About 40 Minutes Great Entertainment, Thereafter the Disappointment Beginns
10 September 2021
I had the first impression that the movie has pretty good dialogues. Chloe Moretz had pretty good face expressions, which painted a clear image of a young woman with good self confidence in a time when sexism was culturally completely accepted. I suffered with her when she faced the bad language of the other plane crew. It had some moments when the movie got murky and strange, which forced the suspens to a strong level. I loved to see Moretz as a very strong and determined character, which was Great.

But then the story turned unlogic, unrealistic and sometimes simply dumb. The writers didn't care about physics anymore, some moments are cheesy, others seem to be constructed without any simple knowledge of anatomy. I'm not a doctor, but even I know that some things can't be like they were shown. To the end it get's worse and worst. It seems to be a try to push feminism real hard, which would be ok, if it wouldn't look so dumb. So it does feminism a bad deed. Partly I had the feeling they wanted to sabotage the carrer of Moretz, who played fine in the first part of the movie. The second part made the impression that the writers didn't know anymore how to let it end better. It further made the impression to me that they had real troubles to think of an end that puts the story to a comprehensible and fitting end. But the end just revealed the fact that they needed one specific element in the first half (I don't want to explain here, not to spoil), just to force the story somehow. That's really poor.

To the end it nearly became a close to unbearable b*ll***t. I'd recommend it to people who like trash movies. They should watch only the second half, because the first half is still to good for a trashy.
