Up in the Air is a story about Ryan Bingham (George Clooney), a corporate downsizing and career transition expert. He is also an inspirational speaker. He loves the life on the road racking up miles towards his ultimate goal, to be part of the exclusive American Airlines' 10 million frequent flyer mile club.
During one of his travels, he meets Alex Goran (Vera Farmiga), another frequent flyer and decided to have a casual relationship with her. They synchronized their schedule to ensure that they will be able to meet again.
Meanwhile, Ryan was called back to CTC's office in Nebraska. They would soon find out about the plan cost-cutting by the Craig Gregory (Jason Bateman), the company's boss. He hired Natalie Keener (Anna Kendrick) who wants to introduced laying off people over the internet thus reducing their travel expenses. Ryan was against this and Craig decided to do an experiment - Ryan brings Natalie along to show him the ropes.
During their travels, Natalie gets dump by her boyfriend. Ryan visits his family to see his sister get marriend. Ryan then falls in love with Alex only to find out the she already has a family and was only doing this for fun. In the end, Craig shelves the technology and sends Ryan and his co-workers back on the road.
The movie was pretty good. The plot is simple - in order to achieve what you want, you need to make sacrifices. In the movie Ryan's sacrifices settling down in the pursuit of his goal. George Clooney was great in depicting his character. Props should also be given to Anna Kendrick who complimented Clooney's sauve with her wittiness. Vera was also amazing with portraying her character. The film was easy to follow . The visuals weren't great since it was either the airport, in a airplane or at an office. But overall, the movie is worth every buck.
