Red Jumpsuit Where did Sum 41 go?

Apparatus rocks campus Allie Iacovelli

Advertising Manager “Do you feel like a man, when you push her around? Do you feel better now, as she falls to the ground?”

Many of you are familiar with Red Jumpsuit Apparatus’s profound, emotional lyrics, but you probably do not know that all of their songs are inspired by personal experiences.

When we caught up with Ronnie Winter (the lead vocalist) lounging in his tour van, you would not immediately imagine him as someone full of such intensity. His laid back demeanor and simple charm are especially inviting, but when prompted about lyrics to one of their most popular songs, a pained look flashed across his eyes.

“Face Down”, a song concerning an abusive relationship, is actually paralleled off Ronnie’s own violent rapport with his father. “It’s something that’s hard to talk about,” Ronnie shared, “but our goal [as songwriters] has always been to turn a negative into a positive. We want to write songs that a lot of people can connect to – and if that happens, it’s a good thing.”

For a local band originating right here in Florida in 2003, Red Jumpsuit Apparatus has come further than they ever expected. RJA’s first album, The Lonely Road, sold over 500,000 copies back in 2006 and was certified “Gold” by the Recording Industry Association of America. It hasn’t been an easy process, though. “The hardest part is being away from my family for so long,” Ronnie claimed. They tour all over the country and also headline campaigns to raise awareness for domestic violence and teen suicide.

With all the band has accomplished within the past 9 years, Ronnie is not sure what the future has in store for them. “In the next five years, if the world doesn’t end by then,” he chuckles, “I would like to say we’d still be touring and making music – but honestly, I just don’t know.”

The band strives tirelessly to connect with their fans, though. Because of this, wherever their future leads them, one thing is certain: their fans will undoubtedly be following them along the whole way.

LEAD SINGER OF SUM 41 Deryck Whibley had a medical emergency in the days leading up to the concert leading to the cancellation of the act and a last minute scramble for a new act.

Touch-N-Go Chairperson Student programming is like Tetris; a traditionally long and drawn out process that gets more intense as time continues on. For those of you who play regularly you may end up constructing four layers of blocks awaiting that final vertical piece for extra points.

However, sometimes life throws you a curve ball and instead of that four vertical block you were expecting you get a square block.

On Monday, April 16th Touch-NGo Productions was given the 2x2 block.

When programming large concerts for Universities it is common practice to utilize a middle agent – this individual procures any and all necessary requirements from the initial bid for performance to the full length contract of services.

Artist tour managers go through the middle agent in lieu of contacting University representatives directly to standardize the flow of information. This past Monday our middle agent received news that the lead singer of SUM41 had to be

taken to the hospital and would not be able to perform for Saturday’s concert.

In the remaining four days of the week Touch-N-Go Productions worked frantically to secure a new headliner on such short notice; we closed our office on Tuesday, April 17 to help facilitate this process.

In the beginning of our search it was initially planned on having three bands co-headline the spring concert. As we quickly approached the end of the week we decided on two bands for the show and announced that Red Jumpsuit Apparatus would be headlining the spring concert.

The turnaround time for this endeavor is unprecedented within our organization (even considering the fact we have never had such a large artist cancel so close to the day of show).

The general members and executive board of Touch-N-Go Productions along with our advisors Jessica Searcy (Assistant Director of Student Activities for Programming and Leadership) and Amy Vaughan (Director of Student Activities and Campus Events) worked hard

and efficiently last week to make sure the spring concert was still an incredible success.

While I do not have the time and space to recognize the accomplishments of each and every member of Touch-N-Go Productions who helped relentlessly throughout the week I would like to mention one individual who truly helped put all the pieces together.

When we solidified our new headliner the task of re-launching all of our advertisements fell to the Promotions Coordinator of TouchN-Go Productions.

She has worked non-stop throughout this entire week changing every form of advertisement and promotions we have had circulating the ERAU community reflecting our new headliner Red Jumpsuit Apparatus; Nailyn Ibanez was the 4x1 vertical block that we were waiting for.

On behalf of Touch-N-Go Productions and the Student Government Association I hope you all enjoyed the 2012 Spring Concert featuring Hit the Lights and Red Jumpsuit Apparatus and we look forward to seeing you in the fall!

The Editor’s fond farewell In my three years at The Avion as a Reporter, News Editor, and this year as Editor-In-Chief, I cannot thank the great staff I have served with enough for making these years so memorable.

