Troy's ability to fly is supposedly based on his 2000 flight hours of a flight simulator on the Playstation 2. There is no game or flight simulator for the Playstation 2 that is nearly detailed enough to prepare someone to fly and land a 747. Also the level of detail in terminology, complex knowledge of landing practices, and identifying runways, as well as the complex controls of the plane, would not be present in a Playstation 2 game. Even a pilot who actually flew all the planes listed by troy would likely have at least some trouble flying such a large plane. See more »

If you got at all caught up in the hype of this movie, even so much as chuckled at any of the viral videos inspired by its epic title (or at the title itself!), you will LOVE this film. It was everything I had hoped for and more. Sex, drugs, violence, gore, guns, other unlikely weapons, deadly reptiles, predictable plot, occasionally questionable acting, tacky CGI, factual inaccuracies, physical impossibilities... I mean, this movie has something for anyone with a pulse.
It has achieved the perfect balance: it is bad enough to be funny, but good enough to be great. If you ever find yourself less than thrilled to be watching it, all you have to do is remember the title and suddenly it's amazing! Really the best thing about it (other than the concept/title) is that, on the whole, it's not a terribly made film. Plus, at least for the screening at our theater, the whole audience was completely into it. People were cheering and clapping and everyone was psyched just to be there.
If you think the idea is lame, if you don't "get it" and don't want to, well, I don't know what to tell you. You've already made up your mind what you're going to think about this movie. But even if you've never heard of it, approach with an open mind and you won't be disappointed. GO SEE IT!
