I will start by echoing many others who say the concept is interesting. And after reading about Helios Airway flight 522 (which was mentioned in another review) I think it's all the more intriguing. But the thing is, this movie did so little with the concept, character development, etc. that it just isn't good. I guessed the ending as soon as people started disappearing. It's super predictable. Not a big deal - it's hard to provide a real "twist" these days. But there could have been a lot more plot development to get the viewer to the twist. Instead of people disappearing for no apparent reason, how about giving clues. So spirits hang around because they have something they can't let go of? How about showing them letting go in a really subtle way that gives you a little clue but doesn't give away the whole plot? Like honestly, the one flight attendant should have disappeared right after she acknowledged that her boyfriend wasn't going to leave his wife. She could have gone into the cargo hold and never come back. Or why did that character hang around for the rest of the movie after she had this life altering realization? Why did the youtube guy disappear at all? It's not like they showed any unfinished business for him to wrap up before disappearing. Better attention to detail like that would have given the viewer clues as to what was happening and give us an ending that makes sense. Instead we are left with a pale hand and some smoke making people disappear for no good reason. The whole plot is totally disjointed making the thrills and the mystery just eh.

EDIT: I write my review before the movie was done and it was an interesting story and my questions were answered once I got to the end. The story copied a real life incident and although the movie had problems, it was not bad.. Original post: My biggest problem is after two incidents of severe turbulence, a passengers death, the near death of more due to loss of cabin pressure...and the pilots just continue to their long term destination in Tokyo instead of detouring to the nearest airport. I know it is a movie but you got to have a sense of realism. Oh and not to mention they are in a 747 which carriers like 300 passengers but there seems to be only 2 flight attendants and 10 passengers in first class and a few in another section. Movie had potential though!!

This film was really good! And what made me think that it would be a good film was that Scout Taylor Compton was in it!! And without her being in it I probably would never have heard of this film as I looked at what movies she'd been in on google. That said, a really good cast overall, and a really good story line! Furthermore, what makes this film at the top end of the spectrum is that it had a really powerful motto behind it! Which is about holding grudges, and that it is unhealthy to hold them in against people. You should let go of all of your grudges, forgive people and live life with a healthy mindset and a clear conscience.Also, the scene where the remaining survivors see their deaths on the news, I think the spokesman was covering up the truth of what really happened by saying that their oxygen masks had failed, when it hadn't was acting like he didn't want to be fired from employment, could suggest why he was giving off an injustice vibe.Finally, on some of the reviews I have read, people have been really confused about the ending and I really don't see how you can be confused, all of the remaining survivors can see themselves dead in their seats and I'm not sure if it is premonition or not because as soon as they let go of all of their grudges, their souls could then be released from their entrapped bodies and they must have had unfinished business else they wouldn't have been able to go to heaven without a clear conscience. At the very end, the last woman was still roaming around because she hadn't emotionally let go of her feelings. Thank you for reading, I'm only 16 and I understood it, so I knew it was gonna be good as it was produced by the Grudge director!! Insane!!!

"This is gonna be the trip of a lifetime." When passengers board a plane bound for Tokyo they are filled with excitement. When one of the passengers gets sick they think nothing of it. Slowly those aboard begin to experience strange occurrences and excitement turns to fear when nobody knows what to expect, and there is nowhere to hide. This movie has a very made-for-TV feel and is a little cheesy in parts. All that said the movie is pretty entertaining and kinda fun to watch. There is really nothing all that special or original in this but it is nothing but fun and really keeps you interested the entire time. That is what a movie is supposed to be, entertaining and fun. This movie will not win any awards or even become a classic, but if you are looking for something to just pop in and veg out to, you could do worse than this movie. The only real misstep was the ending had a twist that came out of nowhere, and didn't really seem to make sense at all. Overall, entertaining, ridiculous and watchable. A movie you can just sit back and have fun with. I give this a B.
