Flightplan (2005)
Worth watching
Despite the several highly unlikely parts of the plot, enjoy the thriller and ignore the holes in the storyline. No-one could miss the child being brought aboard, no-one could alter the passenger manifesto and the sky marshal was never once asked for his credentials, the aircraft captain didn't even know he was on board! But Jodie Foster and Sean Penn are the backbone of the performance, enjoy them.
Flight (2012)
Thin story and full of unpleasantness
If, after being constantly bombarded with foul language, booze, cigarettes and drugs, you can find any pleasure in this absurd and completely unbelievable storyline, I congratulate you. No First Officer co-pilot in reality would tolerate his Captain arriving on the flight deck still hung over from booze and wobbly from cocaine.
The girl Nicole, ably played by Kelly Reilly, has the best of the plot, although her character's input is very secondary, virtually redundant., almost as if the part she plays was simply a bolt-on vehicle for her ability.
Denzil Washington can do MUCH better than take movie characters who constantly emit foul language, smoke every 5 minutes, booze and snort cocaine. I would simply complain about the ending - it's too far from the beginning.
'Whip Whitaker' (character) thoroughly deserves to spend the rest of his life in jail and I would be surprised if anyone could summon the slightest sympathy for him.
Don't bother with this one.
Vivarium (2019)
Total waste of time, don't bother
Vivarium doesn't know if it's a horror, sci-fi or comedy movie. "Truman Show" meets "Groundhog Day" meets "IT" So don't waste your time or money on it..
It would have done tolerably well as a 25 minute TV time-filler but as a full length movie it is a complete mess. Unbelievable storyline even for a pseudo-horror movie, awful and very obviously CG 'locations', far too much quite unnecessary foul language.
As for that dreadful child, I suspect that most couples who were lumbered with him would have disposed of him within a few moments of his screaming. That this couple did not do so makes the while storyline laughable. What a waste of two otherwise good actors.
