All your problems are solved, Gerald Butler is at the helm.
If there's one thing I love, it's a movie dealing with planes, trains or boats. Plane is a more than adequate addition to its genre and the first movie I have seen with Gerald Butler. As heroes go, he's not a bad chap, I like the modest but lean look and emphasis more on using his brain than his fists but he's up for that too.
Not all of the movie takes place on the aircraft which is, no pun intended, a nice departure from the usual. The flying part takes up the first third and then comes back at the end. The rest of the film is a sort of Die Hard in the jungle with a little Flight Of The Phoenix thrown in. It's fairly easy to swallow from a suspend disbelief standpoint although the very last shot of our hero sitting by himself in the airliner calling his daughter is way hokey.
It may not be remembered in history like the original Airport but all in all I recommend Plane.
Plane is still in the 5.99 to rent phase, I anticipate it will go on sale in a week or two. 3.0 stars/5
Editor's Note - As of 4/18, Plane is indeed on sale, 9.99 on Vudu only for 4k.
