    A confusing and slow paced thriller

    This film tells the story of two men in a facility in a post apocalyptic world, whose job is to get up once every six months to keep top scientists alive in their respective sleeping chambers.

    "Air" has an interesting story, but it doesn't have enough to keep a ninety minutes runtime. It is slow paced to the point that it appears to be dragging on just for the sake of filling up screen time. The story is told in a confusing manner, and often I have to form my own interpretations of what is happening. There are far too many unanswered questions regarding many aspects of the plot, hence the plot appears messy. It's quite a pity because "Air" has the potential to be captivating.

    I Liked It!

    Found the sense of isolation, seclusion, possible hallucination (?) and building paranoia immersive as I find them intriguing as themes to begin with; kept me glued.

    The sense of "unknowing" is vital in this one since leaves viewers with an unsettled feeling. Hence, I like that this gives only enough context without an all-out explanation as a prelude.

    Good story about characters thrown together into circumstances beyond their control and how they handle the unexpected.

    I found the pace just right, not too fast and not too slow either. Bottom line, I'd watch it again!

    Very good

    I'm not sure what is with other people, but I thought this movie was very good. Maybe they just can't enjoy something that is not a big blockbuster budget mega action movie.

    I enjoyed the entire movie. I thought the story, acting, set were all good and kept me watching and thinking the entire time. Never once did I think it was boring or wish that it would hurry up already. I thought both main characters were very good and I was never sure who I really wanted to root for.

    There were only a few places where I thought things wouldn't have gone the way they did them but maybe that is just me.

    Yes, I would definitely recommend this movie if you like to think and feel rather than just be entertained.

    Top actors,so so movie

    Norman Reedus and Djimon Hounsou star as two maintenance technicians holed up in an underground bunker after the world above has torn itself apart with nuclear weapons.In this bunker with them in "deep sleep" chambers,are the selected few that hold mankinds hope for the future (scientists/government officials etc).As the air outside is now irradiated and unbreathable,its their job to maintain the chambers and ensure the air in the bunker remains safe until the occupants can be woken up.As clean air is at a premium,Reedus and Hounsou have their own sleep chambers,and must sleep/wake up at timed intervals to ensure the maintenance is continuous.

    But all is not well in this "safe" haven.During a wake period,their computer data on the air outside appears false,and something is wrong with one of their sleep chambers.

    Sabotage?......or are one or both of them losing their minds?

    Air is a dark and claustrophobic movie.The makers did a good job of conveying a sense of being "closed in".The banks of computer screens and and sleep chambers had a very retro look and feel about them which added to the sense of fragility to the world in which theses technicians lived.

    The problem was that neither Reedus or Hounsou managed to convey any real sense of fear or concern to the situations at hand.Their acting skills are normally extremely top notch but here just turn in an average performance.And that was a pity because the opportunity was there for these two to really shine (they were the only 2 main characters after all).

    All in all this is of those "could have been" movies.It's by no means unwatchable.The production values were high,just a shame it was let let down by the below par acting.

    Had potential

    If they had fleshed this out and included more details this could have been a more enjoyable movie. As it stands its left wanting. It does have some good scenes but not enough to make it adequate let alone satisfying.

    • Trivia
      First movie produced by Robert Kirkman, who is the executive producer and head writer of the series The Walking Dead (2010) and creator of the comic book the show is based on.
    • Goofs
      When Cartwright heads to the adjacent facility Bauer tells him to say hello to their counterparts, and when Cartwright gets to the airlock he bangs on it and asks them to let him in. However earlier it showed that all the facilities operated on the same schedule, the maintenance workers from each facility all checked in within a few minutes of each other, indicating the two hour window where they are awake is at the same time for all facilities. Meaning the two workers in this facility should be back asleep in their stasis chambers and wouldn't be able to hear him knocking, which is something both should know.
