Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: When Kate and the team when out searching for the lost plane, she's using a Garmin 60 series GPS. On the screen it shows the first page, which is the satellite signal page. There's no way you can tell how near is the location you intended to find/search.

Quotes:

Dr. John Fury: I never meant for anyone to get hurt, but Haden got greedy.

Is Kate's career that bad?

First off, I'm from Chicago. Someone needed to wrangle up that Kate and the director and have them take a little walk around Illinois in January and then tell them to imagine if it was 30 or 40 or 50 degrees colder. I've seen veteran outdoors man like my Dad be more affected in just 0 degree weather, forget about it being -50. Maybe a chick from Miami believed that is how cold weather is, but not here. What was Kate Beckinsale thinking. Is this one of those occurrences where the actress has to do a three movie picture deal and she waits too long and this is the only one left. The movie was crappy right after the Russian plane went down. The movie went down with it. I wish that after that opening scene I had got up and ran to one of the other theaters in the ciniplex. This movie was something should come on at 4 in the morning on some cable station. It's not even worthy of Blockbuster or NetFlix. What they say, how they say it, the story itself is like crummy 90's late night sci-fi channel stuff.
