I feel bad ripping this thing, because it is a good idea for a movie and they clearly had the best of intentions. But my wife and I only lasted 15 minutes into this abomination, and we were cringing the entire time. The dialog is absolutely painful to listen to – when lines (and their deliveries) are so bad you are laughing out loud, that is not a good sign! The set-up is horrible. The planes look completely and utterly fake, the CGI approaching “worst-ever” status. And the central characters are just run-of-the-mill caricatures of typical action-film types – the solid good-guy leader, the crazy “brilliant” guy, the lazy wise-cracking guy. It was all so God-awful we couldn’t even make it to Terrence Howard, to see what ignominy that fine actor has been lowered to in a quest to find work.

I mean, couldn’t they have tried just a little bit to make this film worth watching?
