The only reason I tracked this movie down is that I am trying to collect what may be considered a collection of The Sci-Fi Channel Original Movies. After viewing it all I have to say is that it will fit perfectly with those I already have. :)

RAVAGER starts out promising with the crash of a futuristic plane in the wilds of Asia (?). But then it crashes into an incoherent, muddled and basically slow-paced bore. Ravager is some kind of biochemical weapon which has been buried in a special cave underneath the plane's crash site. One of the ship's officers accidentally gets himself doused with the nasty Ravager and falls victim to its horrifying effects. However, what the film never tells us is WHY this Ravager was made, and exactly WHAT its purpose is. It doesn't kill; it just kind of puts people in foul moods.

Performances are either histrionically bad (Bruce Payne and Yancy Butler); or lethargically underplayed (Juliet Landau and Stanley Kamel). No one tells us why these particular passengers are on the plane, and even when Payne says their flight isn't supposed to be happening, he never tells us WHY.

A complete disappointment.

Took me a while to get this movie, I thought it was quit good. It is not going to stand alone with star wars, and the like. But if your a YANCY BUTLER fan as I am you will enjoy it I am sure. It a little predictable at times, but then so many more ci/fi movies come into that catagory. I have watched it twice, and would do so again after a while.Hope this was of some help to you. The story is set on a ship carrying passengers without any pappers to travel, there is conflict with the captain, and co pilot. One passnger has escaped from an hospital, after being bread for spare parts for human sugery use.They are all running away from something, when the ship runs into trouble, and the flight is not even in the the log at base.

anyway do not want to tell you all of it, watch it.

While the plot of this story is weak, it is still better than a lot of what is out there today. There are some real personal moments in this movie and some really graphic sci-fi effects. There is tension, suspense and humor wrapped in a nice package with some really great acting. This is a fun film that you will watch over and over.
