    Odd remake, Giovanni Ribisi character made very little sense compared to the original.

    A group of air crash survivors are stranded in the Mongolian desert with no chance of rescue. Facing a brutal environment, dwindling resources, and an attack by desert smugglers, they realize their only hope is doing the impossible... building a new plane from the wreckage of the...( read more) old one.

    I don't get why people hated this movie. Sure its a remake and the first one was a lot better but in a stand alone view of the film, its actually pretty amazing. You watch this film and you compare it to the first one, that's not the point of this film. This is supposed to be a fresh take on the 1965 film because back then there were no special effects like we have it today. This one wasn't supposed to go against the original, this was like a tribute or a homage to the first one because it was really good back then. The cinematography was above excellent, an amazing shot of the desert smuggler shooting the guy in the brown jumpsuit in slow motion was amazingly well done, it gets me everytime I watch it.

    The storyline was decent. Its not just a story about survival, its a story about hope, unity, faith and redemption.

    20 minutes in and the film is well underway. We get a feel for all the characters, we know where it's going and we know some of these characters are expendable. Quaid is easily watchable and a good lead but it's Ribisi who steals the show, he is the only one of any real note givi...( read more)ng an actual performance as well as his character being slightly more complex and even a tad sinister. Otto unfortunately is included just so there's a woman about. It's an afternoon film where you needn't put much effort in.

    Took and interesting idea from a good film and ruined it. Watch the Jimmy Stewart original.

    Absolutamente absurdo. Unos tipos construyendo un avion de la nada en pleno desierto. Solo en las peliculas sucede eso... y en Madagascar 2!

    This was a very good remake of the original. However, the original with Jimmy Stewart in my opinion was just a little bit better.
