"Skyjacked" doesn't have the Irwin Allen trademarks, like ginormous budgets or cartoonesque villains and cowards. The body count is far too low and there aren't any spectacular special effects or stunts. Quite often, "Skyjacked" even balances on the verge of boring, and that is totally unacceptable for a (pseudo-) disaster movie.
Skyjacked is nowhere near the top of the disaster movie list. That honor still goes to The Towering Inferno , the Citizen Kane of the genre. However, it is nowhere near the worst (see Irwin Allen's The Swarm - the most awful "bee" movie ever made).
