Much of "Flight That Disappeared" comes across as a typical episode of "The Twilight Zone" -- that is, rather intriguing with the promise of a twist ending. But then it descends into preachy, can't-we-all-just-get-along drivel that has been done much better countless times before. The airliner's interior set is quite convincing, and it is interesting to see what air travel was like in the olden days, prior to jetliners and TSA. Unfortunately, the script and acting are both barely passable, and the film reeks of low budget woes and a quickie turnaround to meet the deadline for release.
Case in point is an embarrassingly egregious flub that eluded the producer's or director's eye. Around the 30:48 point, carefully watch the dark-haired female extra (passenger) in the foreground. Supposedly asleep with the others, instead she tries to stifle a smile, opens her eyes, and patiently waits for the camera to dolly past her to the scene's main action. My advice: watch the first half of "Flight That Disappeared" for a promising sci-fi premise, but then abandon it before your profound disappointment spoils the entire experience.
