What you seem to forget is that its an advert for a faceless conglomerate that would do absolutely anything to make money.

A cynical view? Probably. A realistic view? Most definitely.

It screams "welcome back to the UK as you couldnt get roaming abroad you should have your signal back now" (only after figuring out that its a mobile phone network add )

Difficult not to feel good when you see something like that full of happy people enjoying themselves.

Funnily enough, that did not seem to matter in the slightest. Easy enough to work out though.

I usually get moved by any old rubbish (I had a little tear at Toy Story 3) - I have to day this didn't do that much for me.

A take off of the opening scene of Love Actually (which did move me).

Trouble is that its T5 at Heathrow, mainly all long haul flights, I really doubt that there were many people getting off the plane that could give a to55 what was going on as most would be tired/jetlagged
Its well done, just has no point to prove and does not really do anything for T Mobile, which is good for the competition

I think most people were just interested in the film anyway. Can't see any point in bothering to criticise from the point of view of advertising..

I really don't get the cynicism and negativity by some on sure.

Sure, its a commercial from a corporation, but it could easily have been about how many minutes,texts and phone prices like all the other mobile networks.

I think the real joy here is the happiness it bought to the people this event was sprung upon, if you think the people getting off the plane didnt like it then watch the public feedback video here

Lighten up guys
