Final Approach (1991)
Predictable and boring
I do actually think that I watched this movie with an open mind, but boy was I disappointed! The ending is terribly predictable, one gets it about five minutes into the movie, and then watching another almost two hours makes it really really boring. A ten year old could have figured the "twisted" ending out.
Sure, the dialogue was pretty ok I guess, but having figured out the ending and pretty much the whole story a few minutes into the movie it was pretty meaningless. And just what did the aircraft have to do with all of it, a trick to lure people into renting it? Just don't waste your time watching this movie.

Not that bad really...
This movie scared me senseless some ten years ago when I watched it with a friend! Thus I had no reason at all not to see it now that I got the opportunity to watch it again!
My opinion of it now, ten years later? Well, of course it is not at all as scary, but it is not that bad! I've seen several space-thrillers not getting anywhere close to this one. Nice claustrophobic atmosphere through the entire movie and an ending not too predictable!
If you're bored and want something to watch to pass time, this is a very good choice in my opinion.

I really don't get what all the fuzz is about...
I can't seem to understand why people find this move so exceptionally good. I had problems staying awake due to the in my opinion very slow pace of the story. Sure, the scenery was great, but that doesn't make up for not carrying the story forward. I wasn't sure whether I should laugh or cry when I saw the so-called amazing fighting-scenes, people running up and down walls etc, so obviously held up by ropes. The special effects looked more like some old Bruce Lee movie in my opinion! And why did they cover the actors with flour or something in the fighting scenes? Those puffs of dust when they hit each other only looked stupid! The special effects are beeing compared to the ones in 'The Matrix' all the time, but at least they looked cool in that movie, in this they only look stupid and cheap.
No, I really don't understand why this movie has gotten so much attention... But I suppose it may have something to do with well-known actors and directors...
