summary
While not a good film per se, Altitude is quite a fresh experience that lives in a world of its own. You've got your stereotypical characters and typical premise, but then the film goes to a place where you least expect it to go. Its dark look and impressive cinematography has a big impact on how the movie is perceived and the mysterious vibe will keep its viewers interested. Altitude suffers from some major flaws, but it is unique and innovative enough to make it worth a watch.
