On another note, I think I’d rather have John Cusack’s character flying the plane. If he can drive a limo through a crumbling Los Angeles, make it to the Santa Monica airport (after driving through a skyscraper!), I want HIM driving the plane! Not this nerdly fellow who’s afraid he’ll miss a step on his pre-flight check while the earth is sinking around them.
I dunno about anyone else, but I climb faster with my flaps retracted. Now, if we’re talking about angle of climb…
The very thought of this movie makes me angry.
This isn’t gonna be War and Peace. It’s gonna be a Big Dumb Movie. The kind where you can leave your brain at the door and just tune out for a while.
Those looking for emotional fulfillment need not apply.
I can’t wait!

There’s big dumb movie and then there is MST3K material. I’ll watch it after Mike Nelson has a crack at it.
Well, I love this genre. Yes, they’re almost always really dumb, but I really like them. And yes, I check my critical brain at the door, and proceed to just enjoy it. I’m looking forward to it. 
Indeed that is what I’m talking about. Since he seems incapable of changing his angle of attack, throw out a little flaps to give yourself some extra lift.
For a second I thought that was OJ Simpson sitting in as president.
