Reviews

I told my friend that we should see a movie this weekend. Please keep in mind, I already saw the new Captain America, and nothing interested us. We saw Non-Stop, because the poster and trailer looked cool, and the reviews were too bad.

Damn, even for an 8 dollar matinée, that was disappointing.

Let's start. The first 10 minutes are probably the most boring part of the movie, unless you like seeing Liam Neeson getting in a metal detector and helping little girls. Now obviously, I'm not going to complain about the first 10 minutes all that much, but they really could of made it better.

Then we get on the plane, where we see everybody on the plane, excepted for THE ACTUAL Villain. How the hell does this movie think I'm supposed to guess who the villain is if we don't see him until the last 20 minutes? Oh wait, I forgot the story. The story is that Liam Neeson gets a text message saying he will kill somebody on the plane every 20 minutes until the text messages gets 150 million dollars.

Now the first '20 minute kill' is ridiculous, THERE IS NO WAY THAT HE COULD OF POSSIBLY KILLED HIM EXACTLY 20 MINUTES. Now, some people are complaining the movie is too perfect, and it is.

Let's skip some part where we see Liam beat up random citizens, yada yada, slow stuff.

One thing I did like is that it gives you clues throughout. Like at first, you had to pick ANYBODY. Then later, it tells you it's not a passenger and stuff (spoiler it is). Another good thing was the acting wasn't too shabby. I was impressed with Liam Neeson and even the little girl did a good job acting.

We do end up meeting the villain, and by then, we all want to know why he is doing this. When I heard why, I laughed so freaking hard. Speaking of laughing, their is so many scenes that try to be dramatic, but it's just laughably bad. He wants to kill air marshals because of 9/11? So wait, you're going kill the air marshals, who do their possible best everyday to protect the plane, instead of killing terrorists who is the reason WHY 9/11 happened in the first place? Also, if you wanted revenge on the air marshal so bad, why did you ask for 150 million dollars instead of just killing the passengers. Are you saying your dad is worth 150 million dollars, and you rather take that instead of revenge? Then we get to some action. This movie describes itself as an Action flick, the trailer and poster, and even the IMDb genre is titled as an action flick. Only the last 20 or so minutes is action. And even when we do, the cheapest possible CGI is used. I remember somewhat complaining about the CGI in The Winter Soldier at some points, and I actually want to take back what I said about the Winter Soldier.

After all the crappy CGI mess, they land, and (pretty much) everybody gets off safely. By then, I was waiting by the exit of theater to leave.

Even for 8 dollars, don't buy a ticket for this crap. If you do want to see this, pop it for free on TV or a dollar at Redbox.

This review isn't going to be about the movie, but rather the ending, which I hated. Overall, I give the movie 7/10, but here we go. So Dodge sends Penny on a plane, I think it's because to get her to her family. So Dodge goes back to his house. And on the TV the announcer says ''the asteroid will come one week sooner (aka today). What that proves to me, is the writers wanted to ended the movie sooner. So Steve is at his house, then suddenly, Penny arrives. OK, I'll admit, that was a smart move of the writers. So they spend there last hour together, in a bed, about how much they love each other. You can also hear the asteroid coming in. Then the screen turns white as the credits roll.

That's it.

THAT'S FREAKING IT.

For the overall movie, I'd give it a 7, but damn, the ending SUCKED.
