This review is from: The Flight of the Phoenix (1965) / Flight of the Phoenix (2005) (Double Feature) (DVD)

Bought this for my son and enjoyed getting to see both eras of movie-making styles. Solid casting and a very neat concept for those that love aviation and enjoy adventures set in unusual locations.

This review is from: The Flight of the Phoenix (1965) / Flight of the Phoenix (2005) (Double Feature) (DVD)

It was not a wise move for FOX to juxtapose the 2004 FLIGHT OF THE PHOENIX against Robert Aldrich's original classic from 1965. On its own the remake is an OK picture, but in comparison to its predecessor the newer version is a failure.

Seems to me the idea of a double feature is you watch two pictures in a row. Who is really gonna sit throught TWO "Phoenix"es, TWO "Alamo"s, TWO "Sabrina"s or TWO "Cape Fears" in one afternoon? Not I, and probably not you.

Let's call this what it is: a clean widescreen transfer of a great adventure story with a sterling cast, plus some modern throwaway with a single star and mostly nobodies in support.

FIVE stars for the '65 "Phoenix." THREE stars for the remake. Average: FOUR stars.
