Editorial Review:
Description: An action-adventure in which a group of air crash survivors - cast-offs from society who will never be missed - are stranded in the Mongolian desert with no hope of rescue. As they attempt to build a new plane from the wreckage of the old one, in hopes of flying back to civilization, they experience a rebirth of their own.
Amazon.com: As superfluous remakes go, Flight of the Phoenix could've been better, and could've been worse. It's a passable popcorn adventure, especially for those unfamiliar with the 1965 original, which starred James Stewart, made headlines for the crash-landing death of stunt-pilot Paul Mantz, and now stands as a minor classic of its era. This flashy remake stars Dennis Quaid in Stewart's role, adds a woman to the list of plane-crash survivors, and showcases Giovanni Ribisi, who gives a cleverly eccentric performance as the model-airplane designer who proposes to rebuild a crashed cargo plane into a single-engine escape from certain death in the remote Gobi desert. Both films are essentially identical, but this remake is somehow less believable (due to shortcuts in a haphazardly written screenplay) and much more spectacular, owing to the advantage of impressive special effects. Otherwise it's a routine dose of survivalist entertainment from the director of Behind Enemy Lines, never convincing enough to be genuinely compelling, but certainly never boring. --Jeff Shannon

I won't give this one a long review. It doesn't deserve one. It is a rip-off of the great Jimmy Stewart-Hardy Kruger movie of the same name. This film doesn't even start to compare. Worse, in a time of a war against fundamentalist terrorism, this film tries to be politically correct...politically correct, that is, if you are a Hollywood Loonie Tunes.
Rather than the North Africa and torture by Arabic bandits this film is placed in northern Asia and the assault is by a large band ... Read More

Who needs character development when you can have special effects. Besides, character development takes time and requires a little attention span. I suspect the director plays a lot of computer games and is heavily influenced by such great works as Grand Theft Auto.

Hollywood is far from done using the long dead bodies of old movies to recreate them into something original and different yet using the same story as before. The remake fever is upon them! In an effort to draw back movie goers who are flocking from theaters, Hollywood regurgitates movies they hope people will at least remember the title of. It works some times, and other not. This one does.
Dennis Quaid highlights the cast as a rough and ready pilot who works for hire. On a routine ... Read More

This is the WORST remake of any movie I've seen in my life. The original movie had SUPERIOR actors and paid close attention to ALL details pertaining to what life would really be like if this indeed happened. This remake includes wimps,stupidity and a list of ridiculous ideas and total ignorance of what it would be like trapped in a desert in conditions that are beyond most imaginations. I'm going to burn this DVD in my outdoor firepit first chance I get. You really need to see the original to understand ... Read More
