Dubai: Through My Eye Where the East meets the West
Mark Fetters Guest Reporter It’s a Friday morning and I am eager to be done with classes. Not because it’s Friday, but because it is my birthday! I turn 21! Now, most people want to go out and party, or think of going to Vegas. I, on the other hand, am heading half way around the world. As soon as classes are over, my flight block is done, and work is over, I am off to the airport just across the street for a 5:50p.m. flight to Atlanta on Delta. After arriving in Atlanta, the wait is on for my next flight at 10:50p.m. I am flying on Delta 8 to Dubai, United Arab Emirates in Asia. Yes, I am going to Asia for the weekend. Yes, I will be back in time for class on Monday. No, I am not crazy. Near the end of boarding, I get my seat assignment, 32D, first row of economy comfort. Just after 11p.m. the roar of the GE90 jet engines on Delta’s 777-200LR come to life, and a minute later we are air born. First order of business is dinner. It is not the greatest meal, but

it fills the gap. After dinner and a movie, it is time for some sleep, or at least an attempt at sleep. About half way though the flight, a light snack is served, which is a small sandwich and a banana. Just before landing, another dinner is served. After almost 15 hours in the air, we touchdown around 9p.m. local time. Clearing customs takes around an hour, and we are off to our hotel for the night. The next morning we head to The Dubai Mall, the largest in the world by total area. With nearly 60 million visitors a year, it takes the title of the most visited mall in the world. Besides shop-
ping, you could also watch a hockey game or ice skate on a full size NHL ice rink. If skating is not your thing, you could go to the aquarium and watch fish and sharks swim around. And, if you are daring enough, you can swim with them. Just outside the mall sits the world’s tallest building, the Burj Khalifa. It stands at over 2,400 feet tall, twice as tall as the Empire State Building in New York City. It is really an amazing sight to see. Afterwards, we head to the Mall of the Emirates. Even though it is not as big as The Dubai Mall, it still has one thing that makes it stand apart. It hosts an indoor ski resort.
It offers a variety of things, from tubing to a black diamond slope, or to be able to play with penguins in below freezing temperature while it could be over 100 degrees outside is amazing. Next up, we headed to the Palm Jumeirah, a manmade island that sits in the Persian Gulf and looks like a big palm tree from above. It is kind of weird walking around the island knowing it’s man-made. It makes you think just what things humans are able to build. Next, we went back to the Burj Khalfia for the water show they do every half hour, much like the one put on by the Mirage in Las Vegas. Before we
knew it, it was time to head back to the airport for class on Monday. I would have to rate Dubai as one of my favorite cites in the world, tied with London. It is truly amazing what people can do in the middle of nowhere and it shows the extent of how wealthy the UAE is. Even though it is in the Middle East, I did not fear for my safety, but there definitely was a culture shock being in the Middle East. Everyone could speak enough English for us to get by. If you have any question feel free to ask! Overall, it was a great weekend, and I am looking forward to my next weekend trip.

The Society of Women Engineers pose for a photo at the Engineering Pageant hosted last week in the UC.
Nathalie Quintero President, SWE On Wednesday, February 19th the Society of Women Engineers (SWE) hosted an event during this year’s E-week for the first time ever. SWE hosted the first Annual Mr. and Ms. Engineer Pageant in the Student Center at 7:00 P.M! The pageant consisted of three rounds: nerd cat walk, talent show, and an interview with questions. Each round
was amazing. The contestants, which ranged in classes from freshman to junior, were very creative. Everyone who attended enjoyed an awesome show. We had the participation of Kaloki Nabutolla, an esteemed rapper from our student body, and the Acabellas. They served as part of the entertainment for our show. The judges of the event were: Dr. Heidi Steinhauer, head of the freshman engineering department, Dr. Eduardo
Divo, professor of Mechanical Engineering, and Nathalie Quintero, SWE President. Throughout each of the rounds, many contestants showcased their unique talents and personalities. Some of the talents showcased were Tuba playing, singing, a martial arts demonstration, dancing and the great Rubik’s cube. After the completion of three rounds, the judges deliberated on which contestants were the best for the title. Our Second place
winners were Jillian Thompson and Denys Lara, and the first ever Mr. and Ms. Engineer were Tony Khoury and Erin Fields. The Society of Women Engineers would like to thank everyone that supported the event and made this event possible to host at our campus. The Society of Women Engineers Hopes you had a wonderful and happy Engineers Week 2014, and we hope to see many more great memories to come!
