VarietyGuy LodgeJun 15, 2020
For its first half, 7500 is briskly effective in a cold-sweat sort of way, carrying its audience from a smooth takeoff to the first signs of disturbance to swiftly cranked all-out terror with the kind of nervy efficiency you can admire without exactly taking pleasure in it. In more ways than one, however, Vollrath’s technically adroit film has trouble sticking the landing. Read full review

The Film StageLeonardo GoiJun 15, 2020
Take it as a real-time thriller, an intelligently crafted study in cinematic minimalism, and 7500 works. The trouble starts when Vollrath’s feature debut (a follow-up to his 2015 Oscar-nominated short Everything Will Be Okay) attempts the landing. Read full review

Rolling StonePeter TraversJun 18, 2020
Your chances for enjoying this will depend on giving up a search for depth and just strapping in for a B-movie hell ride. Read full review

In the end, it feels more like a cheap trick than a study in filmmaking restrictions or an actor's showcase. Worst of all, it’s always reminding the viewer of its construction, relying on shaky camerawork to produce tension but failing to do so, and almost defiant in its lack of actual characters.

Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperJun 17, 2020
Unfortunately, not even Gordon-Levitt’s stellar work can sustain a well-made but ultimately underwhelming docudrama from first-time German writer-director Patrick Vollrath. Read full review

The A.V. ClubShannon MillerJun 16, 2020
Just as Tobias can’t escape the tragedy unfolding just beyond the cockpit door, 7500 struggles to overcome some unfortunate and very outdated optics. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterBoyd van HoeijJun 15, 2020
Intended as a 90-minute nail-biter, the movie starts off strong but loses steam about halfway through and never quite recovers. Read full review

Screen RantSandy SchaeferJun 15, 2020
Despite the clever setup for this (almost) single-setting B-movie, some half-baked plotting and unfortunate stereotyping keep 7500 grounded. Read full review

Slant MagazinePat BrownJun 15, 2020
Convenient plot twists undermine its early pretense that it’s aiming for something other than to exploit our deepest, most regressive fears. Read full review

The New York TimesGlenn KennyJun 18, 2020
One thing Vollrath does well is create a credibly claustrophobia-inducing atmosphere. Then again, when you restrict your camera to the inside of a cockpit, you’d have to be pretty incompetent not to. Read full review

Arizona RepublicNicole LuddenJun 17, 2020
While the movie does have some of the twists and turns audience members want in a thriller, they're all sluggishly drawn out. Read full review

The GuardianBenjamin LeeJun 17, 2020
For fans of joyless screaming and stabbing, there might be something here worth your time but for those who expect more thrills from their thrillers or at least something close to a purpose, 7500 is a flight worth missing. Read full review
