BroadcastChic Excellent, a Must See

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Michael Ledo Five young adults charter an airplane for a getaway weekend. Sara pilots the plane which includes one other woman and three boys with testosterone problems who vie for her attention by putting each other down. The movie consists of a lot of blue hue scenes and facial close-ups. The "monster" in the movie was apparently created by the Pastafarians who wanted to introduce their god, the "Flying Spaghetti Monster." The characters were bad and unlikable. Most of the movie consists of bickering among the people in the airplane. While the five of them are in the plane, they ascend into storm clouds and are unable to escape the clouds which are the domain of the multi-tentacle monster you see on the cover. I thought the ending of the movie made the movie Twilight Zone-like, however the poor execution of the plot leading up to it, the inability to use the twist cleverly in the story, and the otherwise lousy scenes made the movie a stinker. It would have made a good 30 minute Creep Show episode. If facial close-ups of Jessica Lowndes is what turns you on, then by all means get this movie. (Worse than "Frozen"!) The movie is rated R for language (rare f-bomb) and a "sexual gesture." That sexual gesture is one of the males pretending to be self-stroking a long shaft, which makes a statement about this movie

contactcharlee First, Sara knows she put everyone at risk. Really? Sara put everyone in this situation. Then fingers and nastiness made towards and blame on Bruce. Sara acted like she did know things and then didn't. Everyone fighting and arguing. WTH. Acting like children up in the air? What were the writers thinking? Then throw in the monster because of Bruce? Where did that come from? Bruce manifested it? All over the place not really cutting it.

Leofwine_draca ALTITUDE is a low rent Canadian B-movie set entirely in a single location: a small plane occupied by five of the most annoying teenage characters you'll see on film. The general purpose of the plot sees their flight interrupted by increasingly bizarre events that seem to be linked to a tragedy from the past. There's a TWILIGHT ZONE feel to the story as the characters are tested to the limit by their extreme situation.Sadly none of this is believable as the film is saddled with sub-par special effects and some very poor acting. The dialogue is also pretty bad, with every single character coming across as unlikeable, so it's one of those ones where I was wishing for their death en masse. It has to be said that the reveal is also rather unbelievable, even with the explicitly Lovecraftian addition to the story which I rather enjoyed. The whole "psychic trauma" angle was taken from previous productions so there's nothing really new here, it's just a twist on an old premise.

michaeldartnell 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)
