IDK, for this movie specifically (as I mentioned earlier) I also thought the aircraft portion was beyond horrible.

I watched the movie with my brother and while we were watching it he made a comment that maybe the version we were watching was the early release/cutting room floor movie where they hadn't finished up the special effects. It was that bad

So I wasted $20 on this turd of a movie this evening. Gerard Butler takes a departure from his normal roles, in that he plays the role of a completely inept cuck that absolutely had to have been a Biden voter. The movie itself is plagued with seriously bad acting, too many flashbacks that add absolutely nothing to the plot, many gaps in time, numerous contrived scenes that are so unrealistic even an idiot can’t look past them, and very few scenes with any actual destruction. Sorry to break it ya fellas: not even an aging Morena Baccarin can save this steaming, shitty attempt at cinema.

In short, this movie sucked complete ass.

Wait for it to be free on TV before considering wasting your time on it.

Some of the aircraft footage was real. Some was not. Although they may have digitally "re-skinned" the plane to make it look more like they wanted. The ground parts with the plane were all real. The interior was all real. At least from what I saw.

I saw this movie a few weeks ago... and then realized I saw it back in 1998: Deep Impact. Which was a better film. Roman Ric Waugh or whatever the director's name is should stick to prison thrillers.
