3/5 Enjoyable film, but some holes in the plot...
  by Baberufus (West Jordan, UT USA)
I like the actors in this film, and it has a cool vibe, plus an interesting story. But as mentioned in earlier reviews, the plot is derivative--I won't say from which film. Also, this rather derivative plot has holes. Why don't the passengers remember each other from the flight? If they can remember an explosion, they should remember who was around them. Also, (SEMI-SPOILER ALERT) how is Anne Hathaway's character's boss suddenly someone from her past that she didn't recognize before? It doesn't add up (END SEMI-SPOILER ALERT).

So a couple of GLARING, OBVIOUS plot defects there. Whoops. Am I missing something? Anyway, a rather enjoyable flick nonetheless. Makes you think...

Why is it that young, good looking single people are always available in the movies, never having married or even ever serious with anyone (until they hook up with their costar's character, of course). In real life, you know Hathaway's character would be some big Bertha who's always ready for some "one on one house calls" with any bachelor..."Give me a call, big boy!" Yeesh! :-)

4/5 Good film in the vein of M Night Shymalan
  by Rick H (NC)
This film is quite slow-moving for the first half or so, but it's worth your time if you stick with it 'til the end. If you're a fan of M. Night Shymalan's better work, and maybe a little Rod Serling influence as well, you should enjoy this. My true rating would be 3.5 but I rounded up to 4 stars. Not as bad as some reviews here would have you believe.

2/5 Ripoff-y, not very original or good
  by a. (Upstate, NY)
It's a ripoff-y tearjerker with bad acting by Anne Hathaway and Dianne Wiest, tho the other actors did well with a limited script. It's not at all what it seems at first, a conspiracy theory movie -- not that that would have been an improvement, it's just that this particular paranormal theme is done, and it has the same ending twist *******************SPOILER AHEAD **************************** as the Sixth Sense, without the better acting that makes that movie watchable. Hathaway here plays an annoying character, yes, but also plays her badly, imo, making it doubly hard to watch. I know the ending was supposed to be heartwarming, but it just didn't convince me.

4/5 Very Solid, Paranormally Oriented Movie
  by carol irvin (United States)
If you liked SIXTH SENSE, you should like this film. Although it doesn't have quite the dramatic punch of that film, it certainly has punch enough over the course of it. The plot line is that there is a plane crash. There are only a handful of survivors and psychologist Anne Hathaway is called in to do group therapy with that small group. However, strange things begin to happen to the survivors and Hathaway becomes very suspicious. She is sure that the airline is trying to conceal some pertinent facts from her and everyone else. She delves further into this while getting closer and closer to one of the male patients in her small group. Anne Hathaway is a very lovely and talented actress.

3/5 a la The Others but without the intrigue
  by AIROLF (USA)
This is a thriller that is supposed to have twists ad turns and keep the viewer guessing, but in the first 45 minutes of the movie I just couldn't bring myself to care about the characters. The only reason I kept watching the film is because I have tremendous respect for the leads - Anne Hathaway and Patrick Wilson. I didn't particularly care for Hathaway's character's fate, but after the first set up of the movie, I realized the feel of the film that was very reminiscent of The Others. What intrigued me the most about this movie, however, was the idea of purgatory and how one must come into terms with their own mortality and death.
