Summary: Great movie
Review: Is it possible for Harrison Ford to make a bad movie? Maybe, but "Air Force One" ain't it. This is a riveting movie about a terrorist group hijacking the world's most well-known airplane, while the President (played by Ford) must single-handedly defeat them. From Ford's performance to the special effects to the music, this is a wonderful film.Wolfgang Petersen, the maker of the terrifically gripping "Das Boat", directs here and lends the film a terrific sense of claustrophobia. The cat-and-mouse game Ford plays with the terrorists will leave the audience on the edge of their seat. Ford is the idealization of what every American wants his Chief Executive to be- tough, a man of action, resourceful. The same way Cary Grant and Humphrey Bogart were film icons of the 1940s and 50s, Ford will come to be remembered as one of the great actors of the 80s and 90s. His casting could not have been better. Jerry Goldsmith's music here is good, but not great (his score for "U.S. Marshals" was better). I wasn't overly thrilled with Gary Oldman's performance as the leader of the Russian terrorists (a little over-the-top at times) and I wonder if the Russian nationalist plot hasn't been overdone by Hollywood. I also didn't buy the climactic final rescue of the President from the crashing plane. The rest of the cast is quite good however, and the action is exciting. On the balance, a pretty darn good movie.

Summary: An incredible DVD!
Review: If you like a "edge of your seat" movie then check out Air Force One and you will not be dissapointed. I originally saw it in the theater and the DVD does it justice (especially if you're watching it in a home-theater setting!). Watching the movie with the Director's narration is almost as good as the movie itself. Harrison Ford's character is a bit too honest and upright to be a believable president but he put in what I think is one of his best performances to date. Gary Oldman is very effective in his role as a Kazakhstani who is willing to die for his cause and injected a tremendous amount of energy into the film. What makes this movie work is that you get to watch something happen that is improbable and that is something audiences can't get enough of (example: Independace Day , etc). Yes, there are some technical aspects of the story that you need to be willing to overlook, like terrorists walking onto Air Force One posing as journalists (yes, reporters really do fly on the plane, but they are "familiar faces" to the crew). So if you are thinking about adding this movie to your collection, do it! You will enjoy every minute of it!

Summary: Thoroughly Enjoyable
Review: I found this film to be highly entertaining, although somewhat unrealistic. I can accept this because, as a work of fiction, it is precisely that--unrealistic. It had its moments of implausibility, but overall these were forgiveable since we get to see a President who is honorable, decent, and faithful to his beliefs and family--another huge point of fiction considering the current administration. The plane is a bit different from the real thing (so I have been told), but that's ok. Nothing presented in the plane is "beyond belief." Even the "bullet resistant" cabin is possible. The movie is about "What if..." Enjoy it for what it is.

Summary: Fantastic!
Review: This movie is not only action-packed but also contains some message. That the President is really an important person that people die for him. The air combat scene was perfect and the sound is very clear, almost real. But Harisson Ford looks young to be the president and I don't think terrorist can hi-jack air force one.

Summary: Bad review
Review: I have not seen it yet, thought the first few reviews were Ok but the one that gives the whole plot away should NOT be put on line, what the hell use is it if I now have the end of the film. Sorry to put this here but you dont seem to have space for `other` comments.

Summary: Air Force None
Review: In a grand attempt to instill a healthy dose of national fear during these glory days of booming economy and virtual peace, Air Force One puts Harrison Ford in the only good guy-type role he has left to play--dream President of the U.S. of A. AFO, like those Clancy-based political-actioners, is technically pretty snazzy. But it also suffers from a ham-fisted arrogance. I mean, who would have thought we'd actually see a movie where the prez himself becomes the super-dude (Bilbo Clinton would need to cut down on the cheeseburgers, lose the gray, and run four million laps around the White House to be up to such a task). The minor cleverness of AFO stems from director Wolfgang Peterson's ability to set an unbelievable situation squarely in the realm of the possible, kind of. Sometimes it works, but the apple pie propaganda gets pretty gooey, especially toward the end. A Presidential sounding horn section plays in the background every time Marshall kicks a vodka-drinking scuzball in the groin, and the brow-beating of the first family becomes a melodramatic hoot. That's AFO in a nutshell: simple-minded jingoism masked as escapist adventure.

Summary: Good action!
Review: Ok, I will admitt to the fact that this movie is pure fiction, and has nothing to do with "the real deal". But who cares? It has a good plot, although it is a bit far out. This movie only aimes to be 2 hours of good old action, and it absolutely dilivers!
