A Lot Better Than I Expected!
This was a surprise to me, it was a lot better than I expected! I was afraid it was going to be another one of those movies where it ends up that everyone is dead and they're in hell, limbo or something, but it wasn't, it was pretty good!Of course some people will put it down because its not gory and people aren't dying left and right the whole time! But it kind has a mystery about it, which was fun in itself!I think its worth watching for sure! And though it didn't have people that most would know it was well acted for the most part!I gave it 5 stars because for a B type movie it was entertaining! So the 5 stars are for being better than most B movies! Obviously if it was going up against a A movie it wouldn't get 5 stars, probably more like 3 or maybe 4!

Not More Than A One Star Movie (Spoilers)
I dont know how it got past one star but there were so many things wrong about this movie...Where do i begin??? Well, Lets start with the writing because that's is the starting point to a story. First, I dont think this writer did any research on flights and how a flight crew works. 2nd, I'm guessing this was a DC-10 however, I felt like I was in a lear jet with only 2 stewardess?? If a passenger becomes violent on a flight, the captain makes an emergency landing especially if someone is puking. The stewardess did not seem trained to be on a flight, neither did the co-pilot. The casting was really bad. The Flight Marshall seemed panicky yet he is supposed to be trained to handle. events like that. The plane loses power and plummets 1000's of feet...When the captains gains power...no emergency landing???? LOL Bad bad bad! The movie started right off with the plane flying in a storm...they should have eased into it. ON a plane, it's impossible to hear thunder. On a plane during a storm like that...The flight crew does not serve food or drink....Wow! I couldn't watch anymore! The movie doesn't even deserve a one star in my opinion....It wasnt even entertaining to watch....It was boring..

Frequent Fliers, Beware!
This turned out to be an interesting story, about a few 'lady ghosts' out to get their revenge. The first half of the film is on the quiet side, just getting to know the passengers a little... but in the last half hour or so the real story comes out, and boy did it raise a few hairs on the back of my neck. Finding out about the pilot was genuinely frightening; I sat there bug-eyed, with a hand over my mouth as he 'talked to the ghosts' at the end. That was a totally-creep-me-out scene. Although this kind of storyline is very unlikely to play out in real life (my understanding is that ghosts who haunt prefer to stay somewhere familiar to them, rooted on the Earth), it nevertheless made interesting watching, and the characters were believable and genuine (no overdramatizing, or overblown drama scenes). I also want to congratulate all the actors in this, for obviously keeping up with their dental appointments: everybody had great teeth! Lastly, it got me to thinking: are criminal background checks performed on aircraft pilots prior to offering them employment? I don't know, but I will say this: after watching this flick I sure as heck hope so!

Looking for adrenaline rush? a good weekend horror flick.
Some of the bad reviews that people have left here are the same people who give good reviews to bad movies on rotten tomatoes. When I am watching a movie I don't expect it to be realistic as many bad reviewers tend to incline to get from a movie. This was a thrilling a ride on the plane with a bit crazy superstition side. As long as it keeps my adrenaline running, I give 5 star to a movie. Any horror movie fan should like this movie. Effects were little bit off at times but a fun movie to watch. Very satisfying at the end.

Starts Out Great, But Quickly Falters.
FLIGHT 666 (2018) starts out like gangbusters, but quickly degenerates into something all too common. Once you learn this film is from The Asylum, that should tell you all you need to know. A flight to New York is surrounded by a storm that doesn't seem to have a beginning or an end, it seems to be following the plane, trapping it inside. Passengers aboard the plane begin to become possessed by female spirits, one missing an eye and another carrying a crying decomposed baby. These women are trying to tell the passengers something important, something that an air marshal on the plane, Austin (Paul Logan), is determined to discover. After searching the cargo hold of the plane, they find evidence that someone on board the plane is a serial killer, someone who travels from city to city killing women just because they love killing. When the serial killer turns out to be the plane's pilot, Captain Jack Hanstock (Joseph M. Harris), the passengers must find a way, with the help of the female spirits on board, to punish the pilot and still land the plane safely. It won't be easy, because the female spirits are only interested in revenge, putting everyone's lives in extreme danger. While there are some very good jump scares in this film, the basic plot falls apart faster than a swimsuit made of paper and quickly becomes a barrage of lousy CGI effects, something The Asylum is well known for. Even the plane's crash landing is awful, a mixture of crappy CGI and some forced perspective cinematography. Director Rob Pallatina, who is usually an editor on some of The Asylum's "mockumentaries", including BIGFOOT (2012) and ISLE OF THE DEAD (2016) starts off with a sure hand, but he can't sustain it with the screenplay's scene-after-scene of deja vu and pat situations. I had high hopes in the beginning, but it quickly turned into "watching the clock for the film to end." Too bad. This could have been something with a completed script. All it is now is a waste of your time. Available streaming on Amazon Prime for all you masochists out there. I have to watch this stuff, but you don't!