I also have to give a big thanks to the wonderful Embry-Riddle Student Activities staff, the Student Government Association & Divisions whom we are proud to be a part of, and our extraordinary advisor, Jessica Searcy. A special thanks also goes out to the Dean’s offices and President’s office, whose endless support for The Avion does not go unnoticed.

This year especially, The Avion saw a lot of changes. From a new size, to a better organizational structure, this Avion staff did it all. It has been an honor being able to serve the student body and to be a part of producing a newspaper that delivers reliable, interesting, educational,

and unique material that people want to read.

Spending every Sunday at the Avion office for production has become a way of life over the years, and next Sunday it will certainly be strange for me to not be producing a newspaper. Graduation brings about so many “firsts” in life, but also brings about so many “lasts” as well.

It is bittersweet to be the “outgoing Editor” writing a farewell, but as I write this, the Avion is only getting started on becoming an even more dominant presence on campus. There are too many individuals to name that I owe a great thanks to, including the student body as a whole—your readership makes The Avion what it is.

Newspapers have been a part of daily life for centuries—whether or not people realize it, some of the most famous images in history that

continue to live on are from the front pages of world recognized newspapers. As we advance in time as a society, we have grown accustomed to news apps on our Smartphones, email news alerts, and a constant feed of breaking news from a number of websites. The same people that produce newspapers are the people behind the text you read on your screen.

While print is unfortunately becoming a secondary source of news due to the inability of instant notification, it remains the most trusted, conversational, and most scrutinized object society has. It is important that no matter what field someone wishes to be a part of, to not lose the fundamental basics of reading, writing, and understanding the importance of printed text.

Especially at a university like EmbryRiddle, The Avion provides a different environment for our students

I want to ride my concrete bicycle Kirsten Peterson

Civil Engineering Every year, the senior design class in the Civil Engineering Department is tasked with difficult projects varying from concrete planes to steel trebuchets. This year, the class was split into two teams and tasked with two separate projects. Our company, (with the self-given company name of Bicycrete LLC), was tasked with the job of developing, designing, constructing and demonstrating a bicycle whose frame is constructed of portland cement-based concrete.

Design criteria included dimension specifications of a 54 centimeter frame, 700c wheels, and that the bicycle was road legal for the State of Florida during day time riding conditions. The bicycle frame dimensions must also be in conformance with Union Cyclist Internationale (UCI) standards.

Joints from an actual bicycle frame are allowed to be embedded in the concrete to only the amount required to develop appropriate pull-out strength. Although the frame is constructed of concrete, the handlebar, seat, front fork, breaks, and of course the wheels from an actual bicycle will be attached to the concrete frame. Bicycrete LLC decided to use carbon fiber reinforcement technology in their concrete mix to aid in the multi-directional, dynamic loadings that are typical of bicycles.

The bicycle is scheduled to be finished

by April 26. On April 28, the bicycle will undergo a performance test. One member of the team will ride the bicycle in a straight line over a distance of 15 meters without stopping.

Everyone is invited to attend! Project

demonstration will be at 3:00 PM in Lehman 175 (then transitioning to parking lot for riding space). We are very excited to see the final result (good luck to our rider Kyle!) of all of our hard work for the world’s first concrete-framed bicycle!

A letter from a Faculty Member AN OPINIONS SPECIAL

Dear Gay and Straight ERAU Students, I’ve been involved in many efforts on this campus to encourage respectful treatment of others. This article isn’t really about that; it’s about wanting to make sure that gay students on this campus know that they aren’t alone, which is especially important given the current cultural climate in which depression and suicide among gay youth have reached epidemic proportions.

P.R.I.D.E.! (a club on campus for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning students and their straight allies) created a business card that includes information about the club and the statement, “You are not alone at ERAU.” This week, a gay member of P.R.I.D.E.! saw one of those cards on the ground at the library’s entrance, picked it up, and realized that someone had blacked out everything except the club’s rainbowand-eagle logo such that the card now

A little shout out from the editorial staff of the Avion We at the Avion would like to thank our readership for the support over the last semester as we made all these changes to the paper.

The comments and criticisms are much appreciated as it helps us tailor our paper to you, the student’s needs.

The staff has great plans for the next year and we look forward to improving the paper and contiuing to serve the student body.

The Avion Staff

read, “You are alone at ERAU.” Yes, it’s just a card. It’s easy enough to shake off small things that are a result of small minds. Although it is actually a symptom of a much larger problem, I’m not going to focus on a “wrong doing”; I’m focusing on an utter inaccuracy.