Alternative Spring Break: Daytona Beach Grettel Ruiz Guest Reporter Do you have plans for Spring Break? If the answer is no, you should consider volunteering
with Alternative Spring Break (ASB). ASB will be hosting volunteer opportunities throughout Daytona Beach from March 17th through March 20th. There are many
volunteer opportunities in Daytona, but we can only do so much in four days. Thus, we have narrowed the selection down to the following: a day at the ARNE Animal Shelter, Sugar Mill Gardens, and a day at the beach. At ARNE, students will be taking care of rescued animals by bathing, walking, and feeding them. Furthermore, students will get to explore the Sugar Mill Gardens, build a cylinder box, and pot plants. Finally, Daytona is known for its “World’s Most Famous Beach”, but it takes a lot of hard work keeping it looking grand. Being a part of ASB is exciting and rewarding, but also includes community service hours, free lunch, and adventures into Daytona Beach. This four days of volunteer opportunities can offer a lifetime reward. If you have no plans
for Spring Break, please join ASB. Even if you can only give a day or two, you can make a lasting impact and have some fun. Alternative Spring Break is sponsored by the Volunteer Network at ERAU. For more information ASB will be hosting two informational meetings on March 3rd at 6 p.m. in the Endeavor Conference Room on the third floor of the UC and on Thursday March 6th at 6 p.m. in IC 103. If you cannot make the meetings, please stop by the Volunteer Network office in the Student Center Room 112 next to wthe student radio station WIKD 102. FM or shoot us an email at outreach@erau.edu.

James Sullivan Guest Reporter
Did you know there is a student garden located on campus at Embry-Riddle? The garden is located between Doolittle dorms and the tennis courts and was planted in the spring of 2013. The Student Government Association, under the guidance of Braxton Woodward and Professor Ted von Hippel, started the garden last spring by planting three citrus trees, a blueberry bush and a strawberry bush. During fall of 2013, the garden was expanded by a group of students from Professor Arnaud’s Ethics of Sustainability Honors class. This group was led by Samuel Friedman, and
TH
they constructed a 4x4 raised planter box near the existing trees. Corn was planted in this box due to its ruggedness and compatibility with Florida’s climate. If you’re reading this, I encourage you to swing by the garden and take a look for yourself. The plot of land we are using was generously donated by Susan Rannie, the Forman of Grounds and Irrigation, and has plenty of room for expansion. I am currently working with my group members from class BA 325, Social Responsibility and Ethics in Management, to organize a standing committee on campus tasked with the ongoing care and expansion of student gardens at Embry-Riddle. We are work-
ing in conjunction with the Student Government Association’s Environmental Awareness Committee to develop a care program for the gardens. To learn more about getting involved in the student garden efforts on campus, please email me at sullivj8@my.erau. edu. Furthermore, if gardening is something you are interested in please don’t hesitate to contact me. Additionally, I suggest you attend the next SGA Environmental Awareness Committee meeting. Meetings are held every Wednesday at 3:30 p.m. in the SGA Conference Room and the meeting is open to all who are interested in the sustainability of our campus. See you there!

Nepal Plane Crash Emblematic of Dismal Aviation Safety Record Andy Lichtenstein Senior Reporter On Sunday, Feb 23, a Nepal Airlines flight out of the tourist town of Pokhara crashed into the mountains of western Nepal. The seasoned DeHavilland Twin Otter was bound for the remote village of Jumla. All 18 people on board were killed. It is unclear whether those people died in the crash itself, or perished from exposure, as it took a Search And Rescue (SAR) team 20 hours to locate the aircraft. Nepali investigators say it will be a tedious process to
determine the cause of the crash, though Nepal is notorious for its lack of inquiries. The Aviation Safety Network gave Nepal a score of 2 out of a possible 10 for aircraft investigation. Just as unsettling, the country also received a 2 for aviation safety legislation. Insufficient investigation clearly leads to a lack of post-accident improvements. This seems to be a growing problem in Nepal. The country has a terrible safety record to begin with. Additionally, there were at least 2 fatal crashes each year between 2010 and 2012. This increase in fatalities
could be directly proportional to the increased number of passengers. Kathmandu-based aviation expert Hemant Arjyal of the Nepal National Aviation Council told the Associated Foreign Press that it’s abundantly apparent “…our safety [culture] has not been up to standards. There is a tendency to investigate only if all the people on board have died in the crash. This makes the job of the investigating officials easy. Now you can blame the dead crew.” The above quote, although unsettling and almost aggravating, does
seem rational. Many of the safety events in recent years have been attributed to inexperienced pilots. However, this is difficult to prove, as the mentality and safety culture is so poor. Nepali investigators use “pilot error” as a punch line, rather than a probable cause. Reworded, it’s more of an excuse, rather than a reason. Last December, the European Union banned all of Nepal’s airlines from flying into or within the EU, noting that the country’s safety record “does not leave us any other choice.” EU Transport Commissioner Siim Kallas
has already requested the “European Aviation Safety Agency to prepare an aviation safety assistance project for Nepal.” It’s abundantly clear to me that Nepal fails to take aviation safety seriously. Their investigation process is an excuse. Their safety culture, a joke. They merely investigate for damage control and public relations. They fail to even show interest in fatal accidents, unless everyone has perished. Forget about injuries. Proactive measures from the EU should be praised and continued, until Nepal cleans up their act.
