Altitude (2010)

One of my all time favorites.

Good concept, poorly executed.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Somebody apparently thought they had a good idea. Maybe they did, someplace back there, but it turned into a turkey of a movie. The sad thing is that in most ways this is actually fairly well done. A lot of effort went into making a pretty good-looking movie without spending a ton of money, and they did succeed there. However, the characters are so overdrawn that I started rooting for the storm/monster/fate/whatever.Jessica and Julianna are both good eye candy, and they didn't annoy me all the time, but even their Sara and Mel seemed infected by whatever virus it is that causes movie makers to turn capable actors into cardboard stereotypes and start swapping clichés against each other. (I gave up on the boys within the first third of the movie; what a batch of losers.) Perhaps there just wasn't anything else to be done in a little plane for an hour.Then there's that bizarro ending... I think I may need a flow chart.I don't know what we're supposed to take from this movie, exactly, but all I got was a couple of pretty actresses to keep an eye on -- hopefully in better films -- and some practice scratching my head in confusion. Oh, and I lost count of how many beers Sal opened, but it's not worth going back to recount.

i incidentally watched this movie this morning as it was the first channel that came up on my foxtel.all and all, yes it is a pretty crappy premise that is turning the twilight zone airplane story into a modern day movie for teens.I also didn't really care much for the main character as he was weird awkward character (or other characters all of which were stereotypes.) But. for some weird reason I still felt the need to watch all of this movie (possibly because I'm mowing the lawn after it)But usually if I'm not liking a movie at least a little bit i change the channel.Plus the ending had that inclusive time paradox kinda feel.Initially i was going to give this a 6, but i think a modest 5 is what this movie is worth. (i would give it 5.5 if i could)

The movie tries to make this new story that haven't really been seen before BUT! I think that it was a complete waste of time. the story doesn't hold up and basically falls apart and end in a complete mess. the actors doesn't do that well of a job on this movie! i give the movie 2 stars because of the idea of trying something new, but takes 8 stars away from the maximum of 10 because of the story, actors and everything else in this film that makes it what it is! the movie can not be recommended at all... but thanks for trying, just remember next time that trying, isn't always good enough!!I hope u don't waste your time on this film, or on my review. Thanks ! :D

A young pilot flies a twin-engine plane into the dark clouds with four friends and mayhem ensues.Although ridiculous due to outrageous inaccuracies regarding planes, cold and oxygen, the movie did have some decent cinematography. And although some of the dialogue was atrocious, the "Twilight Zone" feel of the story was fairly decent.As someone who is deathly afraid of flying (may kryptonite – besides mathematics), the movie played on those fears, though I had to laugh at some of the flying related abominations. Yes, since it's my fear, I try to know as much about flying as possible.The good news is that this is a fast ninety minutes with some decent tension. If writer Paul Birkett had paid more attention to the realities of flight, this would have been a far stronger film and a better horror.
