I love Christmas movies and I'm always on the lookout for new ones. Every year I watch a whole bunch of them during the Christmas season and often they might be set around the season but they don't do too much with it. Turbulence does a lot with its Christmas theme as the plane is fully decorated, characters talk about Christmas, and Ray Liotta sings a song from It's A Wonderful Life. Ray is the absolute star of this movie and unleashes his acting abilities to the full extent, Nic Cage style. He completely steals the show and makes this movie as watchable as it is. On top of that, I was very surprised by how genuinely tense it was and that there were some decently filmed, very atmospheric scenes. All the special effects are terrible, even by 1997 standards but they add to the charm of the movie and give a few laugh out loud moments. I love 80s and 90s ridiculousness and I would've likely given Turbulence 6 stars but the Christmas setting gets that one extra star from me. It's not a good movie by any means but it's very entertaining and underrated and is a good movie to watch to get yourself in the mood for Christmas.
