Really bad

I saw the first 15 minutes....and as a pilot and as someone who knows something about the US Air Force, I couldn't belive it.

In the opening, he's flying a bad CG animation airplane. And if the cartoon level animation waren't bad enough, it's a C-123...a 1950s prop-type that was retired in the 70s.
Also, no co-pilot? I've never heard of a lightning stike damaging a plane that badly. Good thing he missed the gas truck...on second thought if he hit it, no one would of had to sit through this film.
At the Air base, no two people seem to wear the same uniform..I swear the guard was wearing two different patterns of camouflage.
And the entire base sems to have just two business jets...with bogus national markings.
I couldn't bear to watch the rest. Life is too short watching junk like this.

Didn't see the whole movie as it was on my TV yesterday, but I didn't really like it either, though it is better than most of the straight-to-video bulls*hit now-a-days. The acting wasn't that bad actually, Brianne Davis did a good job IMO.

But I wouldn't really recommend it to anyone haha! Not the worst movie ever, but far from good.

4/10 from me.

I am a retired airline pilot and also work in the film industry. I had to see the final credits in order to see if the Director even used a technical adviser--seems to me he did but you can't tell. The pilot closes the thrust levers to take off in the 747. The enlisted guy working the radio on the ground is telling the pilot how to fly and giving him ridiculous instructions. the plane is referred to as a 707 at first and then 747 later. Adding 100yards to a landing strip to make the landing of a 747 using small bobcat tractors at a military base was ridiculous. I just kept watching because I could not believe any one would really put money into a film this ridiculous. I think it was cast from UCLA 1st year acting students. I could go on and on but the sad thing is that I actually rented the movie and that $4.00 alone should have covered the budget on this films production.

I agree with HorrorZone, the acting was not bad at all - a disappointing performance from John Beck (one of my favourite actors, and the reason I decided to watch this when it was on), an actor who normally adds a lot to films/TV productions rather than making them worse, but as a former Aircrewman in the Royal Air Force, for me it was the ridiculous plot and poor set presentation that made this largely unwatchable

Definitely the worst acting in the history of Hollywood. I hoped they would all die..........especially 'Roach'...I deliberatetly spelt her name wrong.....as in cockroach

Wow, Kevin Dobson and Michael Pare found work. It's a miracle!

This whole movie is like a Harlequin Novel for guys: seriously, it's horrible, but so much fun! Ya gotta watch it to understand, but I gotta hand it to Wal*Mart: it was worth the $5 for this and 3 other movies on the same DVD. That's $1.25 for a hilarious way to burn 2 hours. You can't even get a soda and drink for that much! Think about it...or look at it this way: when you're done with the DVD, it'll make a great bird-scare device in the shop, when hung from fishing line. You get 2...*click!*...2...*click!*...2 uses in one!

At least there's comfort in knowing this: if that had been an Airbus they were flying, the story would've been over at the first gunshot. Then it would've been an epic tragedy. *Drool!*

I can tell how bad it must be from the trailer, but I don't mind...I paid ONE CENT for the DVD! I'm just hoping it's SO bad, it will be worth the penny.
