Matt Brunson Film Frenzy 04/09/2022
2.5/4
A silly premise is handled fairly well, and it's certainly superior to the limp Airport 1975 and the godawful The Concorde ... Airport '79. Go to Full Review Diego Galán El Pais (Spain) 09/04/2019
The movie's only pretension is to create a spectacle of immediate consumption that is largely forgettable. [Full Review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Stephen C @bob25009 9h Success in 01 hour, 54 minutes, and 41 seconds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All ages admitted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more David B. 3d 🤣 4 minutes was enough for me See more Darin P 09/20/2024 This is rottentomato paste, good production quality, fantastic cast, and nearly unwatchable. Funny for like ten minutes, the ten more for the 70s tv star nostalgia. Running time 1:45 and a half. See more @Patrick319 09/11/2024 It was bad. So bad that I couldn't get past the halfway point before turning it off. See more Christopher P 11/28/2022 A plane ends up in orbit, the space shuttle makes at least 3 launches in less than 24 hours, but the most unrealistic thing about this movie is how calm and collected everyone is even after witnessing TWO failed rescue attempts that cost the lives of 6 of their fellow passengers! See more 04/21/2022 As a child I recall renting this from a video store and really enjoying it, especially as the similar HOTOL spaceplane was often in the news at the time. It bears a lot of similarities to a 1996 novel "Sabre" by UK author James Follett. See more Read all reviews
