This is only notable now as being a great 3D success story. The story begins with perky stewadesses and swaggering pilots, but the locale soon moves to tawdry bedrooms. The acting is as low-wattage as the lighting, as the cast wade through a series of unrelated softcore sex scenes. It ends with a murder-suicide! The frequent 3D gimmicks of things thrusting towards the camera are lost with the 2D version but not too distracting. Essentially, this is a dull affair, a;lthough the girls are easy on the eye, it fails to exploit the attraction of the uniforms that it promises.
