Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaJodie Foster's role was originally written for Sean Penn. The original character's name of "Kyle" was even kept. Coincidentally, Penn's role in The Game (1997) was originally intended for Jodie Foster.
- GoofsThe avionics computers shown in the film appear to be an array of Cray supercomputers in the circular configuration typically seen in a supercomputer lab. In reality, avionics computers are small, ruggedized embedded systems which are distributed throughout the plane. Avionics computing requires highly reliable redundant systems, not massive computing power.
- Crazy creditsThe end credits roll over a blue wire frame animation of the airliner used in the movie.

Featured review
Panic Room but in the sky.
First off, I loved "Panic Room" and Jodie Foster's performance in it. When I first saw the looks of this film, I was very intrigued and thought it was going to be a "The Forgotten 2"....i was very wrong.
What starts off is with Jodie Foster playing a mourning mother after the death of her husband. Her and her daughter catch a flight to go stay with Foster's grandparents, however, after Jodie's character falls asleep, the daughter is gone....and to make matters worst, she is told that she never existed...
Sounds like a good premise eh? Well that's what infused me to go and see it. It starts off well but once the daughter goes missing, it went downhill. Jodie's performance throughout is good, not Oscar worthy but it is one of the highlights of the film (as well as the ever-cool Sean Bean.) Unfortunately I can't go into great depth of anything else of the story because of spoilers, but I will say that the ending plot is horrible, totally impossible and so therefore ruins the impact of the film and its good beginning.
There are also a lot of other things that annoy me about the film, to cut a long list short here are some examples: - a brilliant, new state of the art plane...and there's hardly anyone on board.
My vote is 6/10....go see the film for the enjoyment of Jodie Foster and some thrills. however, do not expect a masterpiece..because this is FAR from great.

- Foster's character, although confused and frustrated does get annoying after a bit, and seeing as w're meant to identify and sympathise with her, is not a good thing.
- The overall twist / ending plot is ridiculous, as I stated before.
