Look at that artwork posted there. How can this go wrong? It is not an Asylum produced Megacreature leaping at an aircraft. Those are tentacles. Which invoke two things - Lovecraft and THE MIST. Look at that trailer. Touches of CREEPSHOW and THE TWILIGHT ZONE. This is going to be a winner!
And then you meet a girl (Jessica Lowndes) far too pretty to be anyone in reality other than an actress/clothes hanger never mind a trainee pilot rebelling against her military colonel and chasing down the memory of her pilot mother who died in a plane crash. And her plausible boyfriend, a. Omicron book geek who would get nowhere near a girl this hot if it wasn't for the manipulation of their shared past. And their is the bonehead athletic boyfriend of her best friend the blonde film student who cannot work a camera and a fifth guy added in for some early disaster fodder.
And when disaster does strike it could not come fast enough. Such a shame the giant tentacle thing only kills one of the five. Bad acting, poor script but actually not bad CGI do not take horror to any new heights. It should be monsters on a plane but instead it's all hormones on a plane with only the all teeth and tits Lowndes making it palatable to the eye if you do not mind her Michael Bay inspired fake tanned face.
Limp dick for the movie. Lowndes causes some stirring.
