Oh, wow! This movies is so awful that it quickly stopped being ridiculously stupid and funny, and just returned to being awful again.
Just one over-worn "disaster movie" event after another, which frankly doesn't make sense in so many places in the first place.
Just for a few highlights:
What on earth is this blinking light doing in the cockpit that's controlling everything and wants to kill the captain and injure the first officer, change the flight plan and eventually try to kill everybody?
Is it H.A.L. Jr., the son of H.A.L. that went amok in the classic "2001--A Space Odyssey" movie from the 1960s? At least this H.A.L. Jr. didn't say, "I'm sorry Dave. You can't do that." after killing all the rest, as his dad did with the crew on the "2001" spaceship.
Only after "H.A.L. Jr." drops the plane to 10,000 feet does it decide to turn off the oxygen and everybody begins to pass out. Well, pressurized aircraft don't pump oxygen into the cabin in the first place. It's outside air that goes through a pressurization process, even at 35,000 or more feet.
And at 10,000 feet, you don't need a pressurized cabin. They could open a window in the cockpit. Even back in the 1930s, the first DC-3 could fly over the Rockies, during a test, on one engine at a higher altitude than 10,000 feet, and it wasn't a pressurized aircraft.
For that matter, passengers who went to the bathroom and lifted the lid to the toilet on a DC-3 got a straight-down view of the ground.
And it just goes on and on. The SR-71 "Blackbird" that transferred the guy to the Boeing 747 was designed to operate at several times the speed of sound, not the speed of a 747.
The 747 aircraft itself, in flight, was stock footage from Boeing.
And, when the gal finally landed the plane, she didn't lower the flaps until the wheels almost touched. Huh? And the guy in the tower forgot to tell her how to reverse thrust, increase RPM and apply the wheel breaks to bring the aircraft to a stop.
UGH! And they all lived happily ever after.
