Airliner Sky Battle

Well, when I sat down to watch the 2020 movie "Airliner Sky Battle" and saw that the intro shot had The Asylum's name on it, I thought that this was going to be yet another of their many dubious movies. But still, I opted to watch "Airliner Sky Battle", as it had Bai Ling on the cast list. And color me impressed, as "Airliner Sky Battle" was not your archetypical movie from The Asylum. Nay, this 2020 movie was actually entertaining and a fun watch. Sure, the storyline is pretty far out there, but there was just something about the storyline that made it all work. This is, for a lack of better term, the type of entertainment where you just lean back, switch off your brain and enjoy the movie. Visually then "Airliner Sky Battle" wasn't actually all that bad. The Asylum has far worse and questionable movie effects to their name. Indeed, it wasn't state of the art CGI effects to bedazzle the audience and blow you away. But the special effects worked as intended and came off as being realistic enough. The acting in the movie was adequate. There are good enough acting performances, although the movie is hardly one that is rocking a cast ensemble of super famous actors or actresses. All in all, then "Airliner Sky Battle" actually proved more entertaining and watchable than I had initially anticipated it would. Just goes to prove that not everything that is churned out at the old The Asylum factory is sheer rubbish. My rating of "Airliner Sky Battle" lands - pardon the pun - on a six out of ten stars.

A jetliner is hijacked and does a Crazy Ivan on another commercial plane. The plane is on a mission to crash into Calvert Cliffs nuclear facility unless the US withdraws all of its troops everywhere in the world starting with the Ukraine. Also the Russians installed a virus in all of our military jets and computerized equipment so the military is at a loss what to do. A commercial plane traveling east from NY is the only plane that can take down the southbound plane traveling south from NY. A lot didn't make sense. With heavy commercial air traffic, the plane going in the wrong direction doesn't make sense. Also this plane must play catch-up. I have worked at Calvert Cliffs. It has a containment of re-enforced concrete. The reactor is shutting down and is in a steel vessel with more concrete. It could hit the Spent Fuel Pool if they are lucky. That could vaporize the cooling water, overheat the spent fuel and cause it to breach. There could be a steam explosion that could release radioactivity, but with west to east prevailing winds, it would effect some farmland and blow out to sea. Washington would be spared. Just saying. The characters and plot were hokey at best. Could have been a great film if they took their time writing it. Guide: No F-words, sex, or nudity.

The problem with airplane movies is that although looks good there is a clear lack of knowledge by the film makers of the physics of aerodynamics. Frankly not real and even not good fiction. I was hoping that some sense would eventually prevail but nothing. Down to the detail of two engine throttles for a four engined aircraft !!

Mediocre plot-line but the acting and everything else was bad. I honestly would rate this a 0/10 but sadly, that is not an option. Wouldn't recommend but a for effort.

But, it turned out not too bad. Did it have flaws, sure, will it win any awards, nope. Selena (Alyson Gorske) was nice eye candy. General Hayes (Terry Woodberry) acted and looked like Idris Elba, uncanny. Dr. Meili Liu (Bai Ling) wasn't very good in this. As for the movie, I was entertained and would recommend it, but don't expect big budget action.

It is a low quality movie; however the story attracts me till the end. The suspense of the story and the new idea of innocent passengers to willingly sacrifice everything for the sake of their country is exciting. If the story was written in a professional way and the budget was high, this movie could be better

Rubbish, entertaining rubbish, only to be laughed at. This film is funny rubbish. 4/10 because it did make smile through out, it's terrible, but not quite "it's that terrible it's amazing!" Literally watch this if you have seen everything you've ever wanted to see in the universe, I feel dirty watching and reviewing this, so I'm off for a bath.

I mean we all seen their knock off movies one time or another, they get by the copyright law by changing the name a bit but keep the plot more or less the same i dont think i ever seen a movie from then thats been original.some are bad,some are worse and some well you still asking your self why ?. in any case watching a movie from them you at least you either laugh from beginning to end or scratch your head well beyond the movie closing
