It's not just me, it's a whole generation of audience who shows no interest in this latest local chick flick. Now, bear in mind, this is before watching the movie itself. If you wish for a quick review of the film, do comment and share!
Poor Marketing Campaign
Well, as audience, of course we rely on the trailers, interviews and reviews to decide whether or not a movie is theater worthy or to just wait until it's out on TV.
The trailer only highlights the melodrama with no build up to it's theme or premise. It's like they're not even taking their own movie seriously.
Same Shit, Different Day
A more universal fact that most Malaysians can relate to; the genre is still, yet again, a love story. Look, we're not a merciless crowd that wants someone to be sliced in half in every movie. We respond to stories and yet again this flick is promoted to be a melodrama with unnecessary controversial topics. Malaysians are sensitive, yes, but we're just like any other crowds in the world. We respond to stories that have weight in their characters, plot and theme. What's the point of having the premise being in an airport if no aviation topics is mentioned?

A Love Story for who?
Perhaps on a more constructive aspect, the film is based on a novel that was published 1999. Heck, the fact here is not even the year is was published. Every story is usually based on real life events; a period of time, an aspect of life or a perspective. Part of the premise is the life of people who are involved in the aviation industry. Yet, it seems that the initial premise is not taken seriously; ignoring the conflict of the aviation world and forcing the characters to be melodramatic. Not only people are tired of this but, also, they're also smarter. Automatically, people in the aviation industry could have been their primary target. But I'm sure they'll be turned off with the forced melodrama
