Up In The Air tells the story of a man in his late forties who has spent most of his time travelling, collecting miles and keeping a safe distance from anything that might weigh him down: including family, friends and love.
George Clooney plays the role and just like most films he's in he instantly embodies the character. The film is well written, well acted and deserves to be seen by two types of movie-goers: those looking for a movie that offers substance and a little something unique, and those who do a bit of traveling themselves.
The film has it's flaws but it's so darn refreshing to see a film that's not typical Hollywood that they are easily overlooked. Don't expect a wham-bam, action packed movie or a laugh out loud slapstick either. It's a thoughtful film that has a lot to say and does a great job of leaving you with something to ponder long after you hit the stop button on your DVD player.
I'm giving this one a 6 out of 10. Let's hit the stats.
Language: The f-bomb is dropped more than once but is used out of frustration or anger and not in a sexual sense.
Sex: Brief nudity and an after sex scene.
Violence: Nada.
Positive Themes: The power of human connections, love, respect, loyalty are just some of the themes here.
Negative Themes: Betrayal and suicide.
