FLIGHT 29 DOWN: VOLUME 2
Headed for an eco-adventure camping trip, high school students become stranded on a deserted island when their charter plane crashes. They think they won't be there for long, but they are wrong. The kids must learn to get along in order to survive. Adult Juror Comments: This is from the very well done series. It's enjoyable seeing how the kids become stronger through their own decisions. This episode follows the first volume when a group of kids get stranded on an island after a plane crash. It stands alone without the first volume and is entertaining, yet makes you want to watch the next volume. It addresses friendships and survival in a realistic and clean manner. Even when the kids blow their fuses, they do it in a manner no parent could get upset with. There is no inappropriate sexuality or profanity. The kids apologize to each other when they are wrong and represent several different races and both genders. They use their intellect and experience for their own survival such as when they build latrines to ward off illness, scavenge for protein so they won't eat only fruit. It is good, clean fun. Kid Juror Comments: Loved it. "Yes, I love it. It's my kind of movie. I love survival movies. I like all the teen issues and stuff that I can relate to." "My friends would like the funny situations like the stuff you normally would think about such as getting a rash." "The whole point of the movie is to figure out how to work together as a team in order to survive." "I learned how to climb palm tress, how to make a potty hole and how to get food to survive." Favorite part: getting the food and when the guy had a knife and was cutting the raft.
