An airplane flight is bombarded by a zombie plague when a woman scientist, asleep inside a cryogenic container in the cargo-hold, is awaken at the movement of harsh turbulence as weather becomes a bit of a problem. Four rogue scientists found a way to possibly bring a dead human being back to life, but there are side-effects..
When the woman scientist goes zombie, an outbreak of terror to the passengers and crew ensues with only a hand-full of people trying to survive the best they can. We also see talking heads in some board room discussing the idea of putting a missile into the plane for fear that it will land in a big city causing a zombie plague of catastrophic proportions.
Aimed directly at the zombie crowd, the flesh-eating ghouls in this film resemble the virus freaks from Boyle's "28 Days Later.." rather than Romero's rotted slow corpses. Lots of gore on display as necks are ripped into, limbs are removed, and bullets riddle zombies with plenty if CGI blood splatter. Lots of fun and some inventive kill-gags such as what a star golfer on board does with his prize club or what one does with an umbrella. One gruesome sequence has a nun, trying to save a person being dragged into a hole in the floor, getting her legs ripped away. One clever gag has a zombie locked into his chair trying to snatch running passengers. A colorful cast of characters, some developed a bit better than others, also lend to the zombie carnage.
