Skybound (2017)

The photography is not bad, the acting could be better, but the script is a disaster. I'm sorry, I am a pilot and this script is so stupid, we had to just forward to the end and move on. The person who wrote it is not a pilot. At first, we thought it might be college level but decided not. oh well, turn the sound off and enjoy the scenery.

Anyone who gave this more than 3 stars has to be associated with making the movie. The physics are wrong, the actiing is amateurish and the story is moronic. Whoever buys movies for SHO must be related to whoever greenlighted this. Come on SHO you can do better than this with one hand tied behind your back.

NO fact checking was done by any writers so anyone with any tech knowledge of planes and scientific knowledge of nuclear explosions will be aggravated they wasted ANY time watching this film!See jaapeelman's review too. Any person with an ounce of intelligence knows 1 engine has to work harder after the 2nd is lost b/c the lack of thrust from the failed engine!SPOILER ALERT-They can't land b/c the air is so hot outside near Chicago.Later they open the airplane door at LOW altitude and see "snow" which they realize is ash.They fly maybe 300 feet above burning land and bison in Monument Valley Utah about 400 miles south of SLC.A father calls and says get away from the contamination by staying sky-bound to save yourselves!They cut an engine off with a small hand axe/ hatchet to reduce weight to make it further to Hawaii!First off they ARE contaminated by flying in the nuclear airspace even before the door was opened at such low altitude & below explains why- From a 2009 issue of The Economist: "Typically an airline will strike a balance by using a 50:50 mixture of FRESH and recirculated air," says the magazine. "Although pilots can reduce the amount of fresh air to save fuel. Some are thought to cut it back to only 20 percent." The air circulates until eventually it is drawn into the lower fuselage, where about half of it is vented overboard-sucked out by the pressurization outflow valve. The remaining portion is remixed with a fresh supply from the engines and run through filters, and the cycle begins again.They opened the door so all the air and ash comes into the plane which again contaminates them since they saw ground nuclear explosions and flew over major cities that were hit and below explains- Fallout is the RADIOACTIVE particles that fall to earth as a result of a nuclear explosion. It consists of weapon debris, fission products, and, in the case of a ground burst, radiated soil. Much of this material falls directly back down close to ground zero within several minutes after the explosion, but some travels high into the atmosphere. This material will be dispersed over the earth during the following hours, days (and) months. A nuclear explosion occurring at or near the earth's surface can result in severe contamination by the radioactive fallout.The plane slams into the water head first but everyone gets out even though they threw out ALL the passenger seats which had all the seat belts. They would of been slammed around and the force of impact would of killed everyone except possibly the pilot and person in co-pilot seat.If you like movies with zero ounce of possibility or truth & really bad acting then watch it.

20% of those who voted gave this movie 10. Surely it's time IMDb cleaned up its act and stopped this kind of nonsense."This dinner party of terror" scenario reminded me of films like Tarantino's Hateful Eight" or Hitchcock's Rope". " one 10 review boasted. In what way did this remind me of such brilliant cinema. Well it had a beginning and an end and that's it.This film is not even good enough to achieve zero.Sock puppets can act better than the cast. You could have gotten half a dozen drunks off the street and they could have produced a better performance.The plot grew more ridiculous with every scene. Scientific inaccuracies abound. A chimp on crack could come up with a better story.Take notice of the real reviews on here and avoid wasting any time on this garbage. You can easily find them they gave this less than 3.
