X-312 - Flight to Hell

Rating:
Summary: Only 30 Good Minutes
Review: If you read the hype you might be fooled into thinking that this movie is something of a lost treasure from a groovier time. However, even being a plot-blind fan of B-cinema, this really is hopelessly lame. At least until the last 30 minutes that is. The movie is obviously seriously low budget, and the first hour has little by way of action or entertainment to reward the viewer. Once crashed on the ground, the group of survivors meander along with all the urgency of "picnic at hanging rock". The shoot out with diamond chasing villains has less action than a Sunday afternoon game of lawn bowls. Likewise, the encounter with savage natives could hardly be more boring. If you still haven't turned off by now, the last 30 minutes combine action, sleaze and betrayal into something that starts to resemble the movie they described on the back of the DVD cover. Overall, this movie doesn't live up to its hype and its also not worth watching just to laugh at how stupid it is. However the last 30 minutes are rewarding if you can stick it out that long. Bring some beers, bring your mates and buckle up for an hour of boredom.
