Review of Skybound

Skybound (2017)
2/10
A collection of tired cliches, weak plot and unlikeable characters
12 December 2017
I was lured to this movie by an intriguing trailer and it also somewhat reminded me of a movie called "Altitude" (2005), which, despite it being utterly stupid, I kind of liked. But this movie, oh boy ....

First of all, this movie is a collection of all imaginable horror cliches - cell phones don't work, red herrings are a plenty, dumb characters are suddenly brilliant, etc. The plot, while interesting, has been done to death and better. The characters are generic (which is something I can forgive) and unlikeable - in the first 5 minutes we learn that the main female character is a blackmailing bitch who only dates rich guys (and she doesn't care they are brother). The black believes Odin is the name of an African god. How likely is that? And the always-right smarter brother gives an emotional motivational speech about how they need to work this out together as a family. Oh yeah, and the dumb blond turns out to be a smart-ass mathematician.

But the interior of the plane was nice. I mean, real nice. If you are into that kind of stuff. The movie, on the other hand, was jaw-droppingly bad with no saving grace at all. Avoid.
