Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.

Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Sabah Hensley This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

Leofwine_draca AIR is a generally dull indie two-hander for two popular actors, Norman Reedus of THE WALKING DEAD fame and GLADIATOR star Djimon Hounsou. They play two engineers in a futuristic landscape (glimpsed via some disappointing CGI vistas) where toxic air has killed off most of the population. Their job consists of them doing little more than tending to various instruments, but before long their isolation and claustrophobia sees them falling out. A film like this lives or dies depending on the script, but this one offers little suspense and a whole lot of lazy character-building. Reedus and Hounsou are as good as ever; the rest is a mess.

rallierf1 Even though, the acting was descent and the original premise for the story showed promise in the end it was predictable and rubbish. The only thing that i found interesting was a bet I made with myself: You have two guys, one is a black man and the other resembles Sean Bean a lot. If it was Sean Bean I wouldn't even bother to bet but hey that's someone who looks a lot like him. So who will die first??? It seems that just looking like Sean Bean is enough to get you killed. Other than that you have two guys that are bordering crazy. One doesn't give a f**k but is edgy, and another who does whatever his imaginary wife in his subconscious tells him to do. Yeah it seems that wife doesn't even need to be alive (or awoken in that case) to call the shots.FFS I shouldn't even check the spoiler alert box, it's so cliché and predictable that even 10 year old's would figure it out within a few minutes, couple that with an extremely deflating ending and you have one of the worst sci-fi (really?? Sci-fi???? that's not even sci-fi or thriller or whatever) movie of the decade!

NateWatchesCoolMovies Air is a neat little post apocalyptic thriller full of loneliness, claustrophobia, paranoia and two really great lead performances from Norman Reedus and Djimon Hounsou. The two of them play custodians of sorts, in a cramped underground bunker. The world above is bereft of oxygen, forcing humanity to go into cryogenic hibernation. They exist in solitary down there, simple caretakers surrounded by earth's best and brightest scientists, all in silent slumber, leaving the two of them to go mad in the presence of both each other, and their memories. Reedus is Bauer, the slick loudmouth, a somewhat callous man who cares not for the sleeping scholars, his personality calcified into brittle cynicism by time and tragedy. Hounsou is a bit more soulful as Cartwright, haunted by waking visions of his deceased wife (Sandrine Holt) and morally torn when the big bad decisions of the character arc come his way. He believes what they are doing is important, while Bauer could give a crap. Soon there's trouble, and when they venture to a nearby bunker for spare parts, terrible secrets are uncovered and the shaky bond of trust between them starts to disintegrate. The film relies on its two lead actors who are both solid, especially Reedus, whose intensity ramps up in the third act to an unbearable level as secrets of his past are gradually revealed. It's obviously low budget, and as such the special effects and machinery look like they've wandered in from a Roger Corman movie at times, but it kinda works and gives the atmosphere a 'lived in', organic feel. The plot gets murky and could have done with a bit more simplicity as it trips on itself in attempts to be complex, but it's still character based at its core, and in that regard it succeeds nicely. See it for its two stars, who are given a nice dystopian arena to play in, and tell a story through emotional beats, personal crisis and mounting unease quite well.

orcadiansmeghead Can I say first off, that my wife came into the room when I was about 30 minutes into this and I managed to convince her for 10 minutes that it was the new episode of the Walking Dead - oh how we laughed when she discovered my joke.To save you all from watching this, I can sum the film up for you in a few sentences.The guy who plays Daryl out of off of The Walking Dead takes a break from the series for about 15 minutes, and goes over the road to another studio where someone has set up as a 'delapidated basement plant room' set. Also, the main guy out of off of Amistad and whatever else he's been in does the same.There, they play two scruffy air conditioning engineers who wake up six months out of cryogenic submersion (the Amistad guy managed to get through this without growing any facial hair whatsoever) and the two bicker and argue for 10 minutes before one locks the other out of the facility. Whislt outside, we get to see an alleged post apocalyptic city on the horizon (this 20 second scene was what most of the films budget went into so bear with me and make the most of that mental image if you would) The guy out of off of Amistad then tries to get back inside only to be shot in the chest by Daryl out of off of The Walking Dead but makes a frankly completely implauasble recovery and manages to get rid of poor Daryl.The end.If you want to watch this utter pile of pigs number twos, please go ahead and tell me all the action, necessary dialogue, special effects, plot holes and plot developments I may have missed, but I watched it all the way through without interruption, and wrote this immediately after. That's the film folks. It's been done before with almost identical formats, with other cheapo TV actors who may have also thought it would be a good idea not to bother getting a cut and blowdry for a movie this big as The Walking Dead image is more important.I strongly recommend to anyone reading this who hasn't seen the film but doesn't believe me to go ahead and take the plunge. I guarantee you'll be wanting those 90 minutes of your life back. I know I do.3 out of 10,and THATS being generous. Thanks for calling.
