Airplane 2025

Stumbling upon the 2025 comedy "Airplane 2025" by random chance, I opted to watch it on account of it being a movie that I had neither heard about nor seen before.

With the most prominent of cast names being Tom Arnold, I have to say that I wasn't exactly harboring the biggest of expectations. And once the movie started and I saw The Asylum was behind this movie, I thick my expectations dropped down another notch.

Writers Ryan Ebert and Scotty Mullen put together a script and storyline that would definitely appeal to an adolescent male audience. I must admit, however, that I was expecting a tad more comedy and less lewd scenes. Not that I am a prude, but I just have outgrown this kind of entertainment many, many years ago.

Aside from Tom Arnold, I was only familiar with actress Tania Fox. The acting performances, when they were acting and not performing lewd scenes, were fair enough.

This is definitely not a movie that I will return to watch a second time. It was a struggle to get through it the first time around.

My rating of director Adrian Avila's 2025 movie "Airplane 2025" lands on a generous three out of ten stars.

I'm assuming Asylum Films are releasing this 'reboot' of Airplane now because of the forthcoming big budget Naked Gun remake.

We all know that Asylum make low budget mockbusters and over the years have released a plethora of disaster, monster, horror and comedy rip-offs, most of which aren't very good. The Sharknado franchise has probably been their most successful.

Airplane 2025 is set in the 1970's and I was hoping, even with a low budget, that they could produce a mildly entertaining scatterbrain comedy. Unfortunately, this has none of the audio or visual humour of the original films, the script is poor and the acting isn't brilliant. Tom Arnold is the most well known name here and he pretty much sleepwalks his way through his lines.

What you will get is nothing more than a very soft core porn film, with several of the actresses spending most of the runtime topless, simulating sex and smoking weed with stupid sound effects and very annoying and constant music.

It's a shame that they didn't even try to make a comedy that had its heart in the right place. This has been released purely as slop with Asylum knowing that people will see the Airplane title and watch it out of curiosity.

There's little to no humor anywhere.

Very little, if any, character development and a script which appears to be more about reasons to provide an innuendo or nudity than anything else.

There's an ABUNDANCE of "soft-core-like" looping music backgrounds. Music on a loop, the more it repeats the more annoying it becomes. Seriously, the music is ever-present and never stops. It merely moves from one looping piece to another looping piece.

Rather moronic "video game-esk" sounds - "Boink" "bing" "boom" "twinkle" - all of which make no sense to include.

A lengthy female topless scene at the beginning to perhaps make viewers stick with this longer than they would otherwise. And several other female topless scenes throughout.

There's no real "story" overall. This is more a "collection of scenes" with the thinnest of strings to connect them. (Like a soft-core adult film)

This.. has more in common with 1980s-era late night cable "skinemax" pay channel than it does with the 1980s Airplane films.

----------- PASS -------------------

I saw there was a new Naked Gun movie coming out so I re-watched the originals.

I also saw a new Airplane movie was coming out too so I also re-watched the original Airplane movies.

Then I noticed Asylum had made the new movie. But thought they should be able to make a decent silly comedy...after all the made the Sharknado movies...however, this was more like a soft core porn movie without the porn.

Having said that if you like boobs there are plenty of those in it and Tania Fox's are especially nice. :D.

So just to be clear and to get the minimum characters in this review, this movie is not a patch on the original Airplane movies and should be renamed.

So this is called Airplane '2025'

Its set in the 70s ( apparently ) Its filmed like an 80s sex comedy It feels like it was filmed in the 00s

The 70s setting is more like a 70s cosplay than actual 70s authenticity.

If you enjoy 80s sex comedy's but the rubbish ones, not the good ones and fancy a bit of modern day throwback schlock with lots of boobs and random silly sex scenes then go for it.

The story was written on one page and the jokes written on half of another page and I imagine the rest was made up on the day.

The film takes place mainly on a plane (a set) with the start and end set at the airport and this is about as close as it gets to the original Airplane movie.

Tom Arnold is a passenger on the flight with minimal lines and is also a passenger in this film.

I really don't have much more to add other than its just a pretty bad, silly film with boobs ( all natural to be fair )

So yeah a paltry 3 out of 10 for this.

Its slightly more watchable than other terrible films and thats the best i can give it.