Although the gay student who found the card did feel, in that moment, unwelcome on this campus, he also knows that he is NOT alone. Not even close. A common mantra in the gay rights movement is “We’re here and we’re queer” because an invisible identity group has no agency.

Gay students, staff, and faculty are most certainly here at Embry-Riddle—in higher numbers than some people might think. And straight allies are all over the place, too, though I encourage more of them to “come out” in support of LGBTQ people.

Genuine support, acceptance, and community are offered by many individu-

als, by the student club P.R.I.D.E.!, and by offices (including but not limited to the Women’s Center, Office of Diversity Initiatives, Counseling Center, Dean of Students Office, and Chaplain’s Office).

Once the closet door is open, all of that light can get in.

We shouldn’t be naïve enough to whine, “Why can’t we all just get along?”

But we should also refuse to whimper, “It is what it is.” I encourage straight students who know that “gay is okay” to make their presence known.

To any LGBTQ student who feels alone on this campus, I say this: Honey, it just ain’t so. If nothing else, drop me an email. I know LOTS of people you should meet.

As for the P.R.I.D.E.! members, don’t worry. They have plenty of their cards to go around, and they’ll continue to distribute them with profound hope.

Sincerely, Dr. Libbie Searcy

Discovery’s final flight Richard Weakley Senior Photographer The Space Shuttle Orbiter Discovery left the Kennedy Space Center (KSC) for the final time, last Tuesday morning at 6:58 am, to be put on display at the Smithsonian’s Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center at Washington’s Dulles International Airport in Fairfax County, Virginia.

The Shuttle Carrier Aircraft (SCA) with Discovery on top departed KSC’s runway 15 to the southeast, flew over the KSC Visitors Center and headed south at a low altitude towards Patrick Air Force Base.

The SCA turned around low over Patrick Air Force Base to give Air Force service personnel one last look at the vehicle they supported for the past 30 years, before flying slow and low over Cocoa Beach and Cape Canaveral to give the community that supported the Shuttle program a final glimpse at a vehicle that was an integral part of life on the Space Coast.

After this, the SCA made another pass over the KSC Visitor’s Center, then flew over the old shuttle launch pads and the Vehicle Assembly Building before making a final pass at 500 feet over the old shuttle landing runway.

Approximately 2,000 people, including former and current

employees, visitors and news media, were gathered for the occasion.

After Discovery’s final spaceflight, STS-133, was completed on March 9, 2011, crews began decontaminating the orbiter and removing components for museum display.

A few days before the ferry flight to Virginia, Discovery was towed out of the Vehicle Assembly Building for the final time and mounted to the top of a modified Boeing 747100, the Shuttle Carrier Aircraft (N905NA) with the Mate/Demate Device at the Shuttle Landing Facility (SLF).

This 747 was the first in NASA’s two ship fleet of 747’s modified to carry the Space Shuttles back to KSC after landing at locations other than the SLF at KSC. N905NA was purchased from American Airlines in 1974 and all seats and interiors aft of the forward door were removed to decrease of the weight of the aircraft so that it could accommodate the weight of the Space Shuttle orbiter.

Additional frames were added to the fuselage below the points where the orbiter is attached. Since the weight of the orbiter on the aircraft would bring the center of gravity too far to the aft of the aircraft than acceptable for flight, several thousand pounds of ballast weights were added to the front of

the aircraft. The area in the cargo hold forward of the forward cargo door is occupied almost entirely by ballast weights.

In its retired configuration, Discovery is 30,000 to 40,000 pounds lighter than when it was active and hence, the Shuttle Carrier Aircraft with Discovery has an additional hour of flight time than usual.

This extra flight time allowed the crew to fly over national monuments in Washington DC for nearly an hour before landing at Washington’s Dulles International Airport.

In a ceremony on April 19, the test space shuttle Enterprise was removed from the Steven F. UdvarHazy Center and Discovery put in its place.

The Enterprise will be flown to John F. Kennedy International Airport on top of the SCA and then put onto a barge to be taken to the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum in June. The SCA with Enterprise is planned to flyover the metropolitan New York City area before landing.

The next orbiter departure from KSC will be Endeavour leaving in October for its final resting place in the California Science Center in Los Angeles, California. Atlantis will be moved to the KSC Visitor’s Center in 2013.

