Movie Reviews
An "Outer Limits"-esque claustrophobic thriller with the typical small cast and the usual moral questions of life and death
Dirty-bomb terrorism attacks have forced the US government to retro-fit cold-war era nuclear fallout shelters with suspended animation pods in order to wait out the irradiated atmosphere. Each facility has two maintenance technicians, who wake at periodic intervals to check the atmosphere outside and repair faulty equipment. However, when one of the technician's pods malfunctions, he is forced to venture outside and discovers the world isn't how they believed it to be.
Air is an "Outer Limits"-esque claustrophobic thriller with the typical small cast and the usual moral questions of life and death, and how humans react when pushed to the edge. However, with a notable cast, Air manages to rise above the TV or straight-to-DVD level by way of some decent production values and a script that's not entirely terrible. There's nothing too surprising about the plot twists, but it's a fine example of the genre and like a comfortable old shoe, you won't regret taking a walk in it, even if it's around familiar territory.
