Diversas confusões acontecem quando o Mayflower 1, o primeiro ônibus espacial de passageiros, ruma para a Lua, pois há um louco detonador a bordo. O primeiro módulo lunar está para se autodestruir, as máquinas não estão funcionando e o pior de tudo: a tripulação descobre que está sem nenhum café.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – Airplane II: The Sequel — Still Ridiculous, Still Rewatchable
Airplane II: The Sequel absolutely coasts on the goodwill of the first film — and honestly, I’m fine with that. It may not truly reach the same comedic altitude, and yes, it’s very much a remix rather than a reinvention, but when you know what you’re signing up for, it still delivers exactly what you want: dumb jokes, familiar rhythms, and just enough fresh nonsense to keep you smiling.
The biggest knock against it is also its defining feature: the Zucker brothers didn’t write this one, and you can feel it. A lot of the humour is recycled — the structure is basically the same story again, just swapped from a commercial airliner to a space shuttle. But the sci-fi setting gives it room to play with new toys, and the affectionate nods to 2001: A Space Odyssey are genuinely funny, especially if you’ve ever found that film more admirable than exciting.
William Shatner is an absolute highlight. His delivery, timing, and sheer Shatner-ness elevate scenes that might otherwise fall flat. Lines like “make them blink in sequence” are exactly the kind of absurd specificity this franchise thrives on. It’s not clever comedy so much as committed comedy — and commitment goes a long way.
Is it as sharp as the original? No.
Is it as iconic? Also no.
Have I watched it an absurd number of times anyway? Absolutely. And I’ll almost certainly watch it an absurd number of times again.
This is comfort comedy. Familiar beats, familiar laughs, and a film that knows you’re not here for innovation — you’re here to have a good time.
🥤 Pairing: A refillable soft drink — familiar, fizzy, and something you keep going back to without really thinking about why.
