Skybound (2017)

What a beautiful movie!

Purely Joyful Movie!

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

NO fact checking was done by any writers so anyone with any tech knowledge of planes and scientific knowledge of nuclear explosions will be aggravated they wasted ANY time watching this film!See jaapeelman's review too. Any person with an ounce of intelligence knows 1 engine has to work harder after the 2nd is lost b/c the lack of thrust from the failed engine!SPOILER ALERT-They can't land b/c the air is so hot outside near Chicago.Later they open the airplane door at LOW altitude and see "snow" which they realize is ash.They fly maybe 300 feet above burning land and bison in Monument Valley Utah about 400 miles south of SLC.A father calls and says get away from the contamination by staying sky-bound to save yourselves!They cut an engine off with a small hand axe/ hatchet to reduce weight to make it further to Hawaii!First off they ARE contaminated by flying in the nuclear airspace even before the door was opened at such low altitude & below explains why- From a 2009 issue of The Economist: "Typically an airline will strike a balance by using a 50:50 mixture of FRESH and recirculated air," says the magazine. "Although pilots can reduce the amount of fresh air to save fuel. Some are thought to cut it back to only 20 percent." The air circulates until eventually it is drawn into the lower fuselage, where about half of it is vented overboard-sucked out by the pressurization outflow valve. The remaining portion is remixed with a fresh supply from the engines and run through filters, and the cycle begins again.They opened the door so all the air and ash comes into the plane which again contaminates them since they saw ground nuclear explosions and flew over major cities that were hit and below explains- Fallout is the RADIOACTIVE particles that fall to earth as a result of a nuclear explosion. It consists of weapon debris, fission products, and, in the case of a ground burst, radiated soil. Much of this material falls directly back down close to ground zero within several minutes after the explosion, but some travels high into the atmosphere. This material will be dispersed over the earth during the following hours, days (and) months. A nuclear explosion occurring at or near the earth's surface can result in severe contamination by the radioactive fallout.The plane slams into the water head first but everyone gets out even though they threw out ALL the passenger seats which had all the seat belts. They would of been slammed around and the force of impact would of killed everyone except possibly the pilot and person in co-pilot seat.If you like movies with zero ounce of possibility or truth & really bad acting then watch it.

The guy who says it is very accurate and he flies for the airlines is full of it. There are too many mistakes to list them all, but I will give a few. Biggest is chopping off the engine. Come on. If you want to fly on one, shut the other down. You don't chop it off with a hatchet. He mentioned pressure differential. You open a valve to introduce fresh air, not open the door, dummy You don't leave the cockpit empty with the plane on autopilot. Period. They are looking for different airports to land, but only seem to know about large cities. West coast from NY doesn't go over DC, and there are a ton of smaller airports that can handle a jet, but they don't seem to know this. They won't let him take off without a copilot even though the plane arrived without one. Either it is a single pilot jet or it isn't. A jet that size does not have a "subfloor" where a stowaway could hide. I could go on and on. However, I did get a kick out of this movie. It was so bad that I found myself laughing out loud several times.

All this would not happen.1980s the U.S.S.R. admitted to the U.S. they had a problem with their Strategic Rocket Forces (ICBMs) Security.The U.S. provided the U.S.S.R. with the U.S. Concept of ICBM "Launch Codes" in that two separate Launch Codes must be used for each ICBM to Launch, the Launch Codes are NOT at the Missile Command and Control Center nor at each of the Missile Silos but is at a Strategic Command and Control Center like the U.S.S.R.s Ural Mountain Complex (counterpart to U.S. NORAD), these Two Launch Codes per ICBM are transmitted to the Missile Command and Control Center thru the U.S.S.R. Counterpart of a Two Person U.S. Emergency Message Authentication System Message (E.M.A.S.) Message.The U.S.S.R. and U.S. Missile Silo Command and Control Centers were made to withstand a near hit from a Thermo Nuclear Weapon, full armed assaults including airstrikes with repeated strikes of 1,000 pound bombs, procedures are in place that even from within a traitor cannot do as portrayed "Rebels" took over a Russian ICBM Missile Facility and launched on the U.S..At anytime the Russian Federation's Strategic Rocket Forces Command and Control can transmit a Emergency Destruction Code, like the Two Launch Codes, there are Two Emergency Destruction Codes per ICBM.1990s after we defeated the U.S.S.R. at Afghanistan as CIA Operation Cyclone, the U.S.S.R. had fears that the Muslims would seize the U.S.S.R. Nuclear weapons sold to their previous Ally the Pakistanis. The U.S. then showed the Russian Federation how the U.S. provides Security, as Permissive Action Link (P.A.L) Devices, that if tampered with render the Nuclear Warhead, Weapon unusable or in worst case will explode the explosives killing everybody near but not causing a Nuclear Detonation. The Russian Federation mass produced these went into Pakistan and installed these, instructed the Pakistanis how to use this, the Russians then monitored this for years, then the U.S. started the monitoring when the Pakistanis became U.S. Allies.Everything above was verified by U.S and U.S.S.R. (Russian Federation) Verification Officers as required by the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks, and START, Intermediate range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty.

What to say about this one... The acting was appalling, the script all over the place and the music just comically awful! This is one of those masterpieces of badness. This film is just plain terrible, but for some reason I was compelled to finish watching it. Not quite in the "so bad it is good" category, but not as bad as it rightly should be.It is no 2012, Speed or Deep Impact, but it is also only 80 minutes long, so the pain subsides quickly afterwards. If you enjoy cheese and can suffer this, I can think of worse movies you could watch.
