A career TV director through and through. Though the action is fun it’s because the set pieces are goofy without an ounce of true dramatic heft to it.Īll of this falls on Director James Jameson. One wishes they had spent more of the money on script development if they weren’t leaning on the action set pieces to thrill. Though they’ve thrown all the bells and whistles – big-name actors, splashy VFX, reasonable sets – at it to make it attractive as hell. The film is light on action and heavy on melodrama is no surprise when one learns that this was an ABC movie of the week. Satellite garbage, gold bricks, a dead senator, mid-space rescues by astronauts, Ray Milland as the billionaire shitass that funded it all, and more!!! All Briggs needs is his trusty fly-fishing cap and the love of his lead air stewardess (played by Lauren Hutton no less). Problems that leave them stranded in literal SPACE! Enter the Fall Guy himself, Ace Pilot Captain Cody Briggs (LEE FUCKING MAJORS), who must keep level heads and take charge if the crew and passengers are to make it out alive. The tale end of the subgenre of the disaster film the mid-flight-disaster movie feels like no one watched Airplane II: The Sequel which was released the year before this one or even the original Airplane! never-ever dare tread on this ground.Ī new sub atmosphere jet, that looks oddly like the concord, for its first 90-minute flight from Los Angeles to Australia! Of course, there’s going to be problems. It’s an overwrought, overheated, overarched, over-everything melodrama. This isn’t some tight claustrophobic sci-fi thriller. The thing is that it is forgotten but it’s a cult classic for the wrong reasons. Starflight One with its all-star cast and VFX work by THE John Dykstra appears to be a forgotten cult classic.
