Storyline

The film opens with two teenagers flying from New York to Los Angeles on New Years Eve. Their nightmare begins when their plane hits extreme turbulence mid-flight. The relentless weather attack causes panic and terror amongst the passengers until the plane ultimately crashes in a remote government-testing area. The handful of survivors from the crash, bloody and disoriented, are then insistently pursued in the darkness by unknown predators that, unbeknownst to them, are part of the government's top-secret Mesa Experiment. Written by Anonymous

Tripe 407
12 August 2012 | by (Germany) – See all my reviews

The opening is engaging and some of the improvised dialog on board the plane is effective. The crash is also effective. Where it all goes wrong is the rest of it.

The ensemble acting is horrible from the point of impact. Nobody listens to anyone else they just scream hysterically over the top of one another for the next 80 minutes. And who in their right mind would keep the camera rolling? I mean really? At one point the Austrailian US Air Marshall (?!) yells at the operator in no uncertain terms to turn it off! Off it goes. But sadly comes back on again and elicits no comment from anybody...

So amidst the drear that follows there are a couple of unintentional laugh out loud moments to be enjoyed. Charlie's line about "...did you see any food and water?" had me howling and the monster's initial reveal did likewise. Otherwise, it is one big pile of dinosaur do-do.

With production values this cheap one needs to be creative by necessity but there is no creativity here. The cast are effectively left direction-less and the improvised footage does not a decent film make.

I actually feel sorry for the actors. I mean who'd want this on their CV? It's hardly career enhancing. But mostly my sympathies lie with the viewers. My recommendation: Give it a miss.