Asiana Airlines Bonhomme Wins in Fined $500,000 Abu Dhabi Albert Choi Guest Reporter Asiana Airlines was fined $500,000 for improperly treating passengers in a crash. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) decided that Asiana Airlines has to pay the fine on February 25, 2014. Asiana Airlines is required to help families from the accident and contact the families as soon as possible. However, the process of contacting the families was done wrong. They took too long to contact the victims’ families. A few took one day, but most of the people on the passenger report took more than two days to notify, which is not acceptable. In 1997, a law was published that “family assisting plan” has to be met when the accident occurs. There are expectations from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and FAA that each airline should be ready to act when there is an accident by assesing the situation and coming up with a solution for victims. The NTSB and FAA expect Asiana Airlines to solve the problem wisely and effectively. In this crash (Asiana Flight 214), Asiana Airlines failed to contact all of 291 passengers and their families who were killed or injured. The first problem began with the hospital. There were not enough seats or rooms to take care of all the injured passengers. Asiana Airlines did not provide a solution for this problem and made
victims feel uncomfortable. Secondly, and most importantly, informing the passengers had been a troublesome project. Even Asiana Airlines did not have specific plans with information to tell to passengers. The passengers felt stressed and waited for a long time to hear what would happen. Asiana Airlines said they could not track all of the people from the crash, and neither could each hospital. The problem seems simple, but it is clearly obvious that Asiana did not work properly for the victims. The Department of Transportation (DOT) expected Asiana Airlines to open toll free calls for the public; however, the website does not provide clear direction for victims to follow. There was not even a section about the crash, which DOT wants them to make apparent and separate. Also Asiana Airlines had trouble sending officials right away to notify families, taking two days to complete. In all, Asiana Airlines took five days to contact all of victims’ family. The NTSB and DOT decided that even though every airline gets dumfounded when a crash occurs, the standard level of services has to be required. Asiana Airlines did their best, but could not reach the U.S standard level of service and charged them $500,000. According to the DOT, $400,000 of the fine has to be paid within 30 days and other $100,000 has to be spent on multiple wide conferences and training sessions for further crash prevention presentations.
Andy Lichtenstein Senior Reporter The Red Bull Air Race World Championship is back! Abu Dhabi played host to the 2014 season opener again this year. Britain’s Paul Bonhomme won in style ahead of Austrian rival Hannes Arch and Canada’s Pete McLeod. Once again, the British favorite gave a textbook demonstration of skill, as though he hadn’t missed a beat since the last race back in August 2010 in Germany. “There was huge pressure out there and it was so much work to get back here,” said the defending champion of 2009 and 2010. During the Super 8
round, places 3 through 7 managed to fly within a second of each other. “It’s a race of basically not making mistakes,” Bonhomme explained. Bonhomme went on to set a record final with the day’s best time – 56.439 seconds with Arch two seconds back at 56.776. It was a thrilling start to the 2014 season of the world’s fastest motorsport series. The crystal blue waters of the Arabian Gulf also saw Canada’s Pete McLeod earn a career-first podium in the season opener, while Hannes Arch clocked in some pretty wicked lap times as well. “Overall I can be happy with my performance and my team,” Arch commented after the race. “I am
really happy that we really performed. I came here to see where I am – and I am in the front with Paul. The game is on.” Our favorite high-speed, low-altitude, three-dimensional sport is back! Croatia plays host to stop number 2 on April 12 – 13. The Red Bull Air Race circuit will then make stops in Malaysia, Poland, England, the United States, and China. It will be interesting to see who finds success in the 2014 season. We can expect to see much more competitive lap times with standardized Hartzell propellers and Lycoming Thunderbolt engines. This year is going to be the safest and most competitive season to date.

