Horizon Line [Movie Review]

Horizon Line [Movie Review] | I watched this one right after I completed watching The Boat. And guess what? My fear of flying heightens when the movie ends. 

I remembered watching the trailer way back in 2019. It seems interesting then, so I gave it a go.

The movie started with Sara leaving Jackson for London without saying goodbye, as she hates goodbye. A few months later, she has to return to the same island where she left Jackson, this time to attend a friend's wedding. 

And there Jackson was, a scuba diving instructor at the island. And apparently, he still hates Sara for leaving him without any goodbye. Sara talks to Jackson as not to feel awkward during the wedding, which lead both of them spending the night together. 

Sara missed the ferry that will bring her to the wedding - an island about an hour's ferry ride from their current island. Not wanting to miss the wedding, she boards a local flight piloted by her old friend, Wyman. And coincidently, Jackson also booked the same flight. 

Jackson is mad at Sara for leaving without goodbye again that morning. Wyman invites Sara to be his co-pilot as he has taught Sara how to pilot a plane before. And suddenly, Wyman has a heart attack and passes away, sending the plane into a free-fall. 

Sara tries her best to manoeuvre the plane to safety. She managed to get assistance via the plane radio but was advised to fly through a storm. Somehow, Sara managed to get the plane through the storm.

Then they realised that the the radio is gone, the compass is damaged and the fuel tank is leaking - most probably damaged by the storm. Jackson climbs out of the plane to patch the fuel line. He succeeds to patch the line but breaks his arm in the process. 

Next, Sara tries to fuel the plane by some back-up fuel by climbing out of the window, and succeeds.

Still losing fuel, they spots a small island and attempts to land the plane on the island. Sara fails in landing the plane safely and the plane crashes into the sea.

Sara manages to escape the plane and returns to save Jackson who was unconscious in the plane underwater. 

As they rests on the island, when the tide touches their feet, they realises that the island is just a sand bar that will submerge as the tide rises. 

Now with only a life-jacket on Jackson, both of them tries their best to keep their hopes up. 

Is their will to survive enough to keep them alive? 

MY REVIEW

Plot: 4.9/ 5.0 Just when you think the situation couldn't gets any worse, the worse happened. Oh my. I was on my toes throughout the movie. And all my reasons for being afraid of flying justifies when watching this movie.

Sara is one tough girl and person - which I don't think I am. I will be the first to die if I was in her shoes. And the plot twists of the movie is sweet - you'll love it!

Cast: 4.8/ 5.0 I don't recognise any of the actors but man, they were committed to their parts. They delivered!

Will I watch it again: No because I don't want to be reminded again why I am afraid of flying. But the movie is really worth the watch.
