Up in the Air (2009)

Nice story, good acting, amusing.... but was all that product placement and advertising really necessary for such a big production?

Short and Simple Review by WubsTheFadgerGeorge Clooney, Vera Farmiga, Anna Kendrick, and Jason Bateman all perform well. The story has a good mix of drama, comedy, and romance. The pacing can be a little slow, but the good acting helps push it through.The runtime is a little bit overlong but the ending does have some power behind it.Pros: Good acting, the mixture between drama, comedy, and romance are fluid, and a powerful endingCons: Overlong runtime and slow pacingOverall Rating: 7.2/10

i watched this movie falling for this reviews but all i can think of... huh? I repeat the line from movie 'whats the point ?' The movie has nothing of story ,The story follow a perfect man traveling to all this Nice locations to FIRE People WITHOUT REASON , Not a single time they tell the reason why they are firing , george clooney fly from here to there for firing people and claims the air is my home , for the first part of the film we get nice glimpse of perfect travel guy with a hidden target to fly 10,000 Million miles, then he meet Alex(vera farmiga) and fall for each other over their club cards collection, then new girl natalie (ana kendric) who offer them new revolutionary new technology WEB CAM YES! Correct to a webcam to fire people and follow the E-R Diagram for any situation , as ryan feel threaten by natalie decide to show her real job and the capture photo of his sister with her fiancé for wedding then we follow Alex and ryan to this wedding where the groom gets cold feet , forced by his sister ryan talk to him to make him calm and ready to marry realising that he also want to settle , change his whole philosophy and wanted to get married to Alex , he rush to see her only know she is married alerady and have 2 kids she breakup with him then someone commit suicide fire by natalie she feel guilty , leaves the job get another job because ryans glowing recommendation letter , then he gets silver card for traveling his dream target and movie ends with unrelated quote and he traveling to unknown location THE END?!The movie is so bad with no actual finish and just feel complete nonsense . The movie is very good if you have weird obsession with George clooney or fetish for suits then this movie is treat for you but if you are nice decent person DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME .!

Up in the Air (2009) is a film that really does engage its audience. The acting from George Clooney, Vera Farmiga, and Anna Kendrick is all great, they all deserved their academy award nominations. This film revolves around George Clooney's character and his journey through a time of change in his life. Farmiga plays a woman that Clooney sees occasionally in between flights, they usually talk some and have sex, they establish a fairly casual relationship, no real commitments. And Anna Kendrick plays a just out of college newbie that Clooney is showing the ropes to. I was very impressed with how well these talented actors commanded the screen and how they had good chemistry too. I cannot reveal very much more about the plot without giving away spoilers and I don't wanna do that. I'll just say that this film doesn't turn out to be conventional or predictable in any way shape or form. The script is written in a very attention grabbing and intelligent way. You will not be bored at any point while watching this film. The top notch acting, engaging writing and interesting storyline is all too much combined for ones attention to wander. I vigorously encourage everyone to see this film. 8/10 for Up in the Air.
