Just watched this Saturday night , as has been said, starts off quite well but just becomes more and moreludicrous. i was watching on my own, am relieved it wasn't just me thought so.The bad looked half alseep himself towarRAB the end, did Jodie really need the money or something?
Flightplan
- Thread starter poori
- Start date
Jodie Foster was the only good thing in it and I felt a bit sorry for her at the end. Not for the character......... but for the actress having to act that crap!
The first half an hour or so was good but as soon as we got to the bit with the heart on the window it turned into a melodramatic pile of nonsense. Plot holes you could fly a plane through!
And since when does the hold of a plane look like the inside of a starship?

I don't think they ever show films that heavily involve planes, am I right? I was under the impression that was a policy on at least some airlines. RAB they don't want to give people ideas or upset passengers!

I don't agree with the post saying she's a bad actress. I also don't agree with calling her a legend!

Are you serious?? I have a thread dedicated to how sh1te this movie is!
Let me ask you these questions, and see if you have answers, because to say it was carefully written is quite frankly ludicrous!
1. What was the point of her husband being killed?
2. Why had her daugher to be kidnapped? What purpose did that serve?
3. What was the point of her being an engineer who had worked on the plane? Where was that used in the "plot" (and I use the word VERY loosely!)?
4. Why was she not shot the moment she exited the plane, having blown it up?
5. How BIG was that aircraft supposed to be?
6 How was it that everyone "forgot" she had a kid when she came onboard?
Your claim frankly annoys me, because this plot could have been written mby my cats! There was no attempt to follow any sort of logic in it, there was no cohesive storyline, and the ending was utter crap.
I await your reply.

Oh yeah, I forgot, two other things:
1. JF was without question the best/only good thing in this movie. She really tried, but it was like trying to stop the Titanic from sinking by holding it up with a piece of rope caught between your teeth!
and
2. Why in the name of all that is holy or unholy did some bright spark call this film "Flightplan"??? A flightplan, for those who dont know, is the intended journey of the plane, filed by the pilot with the tower and ATC, showing where they will be going etc. Nothing about this film focussed on that.
I believe the brain-dead retard who wrote the film or screenplay, or some stupid Hollywood exec, thought that "flightplan" was the layout of the plane, which WAS the focus of most of the film.
But surprise, surprise! It's not!

I thought about it, and remembered some more really glaring plotholes/discrepancies/inconsistencies:-
Halfway through the film, the captain finally believes she's mad, as he's faxed information from the hospital in Berlin where her husband died, showing that the daughter too died there.
A) WHO the hell fabricated that? Was there a doctor in on the plot too? The Stasi? KGB? Sons of the Moon? Holy Christ! and also
B) How did anyone get a fax onto an aircraft in flight??
Then there was the matter of "ransom". She's paid 50 million, an exhorbitant sum, surely less than the price of a new aircraft? It's wired to "her" account, despite the fact that all passengers and crew have been allowed to leave, so there's nothing to lose but the plane (plus her, but they wouldn't care if she died, if she is a terrorist). So again
A) Why didn't they just let her blow up the plane and more to the point
B) can an airline pay ransom? Surely it's up to the government of that airline's country to make the call? And can an airline, as a private body, be seen to be negotiating with terrorists??
Not to mention the kid who said at the end to their parents that she had said all along there was a daughter --- no she bloody didn't!!
And when the passengers all see Jodie with her daugher, the final proof that she wasn't mad, these people, who clapped like lunatics when the air marshall captured her, can only muster a quiet "She never gave up" in response!
I could go on and on, but my head is beginning to hurt...
Inicidentally, just to show I'm not totally biased, the question about the FBI being in Newfoundland when they landed? Well, I would assume that they would be allowed some input even if this wasn't their jurisdiction, if the plane was American --- which it was never established it was: it took off from Berlin and flew to New York. It had an English pilot, so could have been any nationality really. But if it WAS American, that MIGHT account for the FBI being there. Plus 9/11 rules, and all that...
