5.0 out of 5 stars Utterly Brilliant!
I love this video. The actual movie is only a few minutes long, but the tape also contains a very interesting "Making of 405" segment.

The computer generated special effects are beautiful (as an airline pilot I won't nitpick a couple of details that you will never notice unless you are familiar with the DC-10) and the computer effects are seamless with the...

1.0 out of 5 stars A three-minute video for $90?
I saw this back in 2000 when it first came out. It's very nice. But there is no possible way this is worth $90.

5.0 out of 5 stars Utterly Brilliant!, September 6, 2003
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: 405 [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I love this video. The actual movie is only a few minutes long, but the tape also contains a very interesting "Making of 405" segment.

The computer generated special effects are beautiful (as an airline pilot I won't nitpick a couple of details that you will never notice unless you are familiar with the DC-10) and the computer effects are seamless with the real photography. In fact I would say that the compositing is better than most any big budget Hollywood movie I have ever seen (excepting maybe "Apollo 13.")

I don't want to spoil any of it if you haven't seen it, but I can say that every single person I know that has seen it has loved it. Some airlines have even played it in recurrent training for pilots as a break from the serious business at hand.

You will love this video. Go get it post haste!

5.0 out of 5 stars Reality will never be the same..., March 18, 2001
By 
Dennis Nowicki (Orange County, California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 405 [VHS] (VHS Tape)
A brilliantly conceived filmette, full of tension (and humor) that tricks the eye and mind into belief, then disbelief, then back again. Yes, the largely computer generated incident is amazing, but the true talent is in its direction and editing. Well worth the price of admission, and more substantial than many of today's full length features.

I've nearly worn out my copy I watch this so much. These guys are totally amazing. A great short ... great writing, great direction but the best, of course: the effects.

By A Customer
This review is from: 405 [VHS] (VHS Tape)
When you watch this short video, you can't help but get drawn into the plot as it thickens quite quickly! It is a mastermind made from special affects experts who deserve a definite round of applause. Aviation enthusiasts will love this...........

5.0 out of 5 stars 405 Stars, September 1, 2001
By 
This review is from: 405 [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I just saw this movie at a film festival in Seattle. Lucky me! If you can't see this on the big screen then you should buy it today. If you're a film buff, you'll want a copy of this "early work" from these guys! They're going to make it big, I predict. At least I hope so! C'mon guys, when's your first full length picture coming out?

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Film, With A+ Effects!, February 2, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: 405 [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I stumbled upon this film while tring to download some "adult films" on Morpheus. Some joker renamed it to a more interesting title. I was angry to find that this wasn't what I was looking for. Lucky for me I decided to watch the whole thing. This turned out to be a wonderful and exciting film. I'm glad I found out about it. It's one of the best films I've ever downloaded (non-adult, that is).