Zu Recht im Heavy Metal Olymp
Mein allererstes Konzert überhaupt erlebte ich 1984. Iron Maiden auf Ihrer World Slavery Tour. Die Jungs hatten mich live absolut überzeugt und ich hielt sie damals für das Maß aller Dinge. Und meiner Meinung nach sind sie das auch im neuen Jahrtausend noch, sogar noch besser als damals.Ich habe mich immer gefragt was wohl den unglaublichen Erfolg dieser Truppe ausmacht. Nach dem Genuss von FLIGHT 666 ist es mir wieder klar geworden: Hier sind 6 Musiker am Werk die zu den besten ihres Fachs zählen, absolute Experten und Live einfach unschlagbar.Allen voran der beeindruckende, nimmermüde Bruce Dickinson, der wieder einmal beweist warum er von vielen als bester Heavy Metal Frontman überhaupt gehandelt wird. Was bringt der Typ für eine Energie auf die Bühne, steht keine Sekunde still, rennt und springt über die Bühne wie ein Derwisch, singt und schreit sich dabei die Seele aus dem Leib. Er versteht es das Publikum anzuheizen bis es völlig ausrastet, wie kaum ein zweiter.Aber auch der Rest der Truppe zeigt sich in ungeheurer Spiellaune. Man sieht und hört es den Jungs einfach an: Sie hatten trotz allem Tourstress unglaublichen Spaß. Steve Harris` pumpender Bass, die megagenialen Riffs und Solis der drei Gitarristen sowie der gut gelaunte Nickt McBrain an den Drums...alles wirkt wie aus einem Guss, es passt einfach alles zusammen. Kaum eine Band bringt solch eine energiegeladene Live Performance auf die Bühne. "Age is just a number"!Da stört es auch nicht, das die einzelnen Stücke aus jeweils unterschiedlichen Konzerten zusammengestellt wurden. Wo wir bereits beim nächsten Punkt des Schwärmens angelangt wären: Die Setlist. 16 Hammersongs, alles Mitschnitte der "Somewhere Back In Time Tour" vom Februar - März 2008. Es wird ein nahezu perfekter Querschnitt der Glanzzeit aus den 80ern präsentiert. Ein Kracher jagd den Nächsten. Besser geht das kaum.Natürlich kann man immer über die Songauswahl diskutieren. Ich persönlich hätte auf "Can I Play with Madness" verzichtet und das beeindruckendere "The Evil That Men Do" reingenommen, doch das ist jetzt Jammern auf höchstem Niveau. Sollte ich jedoch einen negativen Punkt hervorheben, dann wäre das vielleicht die theatralische Poserei des Janick Gers, das ist oft zu viel des Guten und könnte dem geneigten Zuschauer doch hin und wieder etwas auf die Nerven gehen. Muss man nicht unbedingt mögen, tut dem Genuss für Auge und Ohr jedoch keinen Abbruch.Die Bluray bietet ein perfektes Bild wie man es heutzutage eben erwarten kann und der wuchtige Sound der aus den Boxen schallt macht absolut Freude und wird garantiert jeden Nachbarn am Einschlafen hindern. Die Doku bietet Einblicke ins Tour Leben und lässt uns erahnen welch unglaubliche Logistik hinter solch einem Mammut Projekt steckt. Das Ganze ist nicht sehr tiefgründig und teilweise eher oberflächlich, aber ich erwarte von einer Musikdoku auch kein entlarvendes Psychogramm welches traumatische Kindheitserlebnisse der Musiker oder Ähnliches ans Tageslicht bringt. Sie soll unterhalten und das tut sie voll und ganz.Fazit:FLIGHT 666 ist für mich eine absolut gelungene Bluray die die Messlatte sehr, sehr hoch legt. sie bietet eine unterhaltsame Doku über meine Lieblingsband die mich jetzt bereits 36 Jahre musikalisch begleitet, und ein Live Mitschnitt der beweist, dass Iron Maiden zu den besten Bands des Planeten gehören. Lebende Legenden schon längst im Heavy Metal Olymp angekommen. Für Fans absolute Pflicht und für diejenigen die Iron Maiden noch nicht kennen (gibt es da überhaupt noch jemanden?), die perfekte Gelegenheit sich in den Bann der 6 Briten ziehen zu lassen.Up the Irons !!!

Espectacular documento.
Genial. Parece que los años sí han pasado, claro está, pero qué bien les ha venido. Parecen mejores que antes y como siempre, innovando. El documental es el material principal, el concierto repartido en muchas de las diferentes ciudades en las que tocaron es lo secundario. Pero ambos son espectaculares. Sin desperdicio.

Film/Documentario coinvolgente!
Da fan degli Iron Maiden e amante del genere metal, non potevo non aggiungere questo DVD alla mia collezione. “Iron Maiden Flight 666” è un film/documentario della durata di circa 2 ore, che segue gli Iron Maiden durante il loro tour mondiale del 2008, che li ha portati in 23 città in tutto il mondo a bordo del loro aereo privato, chiamato "Ed Force One".Il documentario è ben fatto, le riprese dal vivo sul palco sono davvero coinvolgenti e riescono a catturare tutta l’energia e la bravura della band nonostante non siano più dei ragazzini. Il documentario include anche diverse interviste ai membri della band e offre delle scene coinvolgenti girate dietro le quinte del tour.Curiosità:L’aereo “Ed Force One” è stato pilotato Bruce Dickinson, cantate della band.Conclusioni:Se siete amanti della musica metal e fan degli Iron Maiden, questo film/documentario è assolutamente da guardare. Il montaggio del documentario è ben curato e il suono è eccezionale, vi consiglio di alzare il volume! :-) Il voto alla mia recensione è 5 stelle su 5. Buono il rapporto qualità/prezzo.

Flight 666.... Fasten your seatbelt
Arrived quick and well packaged. The (fan) recipient loved it and I (non-fan) enjoyed the documentary too as the band are reasonably good humoured and down to Earth - bar a few eccentricities and some dodgy stage outfit choices. The big surprise is how "normal" the lead singer is; no supersized ego as he's a qualified pilot and (justifiably) takes it seriously (since he'd got the whole band, support crew and equipment on board with their lives in his hands!!!!). On the whole thumbs up and very watchable with a good mix of performance and behind the scenes logistics.
