This movie was a chore to sit through. The first half hour was entertaining but the last hour was very tedious and predictable. I think cutting back between the downed aircraft and the rescue teams was a mistake and the movie would have been better served focusing on just one plot. As for the actors, none of them delivered memorable performances. As the leads, Richard Chamberlain and and Catherine Mary Stewart were bland and I found Melanie Mayron's character to be particularly annoying. I will probably not watch this movie again, not when there are better titles like 'Alive' (1993) and 'Flight of the Phoenix' (1965) to choose from.
