better than expected

from the outset if you have seen the trailer then you know that the premise for this film seems ridiculous but i enjoyed it very much.It boils down to the characters of this film having to build a plane from junk and another broken plane to get home safe. You wouldnt catch me getting in that plane.Theres plenty of suspence as some of the characters mask their full and true identities.All round its a good thrill ride.
Average.

A remake of a movie I loved as a kid. So why remake it? One of those movies that was just made because they had no better ideas so they made the same movie again but weaker all round. Entertaining enough I guess but also forgettable. Oh the plot? Plane comes down in the desert and the passengers must remake (yes - rebuild!) the plane to escape the natives.
Actually OK

I knew this was a remake of a film I really liked. As remakes go, why make them?! But, this one was actually quite good. It didn't feel like a remake. Only big let down: Denis Quaid, the rest of the cast was good. This is a nice Friday night in movie, get a bucket of popcorn or some crisps and a cool soda and you're sorted.
