2.0 out of 5 stars Not really SciFi, March 13, 2011
By 
Frances Westerfield (Orlando, Florida United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sky Racket (Amazon Instant Video)
The only sci-fi element is an unexplained device that can shut down airplane motors in mid flight. It's somewhat entertaining from a late 30's, second-feature on a Tuesday night, type of movie. If it was a TV show today, it would be a second-tier dramady on Spike. The "classic sci-fi", "sci-fi", and "fantasy" tags should be removed. The "disaster films" tag should stay even though it doesn't fit the genre. I'm sure you'll know why once you've watched it. Enjoy.
