Summary: Read This: Great Action Packed Movie!!!!!!
Review: This great action packed movie is a real heart thumper. The action gets it going, than the wonderful dramatazation and sacrifices the people make gets your eyes going. Harrison Ford played this movie with the best he's ever given a movie! When russian terrorists high-jack the air force one, its up to the world's all-time favorite president to make it out. But he doesn't want to do that. His wife and daughter are on the plane, and he's getting them and his crew safe before he goes. When the Russians get him and are black-mailing D.C., whats gonna happen? Is he going to give up his life for his family? Is he gonna let the US blow the plane? You'll have to whatch it to find out! I reccommend this movie to mature teens and adults who can handle this movie. Like i said, its action packed, and tear jerking. THIS MOVIE ROCKS!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Remember Indiana Jones?
Review: Harrison Ford does a great job in this film. He's so convincing in both emotion and action wise as in his great old movie Indiana Jones!

Although we have seen so many films about airplane accidents and hijacking but this one is a Master Piece of all.

the suspense is very original and the action is very entertaining... of course you see that US politics plays a major role in HollyWood!

Summary: Cracking entertainment
Review: Air Force One

Score: 69/100

Wolfgang Petersen, that is a great name isn't it? He made The Boat, In the Line of Fire and numerous other classics. Well, is Air Force One really as good as his older movies? No, the answer is no. But it's not as far off as you may have heard. Air Force One is awesome entertainment, and although it has its share of flaws in the script, you probably won't even notice because you'll be too enthralled with the high-flying adventure.

The President of the USA (Harrison Ford) goes to Moscow and gives a stirring speech outlining the USA's new "Zero-tolerance" policy with respect to terrorism. On the flight home, terrorists actually take over Air Force One (the President's official plane) and take the passengers (including his wife and daughter) hostage. The terrorists plan to execute one hostage every half-hour unless/until their demands are met. However, the President is a former Medal of Honour winner, so the terrorists may be in for a surprise...

We are certainly in for tonnes of surprises. The action is blasting and will grab you when you least expect it and the visual effects are a treat to the eye. The story is weak, but the action delivers plenty of goods and it the films makes darn sure that you and your head won't be turning away from the screen to go to sleep. Harrison Ford is good, but, surprisingly, it's Glenn Close who plays Vice President Kathryn Bennett that really steals the show. Sure, Harrison takes all the action, but Glenn is more powerful. The cheesy lines such as "Get off my plane!" and some silly sequences don't do the film any good. But, it's got plenty of eye-candy and goodness about it with the thrills and most of the performances, so don't worry too much.

Air Force One has some small flaws, but it is still cracking entertainment with a good plot and breathtaking visual effects.

Summary: Not exactly Ford's best work
Review: I actually just bought this DVD a few days ago. I was fairly astounded at the visual quality of the movie, even in full screen mode. The sound was nothing to marvel at (the gunshots, however, did sound really defined on my 5.1 surround sound system). But I didn't buy the movie for Ford, the sound, or even the amazing clarity of its visuals. I really bought Air Force One because of its supporting cast and its "in your face" directorial style (Wolfgang Petersen's trademark). From William H. Macy to Gary Oldman to Glen Close to many others, this movie really shines in its supporting cast (the plane included, who gives a stunning performance, without even a stunt double). However, an outstanding supporting cast does usually mean that the lead role (or roles) isn't doing his or her job. I think that's the only area where this movie fails to be convincing.

Don't think I'm against Harrison Ford or anything. I believe these kinds of movies make the public feel very patriotic. And I believe that if Harrison Ford ran for president, he would probably be victorious.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Intelligent script, plenty of action, but somehow lacking
Review: To me the best thing about this film is the fact that the American point of view is not the only one given voice. There was much truth to what Gary Oldman's character says to the President about american involvement abroad. And as such, for one of the first times, an american film is not so pro american. Bravo!

Now to detract. If our secret service is as inept as they were portrayed in this film I feel sorry for the President. And I have to say that at times certain scenes came off incredibly staged and unrealistic. And some scenes just seemed very inplausible.

All that said I have to say that the film is very entertaining. I just wouldn't rate Air Force One as a purchase.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Konnichi wa, minna-san!
Review: Ne,This movie was AWESOME!!!! Man, heaven forgive me for not putting it on my "Best Movies on Earth" Wish list. Grr!!! Oh well. Maybe I'll make a another list. Anyway, the action here, is spectacular. Acting?! For the love of God, HARRISON FORD'S IN IT!!! Of coruse it was good! This is movie really is awesome! DVD quality? Same as any other DVD. But if you have a DVD player in your home, I advise you to take the biggest speakers you can find and connect it to the TV that's connected to the DVD .You'd be be amused for ages. Okay. I'm done. Baibai.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Action, suspense, everything you need
Review: This movie, made in 1997 by Wolfgang Peterson, is probably one of the better action movies around. It is filled with a great introduction scene that immediately catches your attention, and the acting between Harrison Ford and Gary Oldman is fantastic. You really want to think that they truly hate each other. That's what you get from good acting. We haven't seen that in some time. Also, the action is truly amazing. You want President Marshall--Ford--to succeed and save his family.

The plot, as most already know, is about how the president's plane Air Force One is highjacked by a group of Russian radicals. The president is held hostage while aboard.

Glenne Close does a marvelous job as a woman Vice President, and overall, I think this movie is supurb. It is rated "R" for pretty strong violence and some blood, although it comes nowhere near than what is seen in "Saving Private Ryan" or even "The Rock". Also, there is some mild language, but nothing too severe in my opinion. I love this movie and am even considering purchasing the soundtrack that makes this film even better.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Harrison Ford for President!!
Review: Air Force One is about a president, played by the tough Harrison Ford, who after authorizing the kidnapping of a former Russian republic president for acts of terrorism, faces his own troubles. Air Force One, the most sophisticated aircraft in the sky, is hijacked by a group of Russian terrorists trying to get their leader free from jail. But they did not count on the president fighting back!

With his wife and daughter on the plane, Ford must race against time to save them. Glenn Close, as the Vice President on the ground, becomes acting president after Ford is presumed dead. She tries to talk down the terrorists, the leader played by Gary Oldman, in his most terrifying role ever. But with no success, it is up to Ford to take them out.

This film has some of the best action scenes in a long time, and the DVD transfer is fantastic. This was released close to the birth of the DVD format, so there isn't a whole lot of extras on it. But the picture is nearly perfect and the sound is very good. If you have a dolby digital encoder, you will be in heaven! I subtracted one star only because there were not more bonus features on it. but other than that, this one is an entertainer!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Harrison at his best.
Review: As a 21 year fan & collector of Harrison's, this is him at his best. Great film. Which he would do more films like this. Great disc as well.
