Just perfect...

It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Made years before the tragedy of 9/11, this high tension thriller takes place on a passenger airliner hijacked by a ruthless, murderous individual who will stop at nothing. The script is incredibly taut and suspenseful, with well-developed characters who we come to care about as they bond and join together as a team in opposition to their brutal assailant. Certainly one of the most exciting air adventures ever filmed yet also one that dramatically portends events that would become part of history in a few years. Magnificently directed by David MacKay from a story by Rob Kirchner, the special effects, stunning imagery, and outstanding cast come together superbly. The shattering climax will have viewers shedding tears of fear and on their feet screaming. A unrelentingly powerful and breathtakingly intense motion picture experience.

Why would the over-head hand baggage compartment be, "A little crowded up there"? The plane isn't even 1/2 filled. Is this film suppose to be a comedy? Czechs, by the way, can usually speak English. I see he suddenly understands English very well. This film has more disasters than my kitchen when my wife isn't home and I have to do the cooking myself. Yep, it's a comedy. So it never occurred to them to toss ALL the baggage off, huh? A bad comedy. You mean all of that groping and fondling in the toilette and she didn't notice he was packing a pop gun and a lethal spear up his sleeve??? She must be frigid! And say ... isn't his ammo clip already empty from that burst in the baggage room? This is an airborne cross-version of "Casandra Crossing" and "Flight of the Phoenix".

'Turbulence' is a daft movie, but a daft movie with good special effects, Ray Liotta/Lauren Holly (which is better than it seems) and - above all - is fun to watch.'Fear of Flying' (frankly, I reckon they added the 'Turbulence 2' to avoid litigation) is a ludicrous movie, with re-used footage from 'Turbluence', Craig Sheffer - my least favorite actor who has been in TWO other air disaster movies, 'Flying Virus' and 'Cabin Pressure' - and is absolutely humdrum.This film is not "So bad it's good!", it's "So bad its awful!". For one, Craig Sheffer is not a likable hero. He's a bumbling little weenie! I think I connected better with the bloody hijacker than anyone else! The supporting cast is not even worth a mention, and it sickens me to think that they reused one scene of this movie in Jodie Foster's 'Flightplan' (who keeps writing these bloody clichéd scripts, anyway? Is it the same one guy?!?!). Heck, even 'Turbulence 3' was better than this! Yes, you heard me - 'TURBULENCE 3' is BETTER than this. Craig Sheffer should be BANNED from making movies. Locked up somewhere. He's such an AWFUL actor! And yes, I realize I'm having a whinge - but it's true! The worst part of this movie is HIM, in all his cocky, scaredy-cat 'save the world and my family' glory! I hate this movie!!!

A Saturday afternoon boring enough to surf all the way down to the WB network.A made-for-TV sequel to a horrible movie, and a surreal semi-prequel to a horrible reality.Strongest Points: Solid, workmanlike performances from a mixed bag of has-beens and wannabees. For the most part, everyone hitting the same tone and rhythm, with no-one seeming to be over or under acting relative to anyone else. No attempt to rely on large scale stunts or effects, and some decent, and wisely brief, hand-to-hand combat sequences.Weakest points: The vaguely Slavic second-string would-be villains are written as such thin caricatures, there is no way anyone could have acted his way out of that hole. And how is it the one Slavic guy can't speak a word of English, but can seemingly understand everything everyone else is saying instantly? The lawyer projectile hurled from the aircraft lands neatly on the console in the control tower right in front of Tom Beringer?OK, now for the REAL reason I bothered to watch and review this turkey: Tom Kenny! This is the second un-credited speaking role in which I have found this versatile utility player best known as the voice of Spongebob Squarepants. The other one was "Escape From Mars" (1999), now listed correctly here at our beloved IMDb.So, just how many more un-credited live action speaking roles has Tom Kenny wedged into his workaholic voice-over schedule? This quest is going to lead me to watch way too many hours of late-night made-for-cable filler.My apologies for the excessive use of hyphenated phrases in this review.
