Movie Reviews of Flight of the Phoenix (Widescreen Edition)
Movie Review: The Flight of the Phoenix
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the best made films I ever saw. The acting was perfect
especially Dennis Quaid and GiovanniRabisi. The photograpy was magnificent. Story line was excellent. How can this only get three stars??? Considering the nothing but stupid action films that are being released now, it shows there are still words in a movie instead of beastly plastic figurines. I highly recommend this film.Saw this in blu-ray. If you take the time to listen to the making of the film by the men who actually took the initiative to really care about quality, it would be a five star all the way! Kathleen Locke
Summary of Flight of the Phoenix (Widescreen Edition)
An action-adventure in which a group of air crash survivors - cast-offs from society who will never be missed - are stranded in the Mongolian desert with no hope of rescue. As they attempt to build a new plane from the wreckage of the old one, in hopes of flying back to civilization, they experience a rebirth of their own.As superfluous remakes go, Flight of the Phoenix could've been better, and could've been worse. It's a passable popcorn adventure, especially for those unfamiliar with the 1965 original, which starred James Stewart, made headlines for the crash-landing death of stunt-pilot Paul Mantz, and now stands as a minor classic of its era. This flashy remake stars Dennis Quaid in Stewart's role, adds a woman to the list of plane-crash survivors, and showcases Giovanni Ribisi, who gives a cleverly eccentric performance as the model-airplane designer who proposes to rebuild a crashed cargo plane into a single-engine escape from certain death in the remote Gobi desert. Both films are essentially identical, but this remake is somehow less believable (due to shortcuts in a haphazardly written screenplay) and much more spectacular, owing to the advantage of impressive special effects. Otherwise it's a routine dose of survivalist entertainment from the director of Behind Enemy Lines, never convincing enough to be genuinely compelling, but certainly never boring. --Jeff Shannon
