Ok, so you really do have to suspend any sense of reality if you're going to get anything out of this totally far-fetched airborne fantasy - but I still didn't hate it. The acting is terrible - but did anyone expect any less from Alexander ...

Has a couple tense moments but otherwise this was just dumb. The acting was at best average and the plot thin, far too thin for the 90-minute running time. One of those watch and forget-it films. **2.25/5**
