"The flight of the Phoenix" (remake)

Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

While this one is not as good as the original It is a passable entertainment. This time Dennis Quaid is the pilot and the desert is the Gobi and there's a woman in the cast. Otherwise it follows the plot of the oringinal fairly closely. A Hitler-Youth-looking model airplane designner convinces Quaid and crew to build a new plane out of the wrickage after the first one crashes in a gigantic sandstorm.. The DTS surround is particularly effective in these storm sequences and at one point my room was shaking. Worth eatching on a rainy afternoon, implausable but fun.
