“Lost in the Pacific” DVD Cover
On February 7, 2017, Hannover House is releasing the DVD for Lost in the Pacific, a sci-fi actioner starring Brandon Routh (Superman Returns), Zhang Yuqi (CJ7), Russell Wong (Contract to Kill), Bernice Liu (King of Triads) and Mengjie Jiang (Kung Fu Hero).
Director Vincent Zhou (not to be confused with the martial arts star) seems to have an obsession for “flight disaster” movies. Last year, he brought us the similarly-themed Last Flight. Now, he’s back with yet another catastrophic flick titled Lost in the Pacific (its working title was Last Flight II: Lost in the Pacific, which makes perfect sense).
The story takes place in 2020 when a group of international elite passengers embark on an inaugural luxury and transoceanic flight (regarded as “the Titanic in the sky”) that later gets into some serious trouble. Routh plays a high profile yet mysterious chef with military background who soon realizes that some people on the island might be “hijacking the plane”.
Described as “the first Chinese 3D sci-fi adventure film,” Lost in the Pacific has made its debut at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF). Judging from the trailer, it can easily be taken as another “Die Hard on a plane,” considering Routh seems to be kicking some mid-air butt. To better portray his character, Routh revealed that he “did lots of research on culinary arts so hopefully the performance is solid and convincing on screen.”
Lost in the Pacific hits DVD on February 7, 2017. Watch the Trailer below:

Meh, Air Force One already did it, and better.
So it’s a rip off of Under Siege, which was a rip off of Die Hard, but on a plane. And it has garbage video game graphics for the plane scenes. I dunno guys. I’d watch it for a good laugh, but it does not look good at all. I always imagined that an Under Siege 3 would take place on a plane.
Chinese filmmaking at its finest!
