Storyline

- TriviaThis was filmed at Gatwick Airport in the south terminal while it was closed during the Covid-19 pandemic and some of the security staff were asked to be extras and I was one of them, although didn't make it into the film unfortunately.
- GoofsAs the group are boarding the plane, there is a shot of the exterior of the plane. It clearly has its engine covers on and is not prepared for flight.
- SoundtracksI love you why?

Featured review
One of the oddest films I've ever seen.
A group of people, all with an intense fear of flying, attend a course, and when they finally end up in the air, their flight goes wrong, and they get marooned in Iceland.
It's bizarre, I have no other word to describe this film, it is just utterly weird and zany. I thought it was going to be so much better.
I honestly can't say I disliked it, that wouldn't be fair, but I definitely wouldn't want to sit through it again. Billed as a comedy, but very thin on laughs, but definitely an interesting character study.
It takes some seriously weird turns, the whole Alfonso situation was so bizarre, but did give us the film's funniest sequence. For me, Edward was the most interesting character, sadly his backstory just wasn't developed enough.
One thing it did, was make me want to visit Iceland, it looks sublime.
Timothy Spall stood out, but then he always does.
Quirky, disappointing, but bizarrely watchable.
6/10.
