Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.
Konterr Brilliant and touching
Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
horsegoggles I've seen worse films. The story line was decent. The acting ranged from okay to not so okay. Dialog was amateurish and forced to appear sophisticated, a little embarrassing in spots. The computer graphics were 1999 video game quality. It was hard to believe that they would have made it to the big screen, and they must have been embarrassing on the big screen. Most of the budget must have been spent on graphics and special effects. The whole time I was watching it the action was the only thing that kept me watching. Over the top and beyond reason in many places, but like I said, I've seen worse. I don't know of any reason to recommend it other than for the obvious and over used CGI.
vyruss This movie has EVERY cliché of every terrorism or airliner crisis movie.However, it is not entirely unwatchable, thanks to good performances by Rowland, Loken and Smallwood (and maybe Enberg).What IS amazingly bad, though, is the computer animations they try to pass off as live action scenes. Boy, oh boy, the CGI scenes in "The Last Starfighter", filmed in 1984, are better than these (filmed 17 years later). The feeling of cheepnis really sends shivers down your spine.A pity, this could have been a much better movie with a little more budget and taste.
Mark-129 A micro budgeted but energetic thriller involving a scarred madman's plan to kill thousands by taking control of a jetliner from the ground and crashing it into a nuclear facility. Air Panic boasts good acting by Rodney Rowland and Alexander Enberg as his nemesis. The problem is the story is uncomfortably close to the 9/11 terrorist attacks making it highly unlikely to shw up on movie screens or even television.
Freedomboy I rented this movie because I love Kristanna Loken and I've watched her on many TV shows and since she's having her 15 minutes of fame nowadays with her new T3 movie I wanted to check out what other movies she has been in.She's just OK in terms of acting. Not good and not bad either. She makes up for everything by being extremely gorgeous. YUMMMMMRodney Rowland was quite a surprise as the hero. He provided the only solid good acting in the movie. He's a very good actor and should probably be an action star.Besides Kristanna being OK and Rodney being really good everything else about this movie is garbage in its purest form.A computer hacker hacks into the system of a plane from the ground and using a joystick he tries to slam the plane into a nuclear power plant ..... or something. And of course there are the heroes who stand in his way and ruin his game.This is one of the worst scripts I have ever seen and no wonder it was a low budget flick.What's shocking is that this movie was made in 2001 and it has way too many similarities to the September 11th tragedies.Why do they make movies like this in the first place?Panic * - one star (a waste of too good actors) (also a waste of time) (also known as Air Panic)
