This film took its time, in the first half nothing of importance happened only that the protagonist is struggling as rookie pilot and also his love life. And a subplot about a recalcitrant teenage son of the main pilot. It'll surely bore you out, but by the second half, this film took a dramatic turn, when the protagonists' plane went to rescue people on a volcanic island that's about to erupt. There were tense moments and the CGI was wow, very decent, the cinematography was outstanding as well, some wide shot of the island with molten magma dripping down and the take-off through all the burning debris field scenes were breathtaking. However, this film became far-fetched toward the end, transferring people from one plane to the other, seemed very unlikely to be possible. In higher altitudes like that the air pressure will be low, so the oxygen will be scanty and the temp will be extremely low which all makes their chances of survival very little to nothing without inhaling supplemental oxygen. Moreover, one of the character that came up with the idea said he "saw it in a movie" so there's that.
In summary, the performances were all decent, the soundtrack was good, the cinematography was amazing and the CGI was a standout. Very entertaining film with slow start but adrenaline-filled second half.
