1) That is the worst mockup family photo I've seen in a movie.

2) Martin Klebba is a good actor.

3) Yet another promotional insert/bid for attention by/for U2 in film/TV.

4) A little school bus can tool along for quite awhile without a driver before crashing.

5) Just knowing and saying the words is not enough.

6) N. Cage has a great Captain's voice over the radio.

7) Yet another horrible hair dye job on Cage.

8) He needs a clear runway!

9) Helps to have a daughter who can drive a motorcycle, operate a clutch, and can also operate heavy equipment in a pinch - when you need a clear runway!

10) Mom was right~

Haha I love that the school bus must have been driving for atleast 10 mins before it crashed.

And yes that family photo...one of the worst Photoshop mockups i have seen.

11. Im even less Christian then ever, after watching this travasty.

12. Beliving in god seems to automatically mean your a good person.

13. The Muslim picked the wrong religion, It must suck for all the other 4 billion non-christians.

14. If Nic Cage would have gone for his more Over the top acting, this might have atleast been a bit funny.

15. Christian propaganda movies always manage to be so poor in quality and filled with cheesiness.

15. Christian propaganda movies always manage to be so poor in quality and filled with cheesiness.

At least the ones made by American protestants. Also, since many of the individual sects in protestant Christianity do not believe other sects are True™ Christians like them (what I was taught in the sect I was in as a child; and what I've heard and/or read from those formerly from other sects) the film is even more fictionalized since--dependent on the "sect" who made this film, or it's based on--it would be an even smaller number of people who would disappear.

Meaning maybe millions would disappear but 5-7 billion would still be here and life may be off wondering where those people went but it would still continue fine without them. In 2012 56 million people died worldwide. A little above the 55.2 million average but the world still spins without them, even if missed.

That's what makes the film, the premise, etc., absurd.

16. After the rapture the believers went to Heaven without their clothes, including the children.

17. If there's no one in the cockpit, Autopilot automatically shuts it self off.
18. Biggest mystery in the movie are people disappearing, but no one notices a plane constantly changing shape form A300 to Boeing 787, than 737 which shouldn't even fly over Atlantic
19. There's 737 flying at 10000ft in the middle of Atlantic, not one but two...(calling it self heavy)
20. When you spot on TCAS aircraft from 10mn, approaching you on collision course, you wait for last second to try pull off.

didn't watch the rest of the movie, waned to puke...

Yeah, I was laughing out loud at that point. Basically, they took something that would be a minor inconvenience (landing a plane with one qualified pilot instead of two) and tried to build a whole movie out of it, so they had no choice but to get really silly about it.

[–] milan037-959-511549 9 years ago

Once airborne, the airplane technically doesn't even need single pilot....

and absolutely the dumbest thing they do ... we're going to heaven, we're in heaven, yet we still have crap on that we bought at Wal-Mart?? if crap from Wal-Mart is allowed in heaven then what is allowed in hell??? think about that for a bit and you're gonna have a religious awakening that the only thing sillier than that is to invent some lie to give yourself and others you supposedly care about some comfort in death lying inevitably ahead ... you'd think people would be comforted by the truth and that is there is only this silly lie and nothing else ... have a nice day

take care,
cormac

No. This movie is offensive to American protestants.

This movie appears to have been written by the crazy sign-holders that stand on the street corners preaching doom.

This movie is the Christian version of the ugly American tourist that makes the rest of us look bad.

21. Being able to right a bike oneself

p.s. surely anyone who can drive should be able to use a clutch.

[–] angloo 8 years ago

I've been driving for 40 years and cannot use a clutch. Should I lose my license?

28. At the brink of the 7 years of darkness, miracles are still possible. Against all odds, Chloe single handedly, cuts a path using machines beyond her capabilities detonates explosives as a signal for her father to land the plane. Meanwhile, Buck sees the explosion and somehow knows it's the signal for them to land the plane.

29. With no safety rules to hold them down, a little girl can clear a road in a fraction of the time than it would take a team of construction workers with muscle and experience.

30. Cage made 3 million for ten days work... (if you can call his performing 'work'!)

23. When your phone rings while you're standing atop a bridge tower a couple of hundred feet above the water, you can talk and hear pretty much normally because there's no wind at that level over New York.

[–] chucklemeister 9 years ago

24. Even though the rapture has happened and people are going nuts, Chloe can walk around alone is bad areas and nobody is going to try to tap that.

25. Coach passengers don't matter, not that those of us who have flown coach don't already know that!

26. When a Christian movie has a ton of plot holes for the sake of moving the story along it is a literal "Deus ex machina"

[–] captainjackm 8 years ago

27. it is impossible to not make a ton of Airplane! references while watching a bad movie that takes place on an airplane
