It is all such gloriously smart stupidity that you cannot help but applaud everyone involved for sticking the landing. Read full review

Mike Ryan

Jan 11, 2023

It never gets convoluted or caught up in itself like movies with meta-sounding titles sometimes tend to do. It’s a ’90s style, R-rated action movie that just keeps moving, with very little fat, and delivers some true applause moments. Read full review

A tightly-paced action thriller, Plane competently delivers on the deliciously formulaic tropes of the genre. Read full review

Consider this an entertaining popcorn movie to start the year off right, and as Gerard Butler actioners go, a solid mid-tier production. Read full review

It may be big, brawling and somewhat inelegant in approach, but this Gerard Butler vehicle is an aviation fuel-powered good time. Read full review

The movie offers limited entertainment for those who enjoy this sort of fare but it’s impossible to recommend as anything more than a throw-away at-home selection when all the better streaming titles have been watched. Read full review

Plane is, in essence, the Frontier Airlines of action films: It’s cut-rate to a fault, makes you endure a lot of unpleasantness on the way to its final destination, and still leaves you with the distinct feeling that you didn’t even get what you paid for. Read full review

A fun popcorn movie. Kept me engaged start to finish. No complaints. It's not going for any awards, but who cares. It's just fun. They probably saved a lot of money by not doing a bunch of outside CGI shots of the plane, uh, landing.

Gerald Butler got the most credit by the positive Rottem Tomatoes reviews. As a pilot trying to save his plane and passengers when they land on enemy territory. Mike Colter (Evil, Luke Cage) shows that he can easily be a bad ass action hero as well. The only thing bad about Mike’s character is that we don’t really learn enough about him. Other than he killed someone and was a prisoner on the plane. With him of course Butler’s best hope to get away.… Expand

The last 20 minutes are very fun and the Gerardness of it all is exactly what was needed. But the middle third is dreadfully stale, predictable, and boring, luckily that doesn't last for too long.

There are actually 2 movies here: The flight, which is pretty gripping, and the fight, which is standard action fare. There's tension building up to the emergency landing, but once they arrive in the jungle the threats become human and not especially intimidating. The rescue attempt has lots of gunfire, but not much else. Once you've experienced the entire movie, the absurdity of the premise becomes even more ridiculous. Still, it's a passable but quickly forgotten action flight.… Expand
