Plot
In 2000, Alex saves his school friends from death when he gets a premonition that their plane will crash. Unfortunately, they all begin to die one after another in horrifying ways.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) While the premise is really original, it's sadly ruined with horrible execution, making it come off as another generic teen horror flick.
 * 2) Almost none of the death scenes are too scary at all. Most are increasingly outlandish and rather laughable. An example would be Terry's death. It's just her being hit by a bus. Simple as that.
 * 3) Mediocre acting, especially from Ali Larter as Clear Rivers.
 * 4) Some of the characters are mean-spirited, and example would be Carter Horton, he is a mean-spirited, generic, and a very unlikable character in this film. He bullied Billy Hitchcock at the Airport and being a jerk to the other characters in the film.
 * 5) It's very highly predictable. Usually, you already know which character's going to die right before they even meet their untimely death.
 * 6) The whole movie lacks suspense for the most part. It doesn't have any buildup or anything.
 * 7) Plot holes: When the train crashed into Carter's car, the train didn't stop, instead the train just keep on going on its journey after it crashed.
 * 8) * There's also another plot hole. When the plane exploded, how did the shockwave manage to make the windows break?
 * 9) There are a few flaws that the creators didn't do any research about anything.
 * 10) *The bus didn't honk at Terry when she was on the road, when it should have done so.
 * 11) *The Railroad Crossing Scene had one mess of flaws.
 * 12) **When a Freight Train was about 50-40 seconds from smashing into Carter's car, (which was still stalled) his car's seat belts somehow broke.
 * 13) The dialogue is absolutely very dreadful to listen to, especially in the scene where William Bludworth talks to Alex and Clear at the funeral home where Todd's body is at.
 * 14) The story didn't even explain how Alex, Carter, and Clear went to Paris, France, if Alex had a premonition on Volee Airlines at the beginning of the film.
 * 15) The deaths are too over the top and ridiculous. They get worse in the sequels that follow.

Good Qualities

 * 1) Alex Browning, William Bludworth, and the other characters are likable. Plus, Devon Sawa's performance as Alex Browning is pretty good as well as Tony Todd's.
 * 2) Pretty good soundtrack.
 * 3) The idea for an explosion of an airline is decent.
 * 4) Some pretty good kills like Terry's and Billy's.
