Critic Reviews

It is images such as these—a ghost ship flying into the night, its passengers either dead or terrified—that make "MH370" more than just a gripping investigation or a nonfiction thriller. There is an element of horror in a case in which nothing is settled, and no one gets to rest in peace.

Where “MH370” succeeds is in laying out the case for three key theories and leaving it to the viewer to determine which is the most plausible.

MH370: The Plane that Disappeared is strongest in its early going, when it focuses on the initial reaction to, and analysis of, the plane’s vanishing. ... Enter MH370: The Plane that Disappeared’s rampant conjecture! ... Malkinson’s docuseries makes plain, we may never figure out what happened to MH370, and such ignorance will continue to serve as the catalyst for fictional fantasies that keep false hope alive and create opportunities for profit. Even if, in the end, they offer little genuine solace.

Stream it if you’re into all the conspiracy theories surrounding the disappearance of MH370. Otherwise, MH370: The Plane That Disappeared will just be frustrating to anyone seeking concrete answers.
