Airborne (2011) Reviews

• Its a farce.

  ephephess2012-07-30

  This is my first review, I just had to "counter" the obviously producer- written review already here. Do they have no shame? This movie was such a disappointment. Back and forth, yelling, screaming, some blood, some dead people, some footage from the control tower or wherever and some footage of a box. Combine this with an elderly man who has got some insight into Mayan mythology, and you are pretty much set. Could've been so much better, many of the actors actually do a good job and footage/"gore" not so bad. But, as a movie and entertainment product - its a farce.

• How to Make Asylum Movies Look Good

  graeme-206-2550022012-07-30

  Black & Blue productions usually produce some decent titles, however, this must have been contrived from an office party, or worse, for a bet. They crammed so many genres and parodied movies into this one 90minute film, that the viewer is left struggling to keep up, horror/drama/thriller/chiller/psychological/children's/war - they're all there, presumably trying to satisfy anyone who foolishly puts this into their DVD player. The reasonably well known British actors ham it up wonderfully, all their RADA training paying dividends as they munch their way through the abysmal script - clearly ad-libbing the bits they felt warranted more cheese. Set design and the FX are right out of Airport 75, and the cinematographer always seemed to be 5 seconds behind the action - which doesn't bode well for the viewer trying to keep up. I'm still left, even now, trying to work out exactly what the plot was - was it a virus, was it a ghost, was it a poor attempt to copy Quarantine 2, or, was it a cast off from Dickinson's Real Deal coming back to get revenge ? I've no idea, but whatever it was, clearly didn't work. Black & Blue should stick to pwopah notty nuttah stories wif Danny Dyer - at least then, you know what you're getting. Sorry - but save your braincells. 1/10

• This is SO Bad!

  Farkinell2012-07-30

  Sadly I spent £3.49 renting this film online. If it had cost 29p it would have been too much. But it isn't the money that bothers me, it's the time I wasted watching the film believing that it must, surely, get better at some point. Imagine the worst B movie you can - add in poor special effects, rubbish acting and a storyline worthy of a 6 year old and you might get close to understanding how awful this film is. It wasn't funny, you didn't care if any of the characters died (in fact you pretty much hoped all of them would) and I would go as far as to say that this represented the worst of British filmmaking. There wasn't an option to put less than one star - but if there had have been, I most definitely would have used it!

• Boring

  davey21002012-07-30

  Overall a rather boring film. The twists were terrible, the story was terrible but had potential, the acting was fine but they were all given a terrible script and story to deal with. The first review posted is so fake it's not even funny, and to point out: this film does not have the dead reanimated it's just a lie to pull in zombie film fans. The one good thing about the film is that the plot could of been interesting if it took off much sooner, it took about 50 minutes for the plot to form then the film is over shortly after. If you want 120mins of people running around a plane screaming and various close-ups of a shaking box then this will be perfect for you.

• I really wanted to like this.....and It wasn't that bad

  Thrill_KillZ2012-07-29

  With my expectations of viewing a 3.0 film this thing might actually have exceeded them, though not too much. There are numerous plot holes & some novice acting throughout but somehow I was unable to stop watching, maybe I'm just a sucker for B movie airplane horrors. There was just enough mystery & level of suspense to rope me in to the end, even though I was sure I would be rolling my eyes over it. Actually there was quite a bit of eye rolling, I laughed at a good part of it. I won't even begin to lay down the plot, I went in blind & I think that's why it worked. There were a few recognizable actors from the UK to give credit to with Craig Conway & Billy Murray, both with long careers in many memorable films, though they may have been limited with the script here. Hell at least it was better than a SyFy channel film although I don't recommend going to any great lengths to obtain this time killer. If you choose to rent it on PPV just be sure it's either on $.99 special or that you just happen to be a fan of the genre in the mood for an off beat suspense/thriller to have fun with while you wait for people to die. I'll give it a 5/10 it tried & while it failed in some areas it was entertaining to the end, not bad for 2AM & a laugh. Anyone who says this is the worst they have seen has a VERY limited experience in the genre!