Space Shuttle Discovery Arrives at its New Home James Dingell Guest Reporter As the sun rose over Washington Dulles Airport (IAD) on the morning of Tuesday, April 17, preparation was underway for the arrival of space shuttle Discovery riding atop NASA’s Shuttle Carrier Aircraft (N905NA), a converted Boeing 747-100. The general aviation ramps were filling up with transient aircraft bringing passengers to view the historic event including nearly 30 Bonanzas and Barons from a National club. At 8:39 a.m., the first T-38 taxied off the ramp and headed to meet the Shuttle then about 100-200 miles away.

Soon after, the second T-38 taxied out to begin the escort mission to Dulles before carrying on to Washington D.C. The first glimpse of the shuttle came at 8:58 a.m. as it entered its holding pattern to the south of Dulles while the T-38’s joined up for its fly over the east side of the airport. It leveled off and performed its pass over its new home at the National Air and Space Museum - Steven F.

Udvar-Hazy Center. The airport was crowded – every ramp, road, parking garage and service road had a line of onlookers waiting to catch a glimpse of the shuttle on its last flight.

After its pass over Dulles, the flight took Discovery to the north before intercepting the Potomac River for its journey to the Nation’s Capital. The flight path passed over the monuments on the National Mall, Regan National Airport (DCA) and other sites in the DC/VA area. With several holds performed over the city, it gave the spectators multiple chances to see the spectacle.

Photographers took advantage of the great photo ops with the Washington Monument, Capital and White House with the most served shuttle overhead. Space Shuttle Discovery made 39 trips to space and it was on its final journey.

After 45 minutes, with the bright landing lights visible on an extended final for 1R at Washington Dulles. The crowds at Dulles began cheering as the aircraft came into view. With my eye in the viewfinder, I noticed

they had another pass in store for us at Dulles. I quickly grabbed my camera and sprinted across the ramp to get that “perfect shot” as it passed overhead.

They made a right turn, joined a right downwind for 1R again, and executed a spot landing in front of the MWAA (Metropolitan Washington Airport Authority) viewing stand. The heavy 747 rolled out in full length giving great perspective at only 200 feet away. Up close, you can see the evidence of the numerous trips into space with the burnt tiles and dirty appearance.

The carrier crossed the ramp and came to a stop in front of the main terminal for a photo op for the media and airport before making its way to its unloading site on the west side of the airport. The National Air and Space Museum is ready for the removal of Enterprise (delivered to Washington Dulles in June 1985) this weekend in a ceremony where the Enterprise will roll out and Discovery will roll into the James S. McDonnell Space Hangar.

ERAU Athletics For the third time in as many seasons, the Embry-Riddle women’s tennis team was awarded the Sun Conference tournament trophy following a 5-1 victory over No. 2 seed SCAD Savannah in the championship match of The Sun Conference tournament, Saturday at the Crotty Tennis Complex. The win was the 20th of the season for the second-ranked Eagles, who are now 20-3 on the year, while the 13th-ranked Bees move to 10-4 overall.

The first match off the court was at No. 3 doubles where Kristina Marova and Paola Montero blanked Ana Dominguez and Andrea Gonzalez 8-0. Rocio Frej Vitalle and Ekaterina Kamendova earned an 8-2 victory over Maria Barragan and Carolina Viteri at the No. 2 spot, but the Bees got a point back at No. 1 doubles when Theresa Schamus and Magdalena Bresson topped Yi Ching Chen and Josefine Strom 8-6.

Chen rebounded from the doubles setback to tally the first singles point for the

Blue and Gold, downing Schmaus 6-4, 6-1. Marova extended the ERAU lead to 4-1 when she battled to a straight-set (6-2, 6-3) win over Viteri on court four.

The first set of the match at No. 3 singles between Kamendova and Barrigan went back and forth and in the end, it was Kamendova who held off the SCAD sophomore 7-5. Riding the momentum of her first set win, Kamendova rolled past Barrigan 6-0 in the second to score the clincher and seal the conference title for Embry-Riddle.

With the win, the Eagles secured an automatic bid to the NAIA National Championships in Mobile, Ala., May 15-19.

to center field to bring in JT Warmoth after Warmoth singled to begin the frame, then moved to second and third in the next two at-bats.

Warmoth made a nice play in the Gyrene third to rob Bobby Oliver of a probable double, gloving a hard-hit grounder at third and following with a perfect throw to Chris Page at first to record the out.

Two pitches later Jeff Lemon made a diving grab in right field to end the Gyrene third and send the game to the fourth.

Page started the visitor-half of the fourth with a single up the middle, moving to second when Frankie Arias singled to third base. Lemon was walked by AMU starter Ethan Striz to load the bases. Warmoth collected an RBI when he was hit by a Striz pitch, and Greg Smith brought in two more with a single to right-center, pushing the Eagle lead to 4-0.

