Final Descent isn't an original flick.-But first and foremost a solid movie, without all the usual mistakes we're all so sick and tired of! The acting is solid. The plot and script works. The technical aspects seem credible. The outside-shots of the airplane are good. and the special effects are actually flawless. -On top of which Robert Ürich delivers a fine performance as usual. All in all:-A good version of an old idea. You won't be disappointed. I give it 4/6!
Plot summary
An airliner collides with a light plane just after takeoff, causing its elevators to jam in the full climb position. It will crash as soon as the fuel runs out, unless some desperate measure succeeds in bringing the nose down.

Don't trust the vote-You could do a lot worse!
Predictable but watchable film.
I like Robert Ulrich a lot so that may influence my opinion. I expected to be bored but was not. The acting was good. There's always a temptation to go over the top in these types of films but it didn't happen here. The snippets of the passengers were blessedly short and the emphasis stayed on trying to save the plane. The technical stuff was believable.
Wooo!
This is one of that strange breed of films - the cliche ridden, made for TV that also happens to be fantastically entertaining!
No scenes of tedious plot exposition and no dead-weight back story dragging it down, just a damn fine airplane disaster flick with genuine excitement and a likeable cast.
Good work fellas!
