Let me start off by saying Abigail Schrader has the voice of a whining, dieing cat. From the beginning scene all i could think of was how annoying she was. However, i gave the movie a chance. It started off as a "suspenceful" plane crash, where the plane somehow changes appearance after the crash. Next is about and hour of shaking cameras, annoying dialog, and half blur images of what appears to be a raptor. Later when everyone is falling prey to these dino's they find some eggs.. "WHOA! plot twist!!", actually no. its one of a whole group of random scenes that do nothing for the movie. All in all it was a waste of my time to watch, but i bared through it, and wish i would have stopped half through it, because the end is ruined by a $50 t-rex image,that is too small of scale to even seem "real".

You get to know the characters - you like most of them and you want them to survive. It just takes a little while to get over the shaky, hand-held camera approach. But you have to give them credit for being able to shoot an entire 90 minute film using this approach. It's low budget, sure, but look what they accomplished with it. I was scared in a few places and I felt sad to see some of them killed. I say, well done to the makers and actors who ad libbed the lines and completed the film so quickly.

The characters acts without any logic (e.g: There were 4 of them in the car, one tries to escape by foot to get the attention of the animal that chased them; then another one go out the car to rescue the first one, but the car was working fine! So, the two that remained in car drove for 1 minute, ran over one that had left and the other returned to the car. They drove 1 minute more and arrived where they wanted. Why were not the 4 in the car?) I could give dozens of examples like this. The plot is totally disconnected, the end is predictable and silly. well, run out this movie!

The announcement at the beginning that this was a found footage video made me consider turning it off, but I'm glad I watched the whole thing. Unlike some of the others who liked it, I thought that the flight portion was the slowest part. It was after the crash that the actors really started to shine.The first clue that this wasn't the standard disaster movie was the missing Annoying Hysterical Girl Who Keeps Asking Everyone To Explain What's Happening. She's usually the first to die, and with good reason. There was no Evil Angry Guy Who Steals And Hoards Resources, and no Annoying Blonde Bombshell Afraid To Break A Fingernail.Melanie Lyons did a great job as Laura the Air Marshal (and she is Australian, so there was no discrepancy with her accent). But really, all the actors worked hard in their roles, and the overall effect was impressive. Even if the camera wobbled a lot (and so did the plot), in the end it seemed more realistic than a movie that was too heavily scripted. In the end it was reminiscent of one of the original Twilight Zone episodes in black and white, where there were no special effects and maybe not even that much set dressing, just good solid acting and a wicked twist at the end.Was it my imagination, or did I see Green Beanie Guy pull kind of a pervert move while the passengers were boarding the plane?
