Movie Reviews of Air Force One
Movie Review: Awesome and TIMELY! (RELEVANT)
Summary: 5 Stars
People don't often celebrate this movie for its timeliness and relevance but as world events unfold, it is steadily becoming more and more relevant in my humble opinion. This particular version doesn't necessarily add anything to the enjoyment of the movie. But to be honest it's hard to add to sheer perfection. This movie is well-plotted and very believable, even in the moments when you find yourself going "NO WAY!"
Some have written it off as saying it depicts the "cowboy mentality" as if that's a bad thing. Some say that it's a training manual for terrorists that might wish to harm our own leadership.
Personally I think it's merely a good action movie with a good moral to the story. Good will only triumph over Evil when Good learns to take its head out of its scared hind end and actually be willing to stand up for what's right.
Until we are willing to have a back bone, the list of countries that are going to run right over is is ever growing. This movie cautions us not to let that happen. It's up to us to either listen or ignore this stark warning.
Movie Review: We do not negotiate with Terrorists! Now Get Of My Plane!
Summary: 5 Stars
Movie Summary: The President has just laid down a strict antiterrorism policy in a speech in the former Soviet Union. He then boards Air Force One and starts the flight home. Once in the air, a group of Russian terrorists disguised as a news crew takes over the plane. They are brutal and do not hesitate when it comes to having to kill a hostage to make a point. The President must put his new policy into practice and fight to regain control of Air Force One.My Opinion: This is a kick butt action classic. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. Sure there is a little of suspension of disbelief required but this is entertainment, not a documentary. Harrison Ford is terrific as the fighting President. He is a great action hero and proves it here again. The entire cast does a terrific job of pulling this movie off. The action scenes and special effects are truly awesome.
DVD Quality: Widescreen anamorphic and full screen. DD 5.1 Commentary and Trailers. This is pretty much a bare bones DVD.
What You Should Do: See it. Buy, Borrow, or Rent but see it any way you can!
Movie Review: Edge of your seat action ride!
Summary: 5 Stars
There is a lot to like about the film "Airforce One". Fine acting by Harrison Ford as the U.S. President, and even better acting by Gary Oldman, as Khazakstani terrorist Egor Korshunov, draws you into the story of the hijacking of the presidential jet. I truly cared about the characters portrayed in this film, which is essential if you want to keep a viewer interested. If you're fortunate enough to have a decent home theatre setup with digital surround sound, then you're in for an aural treat with this one. Frequent gunfire , huge explosions, and numerous jetfighter sequences, will shake your house and keep the excitement racing. I've watched the film twice in the past week, with different family members, and everyone has enjoyed the experience. While some might criticise the unbelievability of certain story elements, I don't think a movie of this kind is meant to be taken too seriously. As an action film, "Airforce One" succeeds in almost every department. For fans of suspense filled action movies, they don't come much better than this - enjoy!Movie Review: "Air Force One. How in the hell did they get Air Force One?"
Summary: 5 Stars
I walked into the movie theatre expecting one of two things: Either a bore fest or a gore fest. I can now say I was more than than happy with the result. While bordom is nonexistant, the presence of blood is alive and kicking. Personally I believe that the movie does not contain more than a few segments of actual "gore". Each of these instances is easily anticipated, kept rather minimal, and does not last for more than a few seconds. The story line is both simple and complexly woven at the same time. After watching this action phenomenon you can rack you mind of your own family dedication. With wonderful acting (Harrison Ford, Gary Oldman, Glen Close, and Liesel Matthews), astounding special affects, and suspense thick enough to cut with a knife this film can easily become a personal favorite. My advice: A must see. Bring the family, but leave the any small children at home. Remember, you may want to check this film out first. There are scenes which can be debated over violence matters.Movie Review: Requires a suspension of disbelief
Summary: 5 Stars
Don't try to figure out just how many rounds of machine gun fire an aircraft can absorb without depressurizing and crashing. Just sit back and enjoy the story, for heaven's sake. We viewers are now always required to BELIEVE the stuff we're watching; most movies are made to entertain; few are made to educate. If you take Air Force One for what it is, a wholly impossible and improbably bit of acting and producing and directing, then you won't be disappointed. It's not trying to be Shakespeare, so don't try to judge it as such.Harrison Ford plays a U.S. president who seems to have gotten his training in guerrilla warfare or at least as a member of the Green Berets. He single-handedly bests a band of Russian thugs who try to pull of a mid-flight takeover of Air Force One. Glenn Close is the VP who manages things from Washington. Stuff happens so fast in this action-thriller that you won't have time to wonder why the plane didn't crash within the first 20 minutes.
Top notch stuff, for what it's meant to be.
