Weekly Blog 7

Have you ever been super disappointed with a movie?

I went to see "Unstoppable" on Thursday with a friend. I was so excited to see the film as my favourite actor Liam Neeson stars. Needless to say he was amazing as always, but the movie lacked in certain areas. For example, the fact the whole setting took place on a plane is very limited. They did an okay job at moving to numerous areas in the aircraft but it felt very limited.

A summary of the play is simple, Liam was an air marshal on an international flight. Meanwhile someone on the flight texted him using an air marshal network demanding 150 million dollars in an account, otherwise someone would die every 20 minutes. The account turned out to be Liam's therefore he was being set up.

The whole movie consists of him trying to figure out what passenger is black mailing him. Three passengers were killed prior to the explosion of the person black mailing. It just seemed very dragged out, Liam kept setting his watch and looking at the time decrease all of three times.

In the end a bomb was found, exploded in the back of the plane, they landed it (roughly) with the back end missing, all people survived (except the three killed) and Liam went from being known as a terrorist up in the air due to the set up, to an international hero.

All in all I wish it was better since my hopes were so high to see it.
