Very well done, engaging film

Rating: 8/10 (13 July 2017)

Up in the Air (2009) is a film that really does engage its audience. The acting from George Clooney, Vera Farmiga, and Anna Kendrick is all great, they all deserved their academy award nominations. This film revolves around George Clooney's character and his journey through a time of change in his life. Farmiga plays a woman that Clooney sees occasionally in between flights, they usually talk some and have sex, they establish a fairly casual relationship, no real commitments. And Anna Kendrick plays a just out of college newbie that Clooney is showing the ropes to. I was very impressed with how well these talented actors commanded the screen and how they had good chemistry too. I cannot reveal very much more about the plot without giving away spoilers and I don't wanna do that. I'll just say that this film doesn't turn out to be conventional or predictable in any way shape or form. The script is written in a very attention grabbing and intelligent way. You will not be bored at any point while watching this film. The top notch acting, engaging writing and interesting storyline is all too much combined for ones attention to wander. I vigorously encourage everyone to see this film. 8/10 for Up in the Air.
