DVD: Flightplan

Flightplan, starring Jodie Foster. While I was watching Flight plan this film reminded me of an old Hitchcock thriller.

The film Flightplan is about a mom, Kyle Pratt (Jodie Foster) who is flying from Berlin to America on a new double deck jumbo Jet with her young daughter played by Marlene Lawston who is new to the big screen. While 40,000 feet up in the air something as happened Kyle as lost her daughter, and the flight crew as no recognition of the daughter ever been on board.

With so many twists and turns this film takes you through you would will think your on a roller-coaster. I always love a film that really make you think and then second guess your self, which this film does nicely. Which makes this a great film that puts you on the edge of your seats trying to figure out what has been going on through the sort, sort of catching up on the facts you know and trying to put the puzzle together.

What is a great plus for this film is the remarkable cast it as come great talent of actors ranging from Sean Bean who as been in the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. Peter Sarsgaard who I thought did an amazing job on his role in Shattered Glass, their is also Erika Christensen, Kate Beahan. That right their shows that this film is packed with incredible talent. The one who i thought did the best in Flightplan I must say it had to have been Peter Sarsgaard he played Carson who was a air marshal who is just trying to calm Jodie Foster's character and stop scaring tall the passengers, and of course Sean Bean and Jodie Foster gives great performance.

The feel of the film is really gives a great sense of claustrophobia which really makes the suspense feel real as clues show themselves. Plus you can't make it feel larger than it is because of the whole movie is base in a plane so its very limited to what you can do. Which leads to the plane, the sets were amazingly done everything in the film looks real and authentic which can give a good vibe to the film.

Overall this film has a great deal of suspense that we rarely see in the theaters these days in the world of cinema. With all the twists and turns you will really enjoy this film and feel like your a part of the story as you watch it. So I recommend this film that you should See.

• "Cabin Pressure: Designing the Aalto E-474" featurette.

The DVD aspect of the film, Flightplan was some what good. Its nothing that should make you go out and buy the DVD right away. In the DVD there is several section to the Making Of featurette, from Pre-Production all the way to Post Production with the Special Effects. Each one is about five minutes long. The Designing feature to me was really interesting. I liked how for the film they went to the roots of the great special effects of film making, miniatures. That to me was the best part of the DVD.

Overall the DVD aspect isn't anything like I said to go out and buy for. That's the negative about thriller and suspense film on DVD that once you watch it once its really not fun on any of the other times after the first showing, so the real thing that your buying on DVD is one showing of the film, and about four different types of features. So if you to you how you interpret the film, but for me i have to say that this DVD is only a rent.