Delta Airline Security Blunder Lets Passengers Skip Customs At JFK
Michael Wildes Guest Reporter
Here’s an interesting twist on the idea of illegal immigration for you. A very careless security blunder at the John F. Kennedy Airport in New York allowed passengers arriving on Delta Flight #3 from London Heathrow International in England allowed passengers to exit the airport without first going through Customs and Immigration. This incident, which took place on Monday, Feb. 24, has already made its way around the news. As
it turns out, the airline arrived at the wrong terminal which, by coincidence, allowed them to enter the airport at a section where they wouldn’t have to interact with customs or immigration. Passengers with just carry-on luggage could’ve simply exited the airport on whim, but many of them reported that they only realized this blunder when they were at the front exit
of the airport without their luggage and had to go back into the airport to retrieve them. Ironically, the news about this mishap was only allowed to come out because Andrew Rostron, the husband of a CBS News employee, was on said flight and predictably told his wife about the confusion. The mess-up may have come from the fact that there were only
54 people on the transatlantic flight, and this may have somehow allowed the airline to disembark in the domestic terminal, #4 to be specific. It wasn’t until the passengers realized that they were walking past the duty-free shopping arcade, which they realized to be strange, before they then reported the incident to the airport officials who made corrective actions.
The officials finally gathered the passengers and brought them to the Immigration sections so that the proper checks could be done. It is believed that some passengers may have gotten away without going through screening. Delta is now collaborating with the Port Authority of New York, who actually runs the airport, and Customs and Border Protection to make corrective actions. Hopefully this will never have to happen again, as the situation could turn out much differently.

Ethiopian Airlines Flight 702 Hijacking Anthony Carpeneti Staff Reporter Imagine being on a normal flight heading from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia to Milan, Italy with a stopover in Rome, Italy, but you don’t land at the stopover. Then you don’t stop at your final destination of Rome. Then imagine flying all the way to Geneva, Switzerland, where you circle for 30 minutes before finally being able to land. That is exactly what happened to the passengers and crew of Ethiopian Airlines flight 702 on Feb. 17, 2014 after their aircraft was hijacked. This hijacking was one of very interesting detail. While you mostly have the dumb and idiotic hijackers, you can have some smart hijackers, and this guy was one of those smart hijackers, as he was none other than the copilot of this aircraft. The incident started over Sudan when the pilot of the aircraft went out of the cockpit for a bathroom break, and when he did, the co-pi-
lot locked the cockpit door and continued to fly the aircraft, and he squawked 7500, which is the international code for a hijacking. Hailemedhin Abrea Tegegn, a well-educated Ethiopian national, had worked for

Ethiopian Airlines for five years. Apparently, he was seeking Political Asylum, claiming he felt threatened in his native country of Ethiopia. According to his family members, he had been in emotional distress for the previous month over the sudden death of an uncle. Upon passing the Italian airports they were sup-
Swiss territory. Because the flight came in before 6a.m. Central European Time, the Swiss Air Force did not come up and intercept it. The reason they didn’t is because the incident happened outside of normal office hours, which are from 8a.m. to noon and 1:30p.m. to 5p.m.. According to a Swiss Air Force spokesman,
land relies on neighboring countries to police its airspace outside of regular business hours. The French Air Force has permission to escort suspicious flights into Swiss airspace, but they do not have the authority to shoot down an aircraft over Switzerland. Prior to the landing, the
aircraft was in a holding pattern for half an hour because the copilot wanted to hear from Swiss authorities on their response about his asylum requests. Once that happened, he finally brought the aircraft onto a final approach and he landed the aircraft with less than 10 minutes of fuel remaining and one engine flamed out. He taxied the aircraft to the end of the runway, per request by the approach controller, and the copilot got out of the aircraft by opening a window in the cockpit and using a rope to scale down to the ground. Upon reaching the ground, he walked up to police, identified himself as the hijacker and was arrested. All in all, this hijacking had a very peaceful outcome and no lives were lost. Ethiopia has been the target of several hijackings, with all of them up until this one having fatalities occur. This one can be said that the hijacking ended peacefully with no passengers killed or injured as a result.

