Junior Pilot (2005)

Waste of time

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

Definitely worth renting! Good clean family entertainment. My 4 and 5 year-olds (and I) loved it. Kept them on the edge of their seats. I recommend parents sit with their younger children to watch this, as it can be quite suspenseful for them. It's not too often you can find movies that you can watch with your children, and so this is a rare find. Some of the acting / realism isn't quite there at times, or maybe is a little corny, but children don't seem to notice or care, they love it. Parts are predictable, but other parts are not - like trying to figure out who the good guys are and who the bad guys are. The movie doesn't have any really scary/creepy stuff, and so I doubt it will give children nightmares. It does inspire children to dream, which is something we need to encourage and foster more in our children. Rent and be blessed!

This is officially the terrible, boring, corny, and ridiculous movie ever created. The movie is all about a crazy kid and his friends, and they land a 747. His dreams are very corny and make no sense at all, and is very poorly done. Every special effect looks as if it was done without any modern technology, and might have been created by the kid that plays the "leading role" in the movie. If you watch this movie, it will definitely make you stupider. I advise you to never consider watching this movie, and if you do, good luck and don't miss the brain cells you killed off. My comment does not even fully grasp the awful creation from hell that has been made. The person that wrote the comment before me did not watch the same movie that I dreadfully watched, and wish I never watched. Peace.

There are no - NO redeeming qualities to this film. They didn't check a single fact - NOT ONE about... anything. I feel sorry for Larry Miller, and even more sorry for his agent for not being more capable for finding him a more suitable venue.The adults are all idiotic. The effects are cheesy and devoid of any sense of reality. The music is honestly cheesy. The plot is beyond belief.I you want to see something good with your family, see anything else. Take some time and check for mildew in your attic. My ten-year-old is mocking this film as we watch it. He's unfortunately learning that not every movie is worth watching.

perpetrated on children. More often than not it's simply a series of gross misrepresentations of reality. Packaged in a 'nifty' kids' format (as so many others in the genre) this film does just that. From the head-phone-less 777 pilot who reads a 'newspaper' in the cockpit (folded, read from the hand with less than serious attention, an en-route flight chart is hardly a suspect here; and taking off his glasses in the direst emergency during the film doesn't help) to the ridiculous time-segment distortions, children are given the impressions that not only does everything happen in slow motion in the world, but that 1) professionalism, 2) today's technology, and, 3) emotional stability – among countless other real-world scenarios requiring mature judgment - can be plucked out of the air and bent for their own use simply because they think it so (Hollywood: guilty as charged).Parents, try this at home: give your offspring a good dose of REALITY during the viewing of this flick (put the recorder on 'pause' at the appropriate moment and MAKE IT SO). It may consume some precognitive time --- on your part. There's nothing wrong with fantasy, just make sure your kids know the difference. And, FYI, it's one of the main reasons English-speaking children fall so far behind many nations of the world in high-school and college aptitude. We're not only losing our engineers, teachers, artists – and yes, dreamers – for the same reasons, we're losing parentage.FANTASY: 10 --- REALITY: 1, for an HGN rating – Hollywood Gross Negligence. PS/yes, I've raised children (5) – they're all out of college, doing well and having payed their own way; they know 'the difference' and I didn't pay a dime, just a lot of attention
