tonyh29 Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 (edited) Sully last night when I first saw the trailers for this I wondered how the heck you stretch the events out into a film but tbf Eastwood did a pretty decent job , probably one more for plane Geeks than one that you take the Mrs to though. If the landing events portrayed in the film are accurate , and from reading of events it appears that it is ,then those people can thank their lucky stars he happened to be the pilot that day ... people in the cinema clapped Star Wars when it ended on sat , I kinda felt the urge to clap sully after that landing ... I'd go so far as to say Sully would probably do the Kessel run in less than 10 parsecs boring fact amongst many but watched this with my mate who got the phone call minutes after the plane went down to lock down all the engine data , seems engine data by and large is open to just about anyone within the organisation he works for (maintenance crews and what not ) so he had to hide it before it was leaked ...

hogso Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 I watched Sully too yesterday, very much worth my time I found, but as you say the girly got a bit bored in parts. It basically boiled down to 'so he was right then' for her. Man, I really do love Tom Hanks though. What a guy. I'll be really sad when he goes, but I imagine he has many movies left in him yet.

Designer1 Posted December 20, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted December 20, 2016 One of my biggest surprises of 2014 was how much I enjoyed John Wick. Perfect action fodder. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it was a real surprise hit and some of the gunplay scenes were incredible . The sequel looks like a great supporting cast as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 One of the worst, most hateful films I've ever seen. One of a very small, select group of movies where I left the cinema almost shaking with anger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume it's about as accurate as possible. The cockpit dialogue is word for word what they actually said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