Shuttle Spinoff of the Week Breathing Apparatus
SCAMP (Supercritical Air Mobility Pack) is a self-contained breathing apparatus developed under a NASA contract. The breathing system was designed to meet the needs of Kennedy Space Center rescue personnel under extreme conditions and unusual spaces. The technology has been incorporated into portable suits to fit the needs of ground-based emergency personnel, such as firefighters. Advance designs of these suits keep the body cool by circulating body heat, and by providing air for breathing from supercritical cold (cryogenic) air.
Winter Storm Plows Through NE Jonathan Lezman Staff Reporter Daytona Beach may be sunny and mild, but across the United States, from the central plains up into the northeast, is still receiving feet of snow, and subzero temperatures.

The winter storm is moving east and along with it plenty of cold
air for the rest of the country with winds reaching fifty miles per hour at the surface throughout the intermountain west. States all the way from California to Maine will be impacted from the cold weather, and with plenty of snow to go around for everyone, temperatures are starting to plummet. North Dakota is seeing temperatures so cold that there is a 100 degree difference between North Dakota and Florida. Airports all along the Great Lakes and north-
east such as Washington D.C., New York, Chicago, and Boston will experience major delays from the snow and the ice. A winter storm of this magnitude could easily halt the National Airspace System, leaving thousands stranded and airports at a standstill. More than 100 million people are in the path of the winter storm, according to AccuWeather, and many states like Pennsylvania are already gearing up for the worst
possible outcome. PenDOT, Pennsylvania’s Department of Transportation, is taking charge of the situation, and emergency crews and snow plows and salt trucks are already being commissioned as the storm inches east. The National Weather Service has issued massive amounts of winter advisories and winter warnings throughout the United States from the approaching cold front, and power outages are expected to escalate
to staggering numbers as the storm passes through. The Weather Channel has named this winter storm “Titan” because of its massive size; moreover, winter storm Titan will live up to its name and dump large amounts of snow throughout the already freezing northeast. Winter officially ends Wednesday, Mar. 19; however, with this powerful storm system crippling millions of homes and cities, a dramatic warm up is not on the horizon just yet.

Baseball Completes Sweep of Royals vs
Wednesday
March
Ryan Mosher ERAU Athletics Embry-Riddle found some more offense on Saturday, including a seven-run inning in the series finale, to compliment more impressive pitching from the Eagle staff in a pair of Sun Conference victories, 8-0 and 8-1. Embry-Riddle (10-7, 8-1) went for 28 hits on Saturday while the ERAU pitching staff held the Royals (8-11, 4-8) to just 10 hits and one run to complete the three-game sweep on the road.
Game 1 Stetson Nelson was once again masterful for the Blue and Gold, throwing a complete game shutout of the Royals as the Eagles cruised to a series-clinching 8-0 win. Nelson allowed just six hits and two walks in the victory. The Eagles struck early in Saturday's opener, sending seven men to the plate against Royal starter Jose Hernandez. Jake Cavender and Kevin Lindheim started things off with back-toback singles with one out before Hernandez struck out Darryl Knight for the second out. J Rhet Montana took the first pitch he saw to right field to score Cavender. Hunter Bruehl capped a pitch off the end of his bat that was placed perfectly down the third base line, resulting in another Eagle run and a 2-0 lead. Nelson issued just his fifth walk of the 2014 season to begin the Royal first, but stranded the WU base runner at third to end the frame without any damage. The Eagles doubled their score in the second when