Eaton stranded two Gyrenes on the

bases in the bottom of the fourth, ending his perfect game when he walked Pat Collins-Bride to begin the frame, and then his no-hitter when Alex Sanchez blooped a single to center.

However, Eaton got a fielder’s choice ground ball from Trace McDermott to end the inning, and preserved the ERAU lead.

The Blue and Gold stretched their lead to 5-0 in the sixth, plating an unearned run when a pair of errors allowed Matt Skipper to move from first all the way home in a single play.

The Eagles committed their own pair of errors in the home-half of the sixth as three Gyrene runs came across the plate, two of them unearned, cutting the Eagle lead to 5-3. The damage would have been worse if not for another impressive play by Warmoth at third base when he snagged a line drive off the bat of Aaron Pigna, ending the threat.

The seventh inning went by uneventful, but the Eagles got two runs back in the eighth, one on Romero’s double down the left field line and the

other when Ben Kline flew out to center field, allowing David Belardes, Adam Cellini’s courtesy runner, to touch home, making the score 7-3 in favor of the visitors.

Eaton faced the minimum in the bottom of the eighth, and ERAU added one more insurance run in the ninth as Warmoth doubled to left-center, scoring Arias from second.

Robbie Ratliff entered the game for the Eagles in the ninth, working a perfect inning to end the game and send the Eagles to their 8-3 win.

Eaton (5-4) pitched eight complete innings, allowing three runs (one earned) on five hits while fanning five batters.

Romero went 2-for6 with two RBIs and Warmoth finished 2-for4 with a pair of RBIs and two runs scored.

Smith drove in two runs and Kline collected the last RBI for the Eagles. Arias, Lemon, Skipper and Page all recorded two hits each.

Embry-Riddle takes care of Gyrenes in 8-3 Friday victory Austin Quinn

ERAU Athletics All but one Eagle starter collected a hit while Daniel Eaton tossed eight innings and allowed just one earned run in eighthranked Embry-Riddle’s 8-3 victory over Ave Maria (Fla.) on Friday afternoon.

The Eagles improve to 35-14 overall and 19-6 in The Sun Conference; the Gyrenes slip to 22-29 overall and 13-12 in league play.

A lightning and rain scare delayed the start time of the game until 4:45 p.m., nearly a two-hour delay from the original start time of 3 p.m. However, the wait didn’t seem to bother Eaton as the Warner Robbins, Ga. native was perfect through the first three innings.

Fifth ranked Eagles finish tied for third at Sun Conference Championship Austin Quinn

ERAU Athletics The fifth-ranked Embry-Riddle women's golf team shot 312 and finished tied for third Saturday at the 2012 Sun Conference Women's Golf Championship at LPGA International. The Eagles were able to erase four strokes from their first round of 316, but it was not enough as they were unable to capture the programs eighth conference championship.

The Blue and Gold finished the seven

team, 32-player tournament with a 36-hole total of 628 (316-312) 16 strokes back of the winner.

Fabys Barreto-Guzman and Connie Pitenis paced the Eagle women on the final day of play on LPGA International's Legends course. Barreto-Guzman, who was named to the All- Sun Conference Team for the second consecutive year, finished tied for sixth with a 156 (79-77).

The senior knocked down six birdie putts on the tournament and had an even 5.00 par five scoring average.

Pitenis, who earned All-Sun Conference honors for the first time as an Eagle, also garnered a top-10 finish coming in the clubhouse tied for eighth with a 157 (8077). The junior had 22 pars in the 36-hole tournament.

Pia Jekno and Heather Wiquist were the third and fourth low scorers for the No. 5 Eagles. Jenko finished two strokes back of Pitenis tied for 15th with a 159 (81-78), while Wiquist was one shot back of Jenko tied for 17th with a 160 (76-84).

Bea Serra, who was the only other Eagle

to be named to the All-Sun Conference team, battled back on the final day of play, shooting 80 after struggling with an 89 on Friday. The junior shaved nine strokes off of her first round score and finished in 22nd with a 169 (89-80).

Although the Eagles didn't bring home the title, the Eagle women still have a chance to make a run for a national championship as they have a chance at getting an at-large bid to the 2012 NAIA National Championship Tournament on May 17-20 in Greeneville, Tenn.

Italian Food With Some Class Alex Pearce

Food

Overall

When a new restaurant opens up in Daytona Beach, people usually won’t pay attention as it is likely to be another “sub-par” joint. This however is not the case with the new Italian restaurant named Mama Brava, which is located on 1500 Beville Road. It is located next to the Powerhouse gym in the Publix shopping market where you often see juice heads attempting to get their lift on.

