- Sensibility: Major portions of this film are ridiculous to the point of nonsense. A toy dinosaur, a suicide, phone use inside certain rooms, the use of airpods, and some high level decision making choices are all hard to swallow.
- Cinematography: Production design and costuming are highlights, feeling like perfect fits for the government locations and officials. However, some horrible editing choices really drag on the film, namely the transitions into the different parts and the ending shot. In addition sound design and score choices are bland and the visuals on the whole are forgettable.
- Energy: The film is fun to watch but doesn't have any strong emotional resonance and didn't leave me with any lasting feelings.
- Narrative: This is one of those fast paced, parallel story-line dramas that goes in one ear and out the other. It's fun to watch, but has nothing of extreme merit. Dialogue is straightforward and predictable and the ending feels unfinished even though it's obvious where the film is headed. It tries to act as a kind of apocalyptic warning but is too guarded to create any strong emotions.
- T-Points: The film received one point for a conversation about baseball in Stratcom.
Every year has one of these parallel story-line films and most of the times they are duds like this one. Solid airplane movie, but not much more than that. One of those films you could watch and
forget you watched it in a few years when it re-runs on late night cable.
