FULL STORY
======================================================================

Gerard Butler's action movie Plane is heading for orbit: after just one week, 
it has racked up 6.3 million views, making it the second most popular movie 
on Netflix in the US and setting a course for #1 in the global charts (it's 
currently sitting at number three for the week ending June 15). 

It's averaging a decent four out of five stars among the critics, but it's 
playing particularly well with viewers: at the time of writing it's got a 
very impressive 94% on Rotten Tomatoes from the streaming public, making it 
one of the best Netflix movies . 

Butler is Brodie Torrance, a pilot forced to make a risky landing on a 
war-torn island only to discover that surviving the landing was only the 
beginning. When rebels take his passengers hostage, Torrance and the accused 
murderer his plane was transporting have to team up and fight back. What are 
the critics saying about Plane? 

 Plane is rather old-school, it's strongly reminiscent of the big-name action 
movies of the 80's  and that's no bad thing, especially with Butler in the 
pilot's seat. As Loud and Clear Reviews put it, " Plane makes it clear that 
it isnt reaching for new heights but it doesnt wing it either". 

Don't judge the movie on its trailer, says WCSH : it's better than that, 
calling it "a decent popcorn thriller". And The Screen says that " Plane is a 
straightforward movie with very few twists to offer, but the trick to making 
it engaging lies in its execution". 

"Nobodys going to declare Plane a classic," says Decider , "but between 
[director Jean-Francois] Richets visual acumen and Butler doing admirable 
diligence to a character whos in over his head... its an enjoyable, 
fast-paced and surprisingly engaging diversion." 

But perhaps Zack Pope is the most representative of the streaming audience's 
views: as he writes, "Butler + Plane = Awesome". 

 Plane is streaming now on Netflix. You may also like Netflixs first Korean
