Sully (2016)

Surprisingly incoherent and boring

i must have seen a different film!!

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

I've always been very interested about aviation accidents and I've watched pretty much EVERY episode of Air Crash Investigations -TV program. And there is one story which most of us recognize and / or remembers, including myself. Yes, this movie tells the very same story. About the emergency landing on freezing water with almost full passenger plane.When I first saw this movie, I was like "Oh wow, there is actual movie out of it. It must be great." And then I looked cast "Oh my GOD, and my absolute favorite character (Tom Hanks) on the main role! Now I MUST watch it!" And yeah I did that.It turned out to be pretty different than I expected. I was expecting more catastrophe film like The Perfect Storm" or Titanic or something like that. To be honest, I didn't like those "hallucinations" and different memories that pilot saw. It's kind of weird that it shows the accident by piece by piece. But however, I understand it because this story was more on the pilot's side. I mean the investigation that focused on human errors. And it was great to see how they managed to fight back. And here, Tom Hanks really nails it again. Just gotta love every role he acts. He just is excellent actor, no matter what role.In the end, movie still turned to be very great, although I didn't get quite what I expected.

... and don't watch it when you're not on a plane, either.My first thought was, how could they spin a story like this out into a gripping, full-length feature film.My second thought was, they couldn't.

Very well done! The film is just like the real Sully himself (who always says he was just doing his job) - no fuss, no melodrama, no glorification of the man but just plain story telling that is absolutely entertaining. The film covers the actual events of Hudson landing, and then the aftermath of it all for Sully's career as a pilot and his reputation. The visuals and sound effects that take you through the events in the plane culminating in a Hudson landing are extraordinary. You really feel like you need to brace for impact! And this is while watching on Netflix. Must have been an amazing experience in the theatre. Tom Hanks and Aaron Eckhart are perfect in their roles. Rest of the cast did a great job too. Wonder how this film wasn't popular in the awards circuit. I mean here is an amazingly well told story of a remarkable man who did not panic under tremendous pressure, calmly made an excellent split second decision and saved so many lives and the Academy found nothing good in it? Cannot understand how they overlooked Clint Eastwood, Tom Hanks and the film itself.

So I saw Sully and found it very well done. It had really cool reenactments of the airplane crash both as sorrow for the passengers and as special effects recreating the crash. It also was very well paced. I would've liked to know Sully's family more and it didn't have an ending. It just stopped, but was mostly very entertaining.
