Brandon Routh stars in futuristic sci-fi thriller
26 July 2016
Brandon Routh stars in this futuristic action thriller along side Russell Wong and other A list Actors from Hollywood and China. The film is set mostly on the new and futuristic state of the art A390 plane. Russell Wong plays the CEO of Ocean Airlines who not only wants to break the record for fastest travel time but also impress his V.I.P passengers with all of the luxuries that the plane has to offer and try to bid Prince Khadsa into merging the two companies, while all the V.I.P passengers are enjoying their time on the luxury plane, we do get some emotional tension that is played out between Gao (Wong) and his estranged son Colin (Sunny Wang)who haven't seen each other for over 5 years as well as Ruoxin (Yuqi Zhang) who while being promoted to co-pilot is still battling her former position within the company.

Brandon Routh comes in as a surprise of main character as he isn't very visible for the first 30-40 minutes of the film. I was expecting this to be futuristic drama thriller as Gary re-connects with his son, and Ruoxin finds the courage to stand up for herself and find her path. But then the twists and turns of the film start to take their shape, as the plane flies through an electric storm, the plane gets hit and they must land it on abandoned island. As the plane struggles to take off while some of the passengers and crew are being chased by mutated felines as well as rescuing the remaining survivors of some military group. On board we found the origins of Brandon Routh's character and clearly see why he was Superman in Superman Returns 2006. He can be a total bad ass! Routh doesn't hold back any punches in the Lost in the Pacific. Also I do have to point out that the score of the film was totally awesome too! This might not be the contender for film of the year, but it is certainly worth a look.
