5.0 out of 5 stars There on their way 22 Aug 2007
Format:DVD
Atmospherically brilliant, This film is all about a small group of people who whilst on an aeroplane fall asleep, when they wake up everybody else on board has disapeared, and everybody on earth is gone.. They need to land to find fuel but are totally perplexed that no one is responding to there calls for help, eventually they do land and they can hear crunching sounds in the distance, what could it be , im not going to spoil it for you, all i can say is its kings imagination at its very best, a great adaption from best selling book to film, buy this its a super film for all the family.

3.0 out of 5 stars Cheesy thriller you're sure to enjoy! 26 Jan 2005
Format:VHS Tape
I bought this film on the advice of my brother, who had found it intriguing. It tells the tale of ten people who take an overnight flight to Boston from Los Angeles. They fall asleep during the flight but when they wake up, they discover that all the other passengers and crew have disappeared. Somewhat fortuitously, there is a pilot among the ten who can fly the plane, so he is able to land the aircraft. But why is everywhere deserted?
I have to say that my family spent much of the time laughing at the bad acting and predictable scenes/dialogue, yet this film kept my two cynical teenagers firmly in their seats until the end. No mean feat, when you consider it lasted three hours.
We were staggered to find that this was made in 1995 - it looks as though it's a 1970s production. The special effects seem dated, but we found ourselves watching them with an odd fascination!
All criticism aside, we really enjoyed the movie. Mark Lindsay Chapman (who plays Nick Hopewell) did a pretty good job with the lines he had, but our favourite character was undoubtedly Craig Toomy (played by Bronson Pinchot). Superbly oddball, his acting was wonderful!
If you want an evening's viewing which isn't too taxing on the brain, this is the one for you. We'll certainly be watching it again.

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing
Not as believable as the book. The film comes over as rather sily after a very promising start. Sorry Mr. King.

Following what I felt was a little ham acting during the conversation to get the pilot onto the `red-eye' flight this story was soon in gear - and stayed there. Read more

Creativity and emotion in a tense atmosphere, great story by King. For me it couples with Groundhog Day in what concerns "time".

This is a quirky slightly scary movie. I read the book years ago and have seen the film so took the opportunity to buy it at a good price. Delivery came quickly too.
