This movie hasn't been rated too well and i feel it's my duty to at least cut it a little slack.
Positives: - The plot is actually very original. I wasn't expecting the twist at the end of the movie either so in a way it kept me guessing how the characters would get themselves out of the situation, i would have liked to see a bit more of 'the monster' however you get the general idea of what it's supposed to be.
Negatives: - The threat of 'running out of fuel' panics the crew, yet they're desperate to land the plane! surely running out of fuel would at least make the plane begin to loose altitude and therefore be a better situation than continuously climbing into black cloud!? - Both the characters of Mel and The Colonel are completely pointless to the story. - Some people have said it's "well shot" but i have to disagree. Whilst the director makes the small aircraft seem claustrophobic, the lighting is too dark and sometimes it is difficult to watch.

- The acting is average at best, but the characters created are actually quite good! The young HOT star of the movie is Jess Lowndes who does a decent job of still looking good whilst crying, and actually i liked both the characters of Bruce played by Terra Nova star Landon Liboiron and the annoying Jock Sal who was genuinely detestable - but obviously that's the point.
