As I'm attempting to view every film involving air marshals, Robert Schwentke's Flightplan is a necessity. In this case, Peter Sarsgaard.
Basic plot. Jodie Foster's plays a mother, who young daughter disappears on an international flight.
No name on the passenger manifest.
No one has seen her.
And it all takes place within the confines of a huge, non-existent, double-decker aircraft, with abundant searchable space.
Question is...
Do we believe what our eyes have been telling us, or has the mom gone off the deep end?
Basic premise works fine, but the ending, as blocked, shot, and acted, brings the film down. Major suspension of disbelief necessary.
As a disc, it's a good looking affair -- an early Blu-ray BD-50 (Dec 2006), with VC-1 compression. The initial BDs arrived from Sony in late June of 2006. Audio, on this disc, which uses the early "Bring home the ultimate high definition experience" moniker, is standard issue 5.1 uncompressed, which works just fine.
The film was shot S35, and taken through a 2k DI.