Warner: 1 Cavender singled to right with the bases loaded and when the throw came in from the right fielder, it got away from the second baseman as the lead increased to 4-0. Embry-Riddle almost scored for the third consecutive inning when the loaded the bases in the third, but Hernandez got out of the frame with a weak ground ball to third. Nelson had his streak of 11 consecutive hitless innings come to an end in the Warner third when Damien McKinney blooped a single into right for a base hit, but Nelson ended the threat and moved the game to the fourth with a couple of ground outs. The Blue and Gold played some small ball in the fourth after Cavender reached on a fielding error. The Eagle DH stole second and moved to third on Lindheim's ground ball to the right side before Knight brought in the fifth Eagle run of the day with a sacrifice fly to center. After a leadoff single in the home half of the fourth, Nelson retired seven straight Royal batters and the new Royal pitcher Blaine Rhea worked a perfect Eagle sixth, the first time in the game the Blue and Gold didn't record a base hit in an inning. Nelson faced his first real threat in the last of the sixth when the Royals loaded the bases with two outs, but the left-hander got Logan Hunter to hit a slow grounder to Johnson at second and he flipped the ball to Hankamer for the force out to end the Warner inning. Rhea continued to confuse Eagle batters as he worked quickly through
the seventh, inducing the third ground ball double play off an Eagle bat to end the frame. Kyle Chastain and Hankamer started the eighth with singles to right center and left center before Goodall recorded his second bunt base hit to load the bases against Rhea. Lindheim's sacrifice fly plated Chastain before Knight came through with a single to left center that plated two more Eagle runs for an 8-0 ERAU advantage. Nelson ended the home half of the eighth with a 3-6 double play as new Eagle first baseman Matt Jacobs teamed up with Hankamer to send the contest to the ninth inning. Nelson had no problem ending the game with a near-perfect ninth, moving his record to 3-1 with the shutout. Knight drove in three runs while Cavender went 2-for-5 with two runs and Hankamer finished 2-for-2 with two runs and a pair of walks.
Game 2 For the time in three games against Warner, the Eagles plated a run in the first inning, taking a 1-0 lead when Knight launched a double to deep left center that scored Cavender all the way from first as the Eagle shortstop was running on the pitch. The lead held up in the bottom of the frame as Corey Tufts pitched a 1-2-3 inning against the top of the WU lineup. The Blue and Gold wasted a pair of base hits in the top of the second and the Royals made it hurt by knotting the game in the last of the frame on an RBI groundout from Sergio Perez, scoring Anthony
Dovale from third. Goodall recorded his third bunt single in the fourth, but again the Eagles couldn't take advantage, stranding their fifth runner of the contest as Dalton Kelly continued to move through the Embry-Riddle lineup. After Tufts stranded a runner in the fourth, the Eagles got a leadoff double from Chastain and perfect bunt from Cavender to put runners on the corners with no outs in the top of the fifth. The ninth Eagle hit of the contest turned out to be a double from Lindheim, driving in Chastain for a 2-1 lead before Cavender scored on a Kelly wild pitch. Montana plated Lindheim with a single through the left side and after a stolen base, walk and fielder's choice; Goodall scored Montana with a single to center, bringing the Eagle lead to 5-1. Three more runs would score before Kelly finally got out of the inning as the Eagles scored seven runs on seven hits in the frame to take a commanding 8-1 lead. Tufts worked smoothly through the fifth and sixth and officially made his longest outing of the year to date with a scoreless seventh. Brian Johnson entered the game for Tufts in the last of the eighth, setting down the Royals in order before Dylan Demarest threw a scoreless ninth to preserve the 8-1 victory. Tufts (2-2) got the win, throwing 7.0 innings, surrendering just one unearned run on two hits while striking out a pair on 83 total pitches. Chastain and Cavender recorded a pair of hits for the Blue and Gold who finished the three-game series with 41 total hits.

