PlatinumRead Just so...so bad
SoftInloveRox Horrible, fascist and poorly acted
Supelice Dreadfully Boring
Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
Stewie Griffin Sometimes the movies that show up on Netflix are a gamble. Hadn't heard of Life in Flight, thought I take a chance. Ugh, I lost this bet. I GET the movie, its just poorly done. Cliché story, bad script, cliché characters, overdone sets, overdone costuming. I mean, what the hell was Kate wearing in her opening scene? This movie just tried way to hard. I don't know who financed the movie and I don't know how it got into Tribeca, but the writer-director needs to put this one behind her and focus her filmmaking talents on more substance, less cheese. I admit I didn't watch the whole movie because I couldn't, every second of it was killing me. Let's start with the first scene with Catherine and Will in bed. How can she still be lying in bed if she's that agitated about starting her day. Will notices the look on her face, but puts the moves on her anyway, instead of asking "Hey what's up? Why so stressed?" Why make it that she's a megabitch and him totally clueless in the first scene! It just doesn't work. The obviousness made me want to wretch. Another 17 minutes and I was done. Just awful!
mvksmall Life in Flight is truly full of badly written characters and horrific messages. Great- end a marriage and FAMILY because he's a bad communicator, and he's "unhappy". He can't communicate with his son because his wife bullies him away from it?? Come on... So then he turns away from both of them. He even admits that he "pretended" to want the career advancement that his wife is fighting, on their behalf, for. Why lie in the first place? And then run off with a woman that can't tell pigeons from sparrows, who obsesses with him on the basis of a few conversations. Heads up, lady, if he does this to his wife and son, he'll do it to you, too. How can this be an "Inspiring family drama?" If you have the least sense of moral responsibility, don't waste your time.
gracenotesstudio *****Warning: May contain spoilers****** I agree with what the previous reviewers have said. However, I'm sick of Hollywood's glamorizing and justifying immoral behavior. There IS no justification for this man's behavior, regardless of his circumstances. ALL marriages have difficulties at times, but that doesn't give us all a license to cheat on our spouses. The architect's willingness to leave his wife for someone else because he's tired of her behavior and expectations, merely adds to the stereotype that men are incapable of making wise decisions independent of their sexual appetites. The only reason I gave the movie a 3 rather than a 1, is that Patrick Wilson, who is one of my favorite actors, is one of the stars. I AM a bit disappointed in his choice of acting vehicles, however.
Sir G o Great movie despite the mediocre cast. Inspiring, shows that life is more than the chase for a dollar and selling out in order to feel like you can become someone. The movie is about staying true to nature of being human. I thought it was great because it inspires the search for something real not materialistic but soulful in the concrete jungle where the human connection has been displaced by sensual pleasures and the endless chase for the next big thing and happiness thats never found. The movie inspires stepping back and evaluating life's values, slowing down, smelling the roses and hearing the long lost voice of the yearning soul within self as well as someone else. I recommend this movie to everyone.
