	Flight of the Phoenix (2004) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		Mindful of the original production which did build a "Phoenix" that could fly, but was structurally unsound and crashed killing stuntman Paul Mantz, the flying scenes were done using a radio controlled model and computer graphics.
		This "Flight" feels awfully predictable and rote, as we plow our way through each of the various survival threats, rescue attempts and internecine personal conflicts that are standard in all such tales of survivors stranded in a hostile environment.
		The main weakness with a film like "Flight of the Phoenix" is that, when the plane goes down, we're stuck in the desert right along with the characters, and if they don't have anything particularly interesting to say to one another, we can feel just as stranded as they.

		The Flight of the Phoenix (REGION 1) (NTSC)
		From the storyline it seems as though "The Flight of the Phoenix" is a suspense-wridden film from begining to end, but this is not true.
		At times it is enjoyable, but the final flight of the rebuilt plane seems as an anti-climax after 130 minutes and the characters melodramatics.

	Flight of the Phoenix Movie Review at Hollywood Video
		The big surprise is that despite dozens of flaws, Flight of the Phoenix is highly entertaining.
		Credit, too, goes to Ribisi, who is hilarious (and deadly serious, which is the only way to play the part) as Elliott, with a high, nasal voice that stays just a shade this side of unbearable.
		Flight of the Phoenix isn't intentionally campy, nor is it a contemporary B-movie, like Anacondas.

		The flight begins well enough, but soon a sandstorm disables the engines, and the plane is forced to crash land in the desert, miles away from any type of civilization, including that precious commodity many of us take for granted being water.
		"Phoenix" gave Jimmy Stewart another great role, later in his career, and with the supporting cast--and a liberal amount of suspense--this nice DVD could appeal to a variety of viewing tastes.
		The surface level (which is the only one most of the comments and reviews address) is a tense "for men only" adventure story about the crash of an old company plane in the desert and the efforts of the survivors to rebuild the plane before their limited supply of water runs out.

	Flight Of The Phoenix (2004)
		Intro: The original “Flight of the Phoenix” wasn't exactly screaming for a remake; it may not have been James Stewart's crowning achievement as an actor, but it remains a gripping tale of courage and survival that has aged remarkably well for a 39-year-old film.
		Picture and Sound: As far as the audio quality goes, “Flight of the Phoenix” sounds easily as good as any disc I've heard lately, taking full advantage of the ever-improving transfer technology.
		Summary: Of course, no one should approach any remake with very high expectations, and this version of “Flight of the Phoenix” is pretty much exactly what I thought it would be.

		The Flight of the Phoenix gets lost somewhere in the middle there, but it's a terrific and underrated action/adventure movie; especially compared to some of today's Summertime blockbuster "thrillers" like Con Air and Armageddon.
		Aldrich managed to attract Jimmy Stewart (as his career was winding down) into the lead role of the airplane captain in this ensemble piece, and the rest of the actors just fell into place.
		It's not as complex and puzzling as Kiss Me Deadly, but The Flight of the Phoenix is very entertaining.
