Where do I begin with this movie....it had a lot of potential. I liked the direction it was going with the mother trying to keep her humanity and protect her son / the passengers on the plane while ensuring that the vampirism did not spread. But the characters just kept making stupid decisions after stupid decisions that went against any common sense just to suit the direction that the movie writers wanted the story to go to the point that it became painful to watch.
Firing a gun on a plane...lighting a fire in a car on a plane... shooting a hole in a window on a plane,(granted it was an accident but then it just magically stopped being a problem after losing cabin pressure), purposely shooting yourself up with vampire blood, asking evil vampires to bite you because you're a greedy rich person who doesn't want to die.
Also the random passenger who towards the end of the movie decided to stands up and says he was in the army and knows how to help the group defend themselves, yet at the start of the movie, was absolutely no where to be seen when the terrorists first took over. And the angry husband who's wife is trampled to death and who then managed to grab the gun off the army expert so he can exact revenge... what kind of soldier let's that happen.
Also what sane woman with a baby in her arms would enter a house and follow a massive blood trail down to a basement? Just very lazy story writing to point the story in the direction that the writers wanted it to go without incorporating any common sense, you literally have to watch this movie with your brain completely switched off.
On top of this, it was also ruined with just the stereotypical predictable characters, the rich guy who doesn't care about anyone else who you can predict will screw other people over to save himself, and the psycho idiot who will be drawn to power and who you know will want to become a vampire. And the son... the movie might have been more enjoyable if he had spoken and done way less.
Ignoring the fact that he was able to use a gun when it was probably the first time he had ever picked one up, I couldn't forgive the fact that he hesitates to shoot a terrorist who is about to kill his mother, despite her being a vampire which would make you assume that the son is mentally a lot tougher for his age having seen some messed up things because of her.
Finally, how can you handcuff someone who's missing a hand... The mother and her story was actually a very interesting take on vampires that I had never seen before, but all of the above ruined the story for me, I'd never watch it again.
Dominic Purcell was also wasted in this movie too, I'd have liked to have seen him with a more significant role.
