8/10
Competent however formulaic
16 December 2019
This film pressed all the buttons for me in terms of a classic disaster movie updated for the smartphone era. Yes some plausibility issues but still massive problems as much of the issues are purely technical despite the drama surrounding the main characters convulsing around at some pace and indeed complexity - the twists and turns, and the fairly benign deneumont with sickly sweet romantic interests all round ni I just just love it as it not only plays all the old tropes but seems to have gone through them all from A-Z. The bit, was it Airport '77? wth the concourse window was referenced near the end. And making it just the more miserable and mundane like perhaps many tradegies really are to experience, there's hardly a flicker of genuine humour or pastiche. It's a serious genre movie that's pretty decent serving up OK writing and almost dignified performances.
