What a clanger!

Firstly, I'm just not into sci-fi.

But if you are going to attempt it, keep the 'real' stuff as real as possible. There is more cheese here than at my local deli.

The aisle width and headroom on the aircraft are ludicrous. Yes, I understand it is about camera access blah blah. But think how much more involving the film would have been if restricted to the intimate confines of a real cabin. The lounge area would have done any Zeppelin proud.

The acting is wooden and by the numbers Suzuki.

The close-up of the ashtray surely inspired Lloyd Bridges' scene in Flying High: "Looks like I picked the wrong day to quit smoking."

Why was there a step down from the aircraft onto the cloud?

To be fair, the film raises a valid moral point. As Robert Oppenheimer said on witnessing the first atomic detonation: Now I am become death, the destroyer of worlds.

They should have pushed the crazy guy out of the aircraft much sooner. Could I have that ham with cheese?
