It's a shame, Airborne did have potential. There were some talented actors on board and the story was a decent idea. Unfortunately the execution was poor, really poor. The acting was a mix of actors going through the motions and those who seem to think that yelling and screaming constantly is good acting. The story never engages, bogged down by sluggish pacing, the story taking far too long to get going, a fair few draggy irrelevant scenes and trying to do too much at once and doing it very badly indeed. You feel no emotional connection to the characters and know next to nothing about them, while the dialogue is stilted and improvised-sounding often and while you can excuse low-budget there was excuse for a lack of effort put into the special effects. Airborne is shot in a rather drab and veering on amateurish way, is uninterestingly scored and flatly and characterlessly directed. Overall, very, very poor, not worth bothering with. 1/10 Bethany Cox

The beginning of the movie starts out decently. From the start, you sorta get a vague idea of each person on the plane. The story starts pretty quickly. Shortly after the plane takes off, the plot begins to unfold. I have to admit, the ending was almost sad, but the movie in its entirety was very pleasing. It was not slow. The characters could have been slightly more developed, but overall, I felt like I knew enough about them. I don't agree with it's 3.8 rating. I'd give it a five. It's not the greatest, but it had moments where I was a bit shocked or scared. The only thing I didn't like really was that I never felt a connection with any one character. By the end I felt for all of them who were still alive, but there was never one character that I was rooting for. There wasn't an emotional connection. Also, I feel like the mentioning of the myth that surrounds the vase should have been done earlier on so that the audience gets a better feel for whats going on. But of course, this is just my opinion.

Pretty sure they won't play this movie in an airplane. But that might be everything this has in common with a series like "Lost" or other movies (Quarantine 2 would be another example of movies not really meant to be played on board of an airplane). But to compare this with those really good movies/series would be unfair. Unfortunately though, one of the biggest assets this movie could have, is not really in the front seat (literally).I'm talking about Mark Hamill of course. The movie is also pretty decent in the beginning (having some other heavies in it, like Alan Ford), but does lack a stability to it. Characters seem exchangeable and you don't really care for most of them. The revelation isn't done properly, the effects seem decent (though there is nothing big on display here). Logic is thrown out of the window (no pun intended) and other things will annoy you too. Not completely bad, but descending pretty quickly (whatever you might think of the predictable ending).

I watched it earlier today. It is not going to change your life, but it is a decent movie. More crucially for your money, there is more effort visible on the screen than is seen in more high-budget releases. Bear in mind that the budget available to these film makers is probably nearly 10% of what is spend on major releases. Major releases that frequently don't seem to make any effort to entertain you at all. But here you can feel that they wanted to entertain you and for the most part that mission is a success. "Airborne" has performances that suit it's genre, some decent bursts of mayhem, some attractive women, Bricktop, Jack Adleth, and Luke Skywalker in the same movie. I'd say that's pretty good value for a DVD.
