Awful, a bad movie really, not even a funny b-movie, just a bad one, often annoying. Unless you really really like the idea, not so new anymore, of having the whole thing showed to you through one of the characters’ videocamera. I was never really fond of that, but here it’s also very messy and most of the time it’s also unfocused! It didn’t get me in the spirit, it only made me annoyed.
Plus: it wasn’t even clear sometimes who was recording! After a while I guessed that the two sisters used it in turns although I don’t know why since at first only one liked it and the other kept telling her to stop. Why would she do it then? To have a light? When was it set, in the 90s? It’s a 2012 movie or what? Why didn’t they all have lights on their phones? What year was this??
Anyway, details:
Teenage sisters Trish and Jessie board a plane and record everything to let us know who else is on board. 10 or 15 minutes later, right after the ‘happy new year’ , the turbulence starts and the plane crash. The yelling and confuse chatter begins.
Only half plane is visible, only a bunch of people survived, the rest is dead somewhere. Lois the flight assistant says that rescue will come soon but nobody comes, and they have done nothing but sit and wait. Nobody does a single thing to attend to the many injuries, only a man puts a belt around a girl’s arm because it’s badly cut and she keeps crying. Trish I think.
Only now Lois thinks about looking for a first aid kit (I understand the shock, but almost an hour has passed for them, people are hurt, bleeding, and nobody does a single thing..) but they don’t use it because the main plot starts. They hear strange noises. This is the mystery of the movie, what is around there? uuuuh.
Lois finds nuts and blankets on the plane, but then something grabs her and pulls her away. They can’t see what it was. A woman, Laura, is a US agent with a gun, she shoots but doesn’t know if she hit anything. It may be dark but they can see each other pretty well, but can’t see the giant beast....
Anyway, Lois dies but she hasn’t been eaten or shot or stabbed, who knows what that thing was...
Laura yells a lot too, like everyone else. Isn’t she an agent? Yelling like a scared teenager? :-/
Now too scared to stay there, they all move and reach some kind of hut, and again they yell a lot, like ‘close the door!’ and ‘stay away from door and windows!’ ... from the window we can see a raptor-like creature, which makes me think that that hut is not really a safe place, and still nothing enters! What a polite beast, sees a closed door and stays out..
They talk and yell a lot without actually saying anything, then they find a military box with two torches, how convenient.
They see a car, but when noises are heard again the driver goes back in and drives away, whoever he was.
They say that they are only 6 now, so the two sisters, Laura, Charlie the big man with a head injury, Jimmy the photographer and Tom the man who lost his wife in the crash.
They run away. Tom is pulled away by the mysterious creature ( ... ) and it looks like the camera is hit many times, I don’t understand what that meant...
Trish hurts her ankle and again cries that she can’t move. Everyone has disappeared, but Charlie comes back to help her. Now they switch the camera off, it’s dark but we still hear them. Why?
Camera back on, they run and find a road, also they find again Jimmy that has been bitten in a leg and Laura. They find abandoned houses, and now Trish can move on her own. It looked like she was almost dying from the arm injury and couldn’t stand on her two feet because of her ankle, now she moves with barely a limp.
They find abandoned houses but the girls notice fresh marks of tyres and shoes... :-/ so not really an abandoned area.
They enter and find a radio. They manage to contact someone who keeps asking how many survivors there are, and insists they go back to the airplane to be rescued. There are only 5 now, since Tom was caught.
They go back to the plane, finding the road because Trish noticed the stars and they follow the stars... really, they did that...
Jimmy doesn’t feel good and throws up strange eggs...
They find a car and Laura drives. They hit something, not knowing what. Jimmy says he’ll run out to divert the attention from them but Laura runs after him.
Jessie starts driving and she hits Laura!! The only moment I actually laughed. Come on!
Jimmy is now all ‘go, go!’ Laura is dead apparently, but nobody even checked :-/
I don’t know where they lost Charlie, but there’s only the three of them now and they reach the plane but Jimmy is caught too, so they drive away again.
It’s only the sisters now. They crash the car, but it’s morning, they go out and run. Jessie runs back to get the camera (really???) and then they run. They find a sign with secret military zone written on it, or something like that.
They find a road and a car who stops for them. The man again keeps asking how many survivors there are. He is clearly more interested in that than in what happened to them or how hurt they are.
They insist that everybody else is dead and it’s only the two of them now. They get in the car thinking they are being rescued but the man shoots them both.
Not really a surprise, it was quite obvious.
He says something like ‘full sweep complete’ on his radio, then he picks up the camera murmuring something like let’s see what’s on this tape (or something like that, speak clearly people!) but he can’t see because the creature appears and kills him.
Yep, it is very much like a small maybe middle-size dinosaur.
End of the movie. So what, alien dinosaurs??? The military knew these creatures were roaming free and this man was not worried about that at all??
At least now all the yelling and confused chattering is over. good.
What an awful movie.
I think the movie can also be called Area 407, which is even worse.
