To me, this movie is perfection.

I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

A dumb direct to video movie about a shock rock concert on a plane taken over by satanists who want to bring about the end of the world and open the gate to hell.Its really a good film thats completely mindless, but a lot of fun. Hey the actors, Joe Mantegna, Rutger Hauer and others got paid and we get to smile knowingly. I think the key to enjoying the film is just giving yourself over to it and accepting it as the mindless, "I can't believe people are actually dumb enough to make a movie like this" sort of way. It is dumb but if you go with it you may have a good time. To be certain this film probably should not have been released in 2001, but it appearance was purely a coincidence.

This has to be one of the most entertaining movies I have ever seen. My friends and I, hating our lives, decided what better way to lift our spirits than by seeing a shitty movie? I suggested a movie I saw part of on Cinemax, so we rented it.The rest is history.I have never had a night like the night I watched Turbulence 3. It is, by far, one of the worst films I have ever seen, yet I find myself watching it every time it comes on television (which is very, very often - especially if you have those multi-channel Cinemax packages). Seriously, I don't know why, but I probably watch this movie at least every two weeks.And it never fails to bring in the laughs.This movie is highly recommended if you have nothing to and are looking for some seriously fun laughs, a la Mystery Science Theater 3000 (witty banter not included though).My favorite line is when Jack Fletcher, a pilot with an latent speech impediment, says, "Hewwo, Slade? This is Jack Fwetcher, and I'm a pirate." Favorite scene: The FCC.

May contain spoilers.You have to wonder how movies like this are made. I have yet to see the first two movies, I first heard of #3, watched it and now assume there are two previous movies. I haven't heard of the Turbulence series before this one came along, but I can't imagine the first two made much money at all.The hero, Slade Craven is little more than a Marilyn Manson wannabe with one big difference. Slade Craven lacks musical talent, William Hung is more talented than this loser. Plus he says "Let's do the hussle" more than anyone should in their entire life time. If he said "Let's go out there and win one for the Gipper", I'd have more respect for him. Heck they could have cut it down to "Let's do it" and he'd seem more Satanic or whatever.The secondary hero is a I337 h4x0r. Who wears sunglasses indoors, a stupid head rag and dresses like he's stuck in the mid-80's. Yeah, an obvious non-hacker type. If they wanted a real hacker, they would have gotten the guy who was Newman on Seinfeld and would have shown up while he was stuffing his face with Nachos while watching a Dr. Who marathon. He teams up with some girl who's a h4x0r with the government, all though they never quite get what part of the government she works for. She's the stuck up girl with no emotion at all and would look hot if she let down her hair and lost the glasses.So anyway Slade decides to have a concert on an airplane. It will be broadcast on the net so that the other 27 fans of his can watch it too. Just so happens that the hacker girl shows up to arrest hacker guy just as the concert starts to go all wrong. Satanic terrorist (Osama is a pansy compared to these guys) hijack the plane in order to crash it after getting 15 million internet viewers in to a Church in Kansas in order to release Satan. Slade is put away for a while and comes back later in the movie when we find out that Slade ain't behind the whole hijack thing. Eventually Slade and the hacker guy hook up on the phone and the hacker talks him through some rough situations.However, the movie goes way over the top of acceptable cheese level when it comes time to land the plane and the hacker uses Microsoft Flight Simulator to help Slade to land the plane. Yeah, ya know that after hours of playing that game as a teenager, I don't feel fully flight certified yet. I get the feeling the writer stole that bit from MST3K: The Movie. If you've read this far, I'm sure you know how the movie ends. With cheese and over acting all around.Good job Canada, yet another example in why you shouldn't make movies. However, feel good that this movie is better than 2 Fast, 2 Furious and Dinocroc, but not by much.

I saw this gem of a movie on cinemax, or hbo, one of those cable companies. And I have to say, my perception on movies in general was changed....THIS IS THE WORST MOVIE EVER....I was over my friends house, and we played the trailers. We couldn't stop laughing. This is on the ranks with those cable movies like "The Mangler 2" or "Storm Watch/Code Hunter" Turbulence 2 was bad enough with the cheesy synthesizer music. Now you throw in a couple hundred goth people, a crew of satanic idiots, and a hermaphrodite "singer prodigy", oh yeah, and a "leet haxor" and a disgruntled fbi agent. And you get a whole lot of crap. Or Turbulence 3: Heavy Metal. If your looking for a good laugh when your staying over a friends house, or are looking for some fire wood to burn and keep warm, I would say check out this movie. Otherwise, steer clear of it.
