An airport sign at the top: "George Clooney", "Up in the Air", "From the Director of 'Juno' and 'Thank You For Smoking'". Three travelers silhouette from left to right: Natalie Keener (Kendrick), Ryan Bingham (Clooney), Alex Goran (Farmiga). At the bottom, tagline: "The story of a man ready to make a connection." and "Arriving this December".

George Clooney and Anna Kendrick starred in the comedy-drama together. Amazing right?

Synopsis:
The story is about the life of Ryan Bingham (George Clooney), a Downsizer that was paid by the bosses who cowardly fire his employee. Ryan Bingham's life was spent in his travels by plane. His journey accompanied by a new employee in his company named Natalie Keener (Anna Kendrick) who are still young and fragile.

Anna Kendrick was 24 in this movie and she got her first Oscar nomination. Anna Kendrick’s and George Clooney’s performance are very good in this movie. Their acting is not very emotionally but still interesting to watch. Both earned Oscar nominations for the film.

The interesting element about this film is told about Downsizer profession or a profession that paid to fire employees. The film also discusses how they deal with their inner conflict as experienced Natalie who is new to the job.

The storyline is very simple and straightforward. The storyline is quite fast and solid. This film not only tells about their profession, but also their personal lives. What is interesting is about Ryan's family with all the conflicts that they have faces.

Many lessons and philosophy of life that can be taken in this movie
