Don't waste your time watching this terrible movie. It is so fake and ridiculous it hurts to watch. That stealth plane connected to that thing effortlessly like they do it every day but yet the guy hand him a rebreather at the last second as if they wouldn't have been already highly prepared. The guy going on the plane never asked before hand like how the hell am I going to breathe? Then the guy just jams stripped wires into a hole all twisted together as if that would ever fix anything . Sorry this move is just terrible.

There are worse disaster movies out there than Turbulent Skies, it at least has some novelty value in how goofy it is, but it is still poorly done in many ways. The movie has a cheap and grainy-coloured look to it, right from the choppy way it's edited and the effects at best are laughable. The music sounds very cheesy, the ambiance has a lot to do with it, and is often inappropriately used. For example like drowning out what's happening and what's being said or being scored in a way that jars with the mood of the scene. You even laugh hearing the dialogue and not in a good way, it sounds very awkward and often delivered in a strained way, the worst of the lines causing unintentional humour. The dramatic parts seem melodramatic and ham-fisted and parts that should be fun have no tension whatsoever and are so ridiculous even for a disaster movie, a genre where suspension of disbelief happens a lot but this ridiculousness comes across as insulting. The story has novelty value, but often goes at a pedestrian pace, it's so predictable you have no problem what happens next and there is very little sense that anybody cares about the situation they're in, diluting any kind of suspense and tension. The acting is poor too, not even Brad Dourif, a talented actor who has had his share of good films, can save it. Casper Van Dien, who's quite wooden here, and Patrick Muldoon can't do anything with their material and most of the cast don't even try to act. Nicole Eggert's cleavage has more personality than them. In conclusion, very bad in pretty much every area apart from some novelty value, and that's only really if you're in a generous mood. 2/10 Bethany Cox

When a new airplane that's equipped with a new computer that can fly the plane on its own, is about to have its first flight...This film reunites Casper Van Dien and Patrick Muldoon from "Starship Troopers". One as an intelligent computer programmer and the other as a slick, handsome playboy. In fact, it is one of two films that reunites them this year, so there has to be a connection there... but that is a discussion for another time. Also here is horror veteran Brad Dourif and "Baywatch" babe Nicole Eggert.This comes from Fred Olen Ray, the director of "Alienator" and many other B-movies in the sci-fi genre. So if you are expecting a great film in the normal sense of "great", you chose the wrong film. But if you like basking in cheesy glory, this is a film for you. A crazy computer that wants to kill all its passengers? Oh man, grab a beer and have fun! And really, it is not a bad film. I saw a review that said "worst film in a long time". Please. That is so not true. This film is a cut above anything the SyFy Channel has shown ever, so I can name a dozen films this year that are worse than "Turbulent Skies". This is not to say it is great, either. But just know what to expect when you sit down on the couch and you may come out happier.

The maiden flight of a computer flown 747 goes wrong because of a computer glitch inserted accidentally by the son of the owner, causing the plane to veer off course into an electrical storm where it is naturally hit. With the two standby pilots either dead or incapacitated the task of saving the plane from being shot down by the military, the original inventor of the device is forced to enter the plane via an untried process from another plane (previously used in the film Executive Decision) and bypass the computer.The actualities of this film are poorly researched. the acting is very wooden and the plot is so transparent as to be invisible.
