Flight of the Phoenix

FLIGHT OF THE PHOENIX (2004) - May 29, 2005
An enjoyable film about a group of people who try to rebuild their plane after crashing in the middle of the desert. My main problem with this movie was that there was not a single surprise the entire time -- not because the movie was predictable (though it essentially was), but because the trailer literally gives the entire movie away, right to the final minute. At this point I'm used to trailers giving away a lot more than I'd like, but this was just ridiculous. Aside from that the movie was fine. There was nothing really special about it, but it was well-made and entertaining throughout. ***