All is Lost is Not a Lost Cause
Dylan Pratt Guest Reporter The perfect movie for a studio is one that gathers critical acclaim and a substantial box office take. Typically, this is an extremely hard balance to achieve, as what appeals to the masses, does not appeal to the critics. Movies like We’re the Millers and Identity Thief while critically panned, saw huge box office returns. Recently, though, there has been a category that has the potential to satisfy both the critical eye and the easily gratified movie-goer: the survival genre. This relatively untapped resource has seen big gains for those willing to finance them. Movies like Joe Carnahan’s The Grey, Danny Boyle’s 127 Hours, Ang Lee’s Life of Pi, and currently at the foreground of the genre, Alfonso Cuaron’s Gravity all follow a similar trajectory that has proved to be a successful one over the past five years. Pit a very small group of characters, or in many cases a single character, against insurmountable, natural odds. The Grey, for example, finds Liam Neeson and an otherwise unrecognizable bunch of actors, trying to fight off the brutal conditions of Alaska while avoiding a ruthless pack of wolves. Gravity, as many know, puts Sandra Bullock up against the vast loneliness of space, which proves to be unimaginably unforgiving. These movies work so well due to one-on-one time the viewer gets with the main character. After establishing a bond with Bullock, the viewer is cast into space with her, holding his or her breath when she does, and feeling just as helpless. The typically one-actor cast keeps the budget low, and because of the small cast, the remaining funds can be allocated to
things like CGI and production values, further enhancing the viewing experience. Amidst the critical lauding and box office crushing, Gravity is a film that is arguably as good and certainly as brutal. J.C. Chandor’s All is Lost employs a mostly dialogue-free 32 page script, one actor, and lots and lots of ocean. While this may seem too simplistic to create an enjoyable movie, it is a 32 page script that features heavy emotion, one actor in Robert Redford whose resume speaks for itself, and an ocean that is as unrelenting as Cuaron’s outer space. With only the film Margin Call to his name, writer/director Chandor had to find eleven producers to get his project up and running, though in this reviewer’s opinion, it was money well invested by those who chipped in. There is very little, if any, setup involved in All is Lost. The viewer is left to make many assumptions about Redford’s nameless character as he navigates the Indian Ocean. A gorgeous boat suggests he is very wealthy, and one can only assume due to his age that he is recently retired, living out his fantasy of sailing around the world. It is clear that he is a competently skilled sailor, however, and while he may not know everything, he is certainly qualified to be on the ocean alone. Naturally, as there are no other characters in the film, Redford is tasked with making the lack of interaction interesting, and he does so masterfully. In one of the best performances of his career, and those who are familiar with it know this is a bold claim, Redford captains not only the boat, but the screen. Every grunt, brow raise, and even the seldom word carries great weight under Redford’s steady per-
tion to this movie, as with every movie, will depend on the viewer, though it is fair to guess that the impact will much greater than that of its inevitable comparison, Gravity. While the notion of being detached in space is truly horrifying, it is hard to relate, as most audience members will never find themselves off of the Earth (outside of this university,
anyway.) Anyone who has been pulled under by a current, or unable to immediately come up after a wave passes has felt the power of the ocean, and understand how unforgiving it can be. Though it is unlikely that Redford will garner a Best Actor Academy Award nod; it would not be surprising if he did. The actor, who is getting close to 80 years
old, shows he can still handle a lead role, with energy left to spare. Even the types of movie-goers who avoid “artsy” or “indie” films should give this a shot; in a perfect world it would change one’s opinion on movies like these, and at the very worst, one will have walked out of the theater knowing his or her money was very well spent.

formance. The movie starts as Redford’s nameless character is awakened by a jarring sound on an otherwise calm sea. Emerging on the deck, he sees that his boat has been struck by a castaway pod from a cargo ship. Striking the side of his boat, it leaves a gaping hole in the hull which quickly fills the cabin with water. Redford is left to maneuver his boat away from the pod, and patch the very large problem as best he can. The quiet in this film speaks volumes, continually reminding everyone, including Redford, how alone he is. Just as he has managed to craft a quick fix for the hole, a storm than only the Indian Ocean could provide swiftly moves over he and his ship. There are waves that rival those in The Perfect Storm, wind that stops just short of hurting the audience’s ears and darkness that makes one hope that it will be a cloudless day upon exiting the theater. Redford’s reactions to these conditions are amazing, especially considering the lack of dialogue, as he portrays a man who is unwilling to admit he made a mistake to go it alone. Giving nothing away that the trailer doesn’t already, after several catastrophic and emotionally heavy events, Redford finds himself having no choice but to employ the life raft and abandon his prized vessel. It is here that the “adventure” truly begins. With nothing more than a jug of water, a curiously obtained sextant, and a few cans of food, Redford has no recourse but to master some rudimentary mapping skills, and hope to cross a ship. Chandor’s direction throughout this film undoubtedly puts him on a short list of directors worth keeping an eye on. Much of the film is shot with right over Redford’s shoulder, which puts through everything that Redford endures. One feels as if he or she is sitting on the life raft with him, hoping he will hand the jug of water over after he takes a drink. The truly impressive shots though, are those that come from the bottom of the ocean, looking up at the vessel. The hopelessness of Redford’s situation becomes glaringly clear as the viewer gazes up at the single life boat. Schools of fish begin to follow under it, and soon after, sharks. With utter control over the project, being both the writer and director, Chandor makes the audience want to scream for help when the ocean is still, and hold its breath when rages. The reac-
