rpittman Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 Can't say much for the story or the acting, but some scenes from "Flight of the Phoenix" got the old RSW-15 moving some air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelerFan Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 I enjoyed this movie very much, but got stuck watching it on my parents no sub, no rear speaker, Dolby Pro-Logic HT. Good movie, but the original was better in this instance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickB Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 The crash scene was intense. My subs had the couch shaking so much I had to put both my feet on the floor to keep from sliding off. My wife had a death grip on my arm so tight I think she actually thought we were crashing. Afterwards she looked at me and laughing said damn those subs kick ***, and will you play that scene again.

Foxman Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 Well I am generaly VERY easy to please and probably to a fault. I seldom critique movies but having prefaced this with that; this movie was boring at times. I thought the writing and editing left a lot to be desired. Probably more so the editing. We started to watch the some of the extra's but my wife was really wanting to get to sleep so I cut that short, but you could tell from some of the extended scenes that didnt make the cut that the writing is at least partly to blame. *****SPoiler Warner Example of poor writing in the extended scene I saw was when the model airplane designer was coming up with the idea of having the people lay flat on the wings . The scene was stupid even by my standards as he explained that clearly someone wouldnt survive and thats why there was one short on his drawing, and then one guy gets shot later. I thought that scene was very melodramatic as well. The scene that started me wondering about the editing was when Quades character went looking for the guy that wondered off, they sort of chopped that scene up and showed a glimpse of the guy who wondered off because the audiance had no way to know which guy it was since his character had no impact on the movie. Something about the way that scene was edited was nasty. Another was when they had to dig the Phoenix out, one minute the guy bends over to start and the next they are dragging that plane across the desert. Sorry to be so critical and believe it or not I was OK with the movie but mainly because of the PQ and SQ. When I start noticing things like I mentioned then it MUST be a poor movie because I never notice. I give it 1 out of 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickB Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 Yeah, I thought the old Jimmy Stewart version was a lot better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
customsteve01 Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 I agree the origonal is alot better. Before I saw the remake I was wondering how they could remake it to where it would meet up with todays requirement for lots of fast pace and action, because the origanal didn't have alot in it to begin with. Did have a good sound track tho. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcoker Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 I always find it amazing how many movies are remakes. I guess Hollywood is running out of ideas. Go Bollywood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
