Flight of the Phoenix

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

A suspense filled, character driven drama set in the desert where a plane has crashed and the survivors must built a new plane from the crashed plane's parts.

Interesting concept, the only problem is that there is no suspense, and the characters are paper thin. The movie is really, really light on action too.

Poor writing. Poor dialogue. Convenient plot devices. No attention to detail. Really bad science. Boring.

1 out of 10.

*Minor spoiler follows*
If anyone else has seen this film, why did they make two graves after the crash? I saw the doctor die, but who else died? I watched the crash scene twice and never saw anyone else die. Oh, and if you read this and think knowing the doctor dies ruins something for you, don't worry. He's never even introduced as a character until after he's dead.