Although only two months old, the atmosphere inside of Mama Brava makes you feel like it’s been a local restaurant for ages. When you walk in you are greeted by a nice old man who is likely to give you a free drink. They treat you the exact opposite way as the Marlins fans would greet Ozzie Guillen.

Thankfully the owners of this restaurant are from the north, so they actually know how to make food. Overall, the atmosphere is great, but what aboot the food? To start, there is a wide range of available items to choose from. Their menu includes various soups and salads,

garlic knots, fried mozzarella, chicken fingers, all different kinds of pastas, cold and hot sandwiches, Panini’s, fries, and all different types of world class pizza.

The pizza is thin crust style and the slices are quite large, even for this avid eater. Furthermore, the toppings combined with the pizza itself actually deliver a flavor that seems to be missing from some of the larger delivery chains. However, the signature item on their menu is the Stromboli which can be ordered in either a medium or 36in. portion, “winning.” The Stromboli has almost as much class as a free kick from Cristiano Ronaldo, sorry Barcelona fans.

Once you had your share, there is still more with one of their desserts, either a cannoli or tiramisu. Mama Brava may be off everyone’s radar as of now, but they’re about to shine in the dirty town that is Daytona Beach. I can only hope that you are there along with me to experience the ride.

Trouble In The Jungle, The Mighty Jungle

Chimpanzee

Floyd Perkinson

Entertainment Manager Chimpanzee is the sixth nature documentary from Disneynature which follows a chimp nicknamed Oscar struggling to survive in the rainforest of Africa. Although Chimpanzee is the sixth movie from Disneynature it is only the

fourth to be featured in US theatres.

Chimpanzee, like its predecessors, is a narration that tells a story and at the same time tries to raise awareness about nature in the audience. The film is narrated by the voice of Tim Allen, who was not able to project the charisma and distinctiveness other narrators have. Unlike Sir Patrick Stewart or James Earl Jones, Tim Allen does not have the presence of voice which the previous actors are known for. For Disneynature it should have been a clear sign that something was wrong when your movie was being narrated by Santa Claus.

Chimpanzee

in the forest moves and how the forest comes alive at night. The film showed the biodiversity of the rainforest from plants and insects to the apes which were the spotlight of the movie. The filming crew was able to capture shots of the chimpanzees during their everyday routine in the forest end even captured them several times interaction with the other inhabitants of the rainforest.

The spectacular shots of the rainforest and the amazing ability of the camera crew to film the chimps without intruding in their group earned Chimpanzee 4.5 airplanes out of 5. Chimpanzee is an interesting documentary about the lives and social behavior of chimps in the rainforests of Africa; if you are going to see this movie see it before Friday because for every ticket purchased, Disney will donate twenty cents to the Jane Goodall Institute to help protect chimpanzee habitats in Africa.

Lockout Burns Up During Entry

INSERT MOVIE TITLE

Floyd Perkinson

Entertainment Manager

Lockout is about a mega space prison where prisoners are kept in stasis, but one woman’s quest for attention puts thousands of lives in danger. The film stars Guy Pearce as Snow, who must sneak into an orbiting prison and rescue a hostage after a riot breaks out in order to earn his freedom.

Pearce was an excellent choice to portray the hardened Snow whose rough and fierce character make him the perfect choice to undertake the mission. Despite other actors’ shortcomings in the film Pearce was able to bring across the toughness of his character.

Although Pearce was a perfect match for his role, the movie required that the other actors pull their own acting weight in order for the acting to outshine its faults.

The plot of Lockout is simple enough to grasp: go to space, shoot through some inmates, rescue a girl, and come back to Earth; however in its applications the directors failed to bring that simplicity into the

filmmaking of the movie. Although most of the film takes place in space, the movie had hardly any scenes that took place outside the prison in the vacuum of space. Lockout could definitely have benefited with more action and fight scenes using the zero-gravity weightlessness of space.

The effects of the movie showed through the most on virtual view shots of stations and ships in space. Not enough effects were used for the action in Lockout resulting in a displaced environment that did not fit with the setting.

Lockout could have easily been a successful film but without any development of the action, the movie was doomed to fail. The underdone action scenes and the one sided acting in Lockout earned this movie 3 airplanes out of 5.if you were planning on seeing Lockout, save your money for the avengers which will definitely have enough action and effects

working together with good acting.
