Love Is in the Air

I loved the scenery and the story is not too bad. I understand there may be inconsistencies on the technical aspects of the piloting job but I don't think the movie warrants the lowest rating. The acting is ok, the filmography was also on point and the story is the typical adversaries turned into lovers. It's nice enough. It even makes me want to book a trip to Australia when I'm able to save enough for it ;). If you are looking for a nice, light movie, and romantic movies are your thing, this one's nice enough. And the story is fine, as romcoms go. I would like to visit the li actions in which the movie was filmed. Really, gorgeous places.

7.4 stars.

We have a story about a young and beautiful female bush pilot of sorts who flies all around the land down under doing this and that. Her dad runs the outfit, but it's owned by a company in England. The owner of the company sends his handsome son from London to Queensland to gut the little airline company because it's hemorrhaging money...

As the rich son and the beautiful female pilot get to know each other they feel immediate attraction, naturally followed by a period of bickering and awkwardness. As anticipated, they fall madly in love. There is a liberal amount of flying and a little bit of adventure, a cyclone and some fresh new stuff that is a nice change of pace from the usual romance movies I've seen the past year.

The scenery, music, the whole experience is breathtaking and romantic. This film is quite enjoyable and well made. The production value is above average, and to top it off the actors are endearing and likable.

The only downside is that something is missing and for some strange reason I can't put a finger on it. I think maybe it's the pacing, just a bit slow perhaps.

I'm a fan of Delta and a huge fan of Australian movies - but this did not work well at all.

It's lolly water iced with cliches and a predictable plot.

I do not understand why these kinds of movies are made. I understand that no-one forces us to watch - so, there's no need to do so then be all negative about it - but, like I said, I'm a Delta fan and a huge Australian movie fan - so, you just want to give it a shot.

But when the writing lacks depth, edge and light and dark, it ends up being little more than a relatively polished episode of Neighbours or Home and Away.

And , unfortunately then, the acting, directing, even the music, flops to the same low levels. Pity.

This was terrible! The father and the mechanic were almost realistic but 'Dana' the pilot, with the makeup, the facial expressions and the lack of serious acting ability made me hide behind a pillow. Her role appeared to be that of a spoilt child despite the story depicting her to be from humble beginnings. William was good to look at but he seemed star struck or something that prevented him really getting into his role...movie was so cliche and unrealistic due to the acting and lack of fine tuning smaller details. The scenery was nice but hard to take serious when the plane was depicted flying all around the skies but they forgot to add fuel. It had the bones to be good... tropical Queensland scenery, true sense of community in remote areas, particularly during major weather events that devastate and a bit of romance thrown in. Less makeup, a bit of dirt and grease and a more 'real' character could have made a tonne of difference.

"Love is in the Air" appears to be a romantic film featuring Delta Goodrem as a seaplane pilot in a cheesy and saccharine love story. The movie seems to rely heavily on clichés and contrived situations, making it a challenging watch for most audiences. The central romance between Dana and William, played by Joshua Sasse, doesn't seem to have much chemistry, and the plot's predictability is a drawback. The film's dialogue and performances also come across as forced at times. While the movie aims for an uplifting experience, it appears to fall short of delivering genuine emotions. Delta Goodrem's performance, while not outstanding, manages to deliver some of the film's corny lines with a straight face. Overall, it seems like a film primarily suited for die-hard fans of the Sydney-born performer rather than a broader audience.
