The real shocker is the credibility holes bigger than the ones air-conditioning this bird. [30 Sep 2005, p.89]
The New York TimesAnita Gates
"Mayday" is a run-of-the-mill television movie, but it does make its point: a lot of people in positions of authority these days are very bad guys.

Like this movie, most of the passengers in "Mayday" are dead on arrival.
Read Full Review >NewsdayDiane Werts
Maybe the problem with CBS' new Sunday popcorn movie "Mayday" isn't that it could be better. It actually could be worse. Then this would be deliriously mockable trash instead of an occasionally gripping but mostly frustratingly loony piece of hooey.
Read Full Review >VarietyBrian Lowry
Perhaps the intrigue worked better on paper, but squeezed into 88 minutes or so, it's almost comical how everyone keeps conspiring to bring the damn plane down after blasting a hole in it the size of a Hummer.
Read Full Review >Hollywood ReporterRay Richmond
The visual effects from coordinator Laird McMurray and his team in the wake of the missile strike are solid enough, though it's never explained why some people get sucked out of the hole and others don't and why, after the plane levels off, the sucking pretty much stops even as the movie itself continues to suck.

George B. gave it a1:
This was hilarious! The movie was so stupid that I kept on laughing. And Kelly Hu is always hot.
Danel S. gave it a2:
Blech! I remember watching this one sunday afternoon with my dad, and it sucked. completely unbelievable at every stage, stupid premise, ridiculous ending.
Stephen C gave it a2:
What a ridiculous piece of crap. A heat seeking missile that hits a fuselage? It would hit the engine (heat). Also at 65,000 feet - it would have been all over.
Linda C gave it an8:
I thought it was a great movie. I didn't want to be scared out of my wits, I just wanted a good moive and that is what it was.
