The log line is very intriguing:
A secret agent boards a B17 bomber with orders to deliver its secret cargo while flying through enemy territory in the Pacific.
But the actual premise is a call to a classic Twilight Zone episode in which a monster (seen only by the protagonist) tears apart an airplane piece by piece while the crew is blissfully oblivious of its existence.
All that is good enough and makes for an interesting first half of the movie. With most of the time spent watching Chloe Grace Moretz stuck in a ball turret hanging from the belly of the aircraft, bantering with the crew.
In the second half of the movie however, everything falls apart. There is no more intrigue or tension. The movie becomes a strange mix of horror, thriller, war action, and family drama (yes, yes!). With no clear direction, other than placing the protagonist into progressively absurd scenarios.

Nightmare at 10.000 feet!
Rampant feminist gobbledegook
Quite possibly in the so bad it's good category (see Room, Showgirls, etc) Some scenes were quite tense but so many had me watching with my mouth agape ( blown back in the plane? Gremlin punch up? Baby in a box? Crawling on the underside of the plane?, etc.) Thankfully a short offering, I will note the director and screenwriter's names...... and NEVER watch anything by them ever again.
really dumb... but i didn't hate watching it
There are so many things wrong with this movie. I rolled my eyes many times. Some parts were so dumb that i had to pause the movie in order to process what happened. The entire premise is ridiculous, and so many things that happen are absurd. Whoever made this doesn't understand the most basic laws of physics. And they overdid it with the message
having said all that, i was never bored. In fact, i was invested. And there is one, let's call it, subplot. That subplot doesn't seem to fit in this movie at all. And yet it was the most stupidly entertaining aspect of the movie. (1 viewing, 6/7/2021)
