Alongside their oddly popular movies about giant monsters battling it out, The Asylum also like to make low rent disaster movies typically involving CGI planes. AIRLINE DISASTER is such a movie but it turns out to be a copy of the likes of AIR FORCE ONE (itself a copy of DIE HARD) rather than genuine disaster movie like AIRPLANE VS VOLCANO, so that title is a bit of a misnomer.
It's still terrible, however, with poor production values throughout and a script which goes nowhere. The storyline involves a gang of terrorists who hijack a passenger plane; the authorities want to bring the flight down, but a special agent hiding in the cargo hold decides to take matters into her own hands by tackling the terrorists single-handedly.
AIRLINE DISASTER tries to be an adult-themed movie with a hard edge but the added-in violence and swearing just feels silly. The acting is poor across the board, and for a supposed action film this has generally bad choreography which saps enjoyment from the admittedly suspenseful scenario. It's the repetitive inserts of awful-looking CGI planes which really sink this film, though.
