In Flight

I found the movie to be utterly delightful, captivating me from beginning to end. The main actors delivered exceptional performances, each bringing their characters to life with such authenticity and depth. I must admit, I wasn't expecting the twist at the end; though I sensed something was amiss, I could not have predicted the specific outcome. This unexpected turn was a pleasant surprise that added layers to the narrative. Cristo Fernandez, in particular, stood out with his compelling performance. He infused the story with a great sense of mystery and an undercover vibe, keeping me interested. His portrayal was nothing short of mesmerizing. Overall, it was a really great movie that surpassed my expectations for sure!

Despite a slow beginning (problems with the screenplay, not the director, in my opnion), the story builds and manages to capture your attention thru to the clever ending. Bo Youngblood has done a respectable job on a total budget that was probably less than the cost of the first 5 minutes of 'Wicked'. This small gem is the cinematic equivalent of an 'escape room'. A suggestion: Instead of spending $40 to visit an escape room, stay home and pop some popcorn and rent this for $5.95 and have just as much fun. My grade: Screenplay: 6.5. Production values: 7.5 Director/Actors: 8. Overall entertainment: 7.5.

The movie was a bit jumbled, and never quite understood where the movie was going. I wish there was more to the movie as far as explaining what was happening during the movie. The idea was good, but left more contusion. The acting wasn't bad, which is why the movie was easy to get through, and the story line left enough to keep a person watching to see what the outcome was going to be.

This movie is something I would recommend to a person, if that person were asking for a somewhat decent movie to keep them occupied for an hour and a half. Is this a must see movie? Not by any means, but again it does enough.

While I had indeed never heard about this 2024 thriller, prior to stumbling upon it here in 2025, I must admit that the movie's synopsis did actually sound interesting. And with it being a movie that I hadn't already seen, of course I opted to give it a fair chance.

Writers John Ierardi and Drew McAnany put together a script and storyline that had potential, though I have to say that the narrative was struggling with the slow pacing. There wasn't much of anything interesting or thrilling happening throughout the course of the movie, and that made sitting through "In Flight" quite an ordeal. And it made zero sense that there would be so few passengers on an overseas flight. That is not really how commercial airlines operate. So that was pretty bad writing.

I was actually not familiar with a single actor or actress on the cast list, which actually was a nice thing, as I do enjoy watching new and unfamiliar talents on the screen. The acting performances in the movie were fair.

There are far better thrillers out there in the same ilk as "In Flight", say "Red Eye" from 2005 for example.

"In Flight" was a difficult movie to sit through, and it most certainly is not a movie that will grace my screen a second time. Would I recommend you to sit down and watch "In Flight"? Nope.

My rating of director Bo Youngblood's 2024 thriller "In Flight" lands on a very generous three out of ten stars.

Whoever commissioned this movie needs to be forever barred from a movie set in the future. Most of the time, I can give an awful movie a fair chance and hope that things turn around. After seeing the reviews here, I prepared myself for the worst and knew it would be a failure.

The funniest thing is at the beginning when these two attractive women were ogling at a Neanderthal-looking being who hasn't cut his hair in five years. Also, When you see only a handful of passengers on an overseas flight, that already tells you something is amiss. All in all, the story is unexplained.

The writers stretched a potential Twilight Zone episode into 90 minutes of nonsense and predictability. Nothing is noteworthy, except perhaps for the music.
