In the realm of high-flying action movies, "Plane" sweeps in like an unexpected storm, catching attention with its fearless blend of adventure and 90’s nostalgia. With the roar of its engines reminiscent of action classics, it taps into a well-missed genre with gusto and a straightforward bravado.
Our hero, Brodie Torrance, portrayed with determination and a rugged exterior, manages to conduct a symphony of bravery in the face of perilous lightning, ensuring his passengers' safety with a daring landing. This feat alone is worth the price of admission, drenched with tension and visual spectacle that keeps your knuckles white.
But as they say - if you're going through hell, keep going. The narrative thrusts further into chaos when our survivors realize their ordeal is just beginning. On this war-scathed island, danger lurks not in nature's wrath, but in human form - rebels with little to lose and everything to gain. Here, the film opens the hatch to a gritty struggle for survival, pitting ordinary lives against extraordinary circumstances.
Enter Louis Gaspare, with a backstory shrouded in mystery. In a narrative twist, this supposed menace to society becomes the wildcard ally to Torrance. Their dynamic pivots from tension to trust, navigating the grey zone of morality the film bravely explores. It's a fascinating study of character under fire and a throwback to the days when the lines between heroes and villains were not so clearly drawn.
However, the skies aren’t completely clear. "Plane" dips through some rough patches, with storytelling elements that sometimes betray its ambition. Certain plot turns might leave the audience skeptical, asking, "Could this really happen?" The believability can wobble a bit like a plane hitting unexpected turbulence.
All told, "Plane" finds its balance more often than not, delivering a solid thrill ride that ensures the viewers remain securely fastened in their seats. For those yearning for 90’s-style action without the sheen and complexity of modern franchises, this film provides an earnest escape, with enough heart-thumping sequences to see you through to its conclusion. Just brace for a bumpy ride - after all, that's part of the entertainment.
So when the cabin lights dim and the projector starts, remember to stow your disbelief snugly in the overhead compartment. "Plane," for the most part, is indeed a good-to-see movie, managing a 7/10 on the flight scorecard. It's the kind of film where once you disembark, you might just catch yourself with a smile - flawed, certainly, but undoubtedly fun.
