Alien Blob-Like Creatures Feasting on Japanese Airline Passengers
15 July 2017
This film begins with a Japanese passenger airplane on a routine flight over the Pacific Ocean when the pilot suddenly gets instructions to return to Japan because a suicide bomber might be on board. Upon attempting to change course, however, the airliner nearly collides with an alien spaceship which forces the airplane to crash land on what appears to be an isolated island. Unfortunately, the alien spaceship also lands on this same small island and inside it is a malevolent blob-like creature who has no high regard for the human species. Not long afterward it subsequently infests one of the passengers thereby turning him into a type of vampire which then begins to feast on those in the airliner. However, rather than dealing with the fact that someone is trying to kill them one-by-one, the passengers end up pursuing their own individual agendas and start fighting among themselves. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that was a grade-B sci-fi film from start-to-finish which included a rather obvious anti-war message thrown in for good measure. Although some of the special effects were rather good, the acting clearly needed improvement as a more subtle tone would have greatly enhanced an otherwise interesting plot. In short, although it certainly could have been much better, this still wasn't necessarily a bad film by any means and because of that I have rated it accordingly. Average.
