Flight of the Phoenix- DVD
Starring: Dennis Quaid, Giovanni Ribisi, Tyrese, Miranda Otto ,Tony Curran, Sticky Fingaz, Hugh Laurie, Jacob Vargas, Scott Michael Campbell ,Kevork Malikyan
Release date: June 27, 2005 Production year: 2004 Run time: 108 mins
The Story: An oil company shuts downa remote drilling site in teh mongolian desert and sends a plane to collect its misfit employees and the equipment. On route back the plane gets into difficulty due to a huge sandstorm and crashes into the desert.
The pilot and passengers survive apart from a couple of people who arnt even introduced to the viewers and so were obviously going to be lost.
After awaiting rescue in the searing heat and realising that it probably isn't coming they decide to build a new plane out of the old parts and machinery from the drilling site. With numerous hicups, such as sandstorm, nomadic desert pirates, and rouge workers, this film is a slow and painful crawl through to the eventual and quite obvious ending.
The CAST: Dennis Quaid -this film suits him in his role as the captain, down on his luck.
Hugh Laurie- How he got himself roped into this I will never know, but I bet he's regretting it.
The rest of them ive never heard of and couldnt tell you whos who in the film , quite intreged as to who is 'Sticky FINGAZ' though!
The DVD: All the features expected of a DVD nowadays, Scene selection, languages, deleted scenes etc.
Overall: I wouldnt reccomend this film, If you are expecting a 'Con-Air' style action packed adventure then you will be dissapointed! The soundrack however was one good thing to come from this production, a mixture of old and new.

The DVD-specific information is very important when writing is this category. You need to concentrate on the actual extras, sound quality, special effects etc. What extra features are included in the DVD? You should described everything that makes this different from say a video so consumers can ultimately decide whether this would be worth buying on DVD or not Let me know if you add more information. If you are just reviewing the film rather than the dvd then that is easily changed by clicking the tab at the bottom of the review that says what format are you viewing. Change that to film only.

Doesn't tell me anything I couldn't tell from looking at the box. A really basic review, with no in-depth information or qualified opinion. Spelling could be improved too. I did quite like the original version of the film. Laters!

Advantages: Giovanni Ribisi is great as Elliott, The soundtrack is pretty good Disadvantages: The script is simply dull. The movie is half an hour too long, Not enough character development, felt like a total waste of 2 hours
