Not all airline safety videos are created equal. As a decently traveled traveler, most that I've seen have been pretty standard, mundane and not exactly exciting to watch.
But! I suppose it only makes sense that Air New Zealand gets Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings-style treatment.
I'm for serious. PETER JACKSON AND ELIJAH WOOD ARE IN IT. THERE ARE ORCS AND A GATHERING OF ARMIES. WATCH NOW:
So there's that.
As I'm currently reading The Lord of the Rings, I can definitely appreciate this safety video.
And as a bonus, maybe I have engineering experience in airline seats, perhaps the very ones seen throughout the video. No big deal.
One safety video to epic them all.
