Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

adonis98-743-186503 A 1920s mail pilot and a rich man's daughter crash-land on a mountain full of hungry wolves. Christopher Reeves will always be Superman to me just like Keaton will always be Batman when we talk about 80's and 90's this movie came 2 years before Superman IV: Quest For Peace and it's about a crash land on a mountain where Reeves and a girl try to escape from a pack of wolves now the film has a nice pacing and the acting is good especially from Reeves other than that the movie does have issues like for example if you see The Grey the 2011 film with Liam Neeson you will see how brutal but also better it was than this not a bad film it just need it more tension and action other than that it was an enjoyable film and definitely not a 5.5 kind of film more like a 7.5 kind of movie.
samuelfields I saw this movie on TV and liked it. As a pilot of some experience I was more interested in the aircraft and flying than rest of the story. The portrayal of early air mail operations is a good one, even to the pilot's notes. Jeppeson charts had not yet been published and each pilot had his own notes, which were shared with other pilots. It's easy to forgive the film makers for using a 1930's Stearman airplane instead of a 1920's DH4. I'm not familiar with the air mail route numbers but CAM 5 (which appears on the side of the plane) might well have been correct for that route. The crash itself was the correct choice: don't stretch the glide and go between the tees to shear off the wings. Aviation movies are almost never this accurate. The only thing about the movie that didn't ring true, aviation wise, was that before leaving Boise, he didn't perform a pre-flight inspection of the aircraft. Not doing this after work had been done on the plane was very serious pilot error. He would have seen the oil leak and avoided the crash.
wlb Few people know that Christopher Reeve was also an aviation enthusiast who had his own Beechcraft Baron. And he transferred that enthusiasm to his screen persona, an ex WW1 pilot who, scarred by an incident, goes on to flying mail planes in the early 1920s.Roseanne Arquette played the spoiled rich girl who becomes his first passenger.They crash land in the Nevada mountains and the rest of the movie concerns their survival and both of their personal transformations. If you'd like to get a good idea about the birth of commercial flying I'd recommend the movie.
Jalea Watching Christopher Reeve play totally against type. After years of playing a mild mannered, hero type, He decides to play the anti-hero. The Reeves and Arquette are an unlikely pairing. At first, her character appears to have no redeeming qualities whatsoever. Reeves does a good job playing the irritated grownup with a spoiled brat.This looks like a good TV movie, made for the small screen. However, the movie has some heart felt moments. And, it is worth watching, if for no other reason, to watch Reeve not play Superman. This is one of Reeve's best "non Superman" performances; if only it could have been in a better picture. But, This movie does have some pretty good moments.
