Watched: Trapped in a moving coffin!
Kyle Pratt is flying home to bury the body of her husband. Accompanying her on the trip is her 6yr old daughter Julia. Shortly after the flight starts, Kyle awakes to find that her daughter Julia is missing and no one seems to know anything about it. In fact, No one remembers seeing her at all. What is going on?
This movie has some serious problems in the plot department. It hinges entirely too much on an outlandish premise that could have -easily- been rendered useless. The entire thing with Kyle's missing daughter Julia is fine. What is not fine is the overarching part. It just does not hold enough water for me.
The characters themselves were all fine for the most part. Even if some of them barely had any reason to be there. Outside Kyle, everyone else seems to be totally secondary, or even tertiary. They could have easily have been played by anyone and no one would have noticed them. It even sort of hints at some other characters becoming major key-players and that goes literally nowhere.
Most of the the movie is set in the closed-environment of the plane. It is hard to keep something like this interesting so there are things here and there to basically soak up time and amount to nothing in the end. This leads to some boring viewing.
Conclusion
I really did not like this movie that much. I love a good mystery plot but I could smell this from a mile away. Absolutely nothing surprised me in this movie and it ended up being very mediocre as a result. It wasn't the characters, it was the plot.
Recommendation
Nope. Not unless you have literally nothing else better to do. It can certainly kill some time for you and it is not the worst thing you could ever watch. However, it is not exciting either and if you can figure out the plot very early on, then there is not much to look forward to in the ending.
