Sully The Movie
 

Worth a look at for those interested in them flying machine devices.

Thought the whole thing was great, thought I cringed in true pilot nerd fashion at the sim sessions.

'fpv on!', so she changes the range on the ND. Lol what?

Then we she crashes it into a building, selects full reverse. Yep, that'll help! Haha.

Loved the selection of reverse.

First aviation movie that I can recall that made any attempt to get aviation right. And if you've ever been involved in an incident, it was all too close to home.

Recommended.

Certainly worth viewing. Tom Hanks did a fine job as Sully, IMHO. The open court scene towards the end of the film with the NTSB Board trying to nail Sully and his co-pilot to the floor, was the best part.

I really enjoyed it, the aviation related subjects were surprisingly accurate for a Hollywood production who normally even struggle to keep aircraft types consistent. Well worth a look.

Hollywood bull****, you might want to read the NTSB's comments on this.

I still think Whip Whitaker was the better Hollywood pilot character

Well said. Hollywood always needs a "bad guy", believing conflict advances any story, and they've been using various government agencies in this role forever.

The notion of objective, dedicated pros/experts existing within an government Agency is one they view with cynicism, despite the fact that so much knowledge and foundation of what we do to enhance safety and mitigate threats in aviation comes directly from decades of accident investigations conducted by them. Historically, the NTSB has found fault or identified causes for accidents that have as much to do with Company deficiencies and FAA oversight as they have with individual pilots crewing an accident aircraft. In many ways, their techniques are the basis for the broad-based approach to identifying ALL causal factors that we expect today, not just the forensic expertise.

Sad the producers felt the need to try and cast the NTSB as the "opposing force" just because there wasn't an obvious choice of person, Corporation, or the FAA to fill the role. Completely unnecessary, and unfounded.

Have just seen the movie

Has to one of the best and authentic aviation movie ever made.

Highly recommended :ok::ok::D:D:}

Since when is CAsA (the regulator) doing accident investigation which is the preserve of the ATSB.

CAsA can't get the regulatory environment right so how on earth would they be any better at accident investigation.

total bs storyline. typical hollywood. cant find enough drama in the most dramatic events imaginable, so they feel the need to make things up:

otoh, i enjoyed the heck out of the flight scenes. i flew the 320 and out of laguardia many times. better sully than me.

It is an indictment on the writer/producer etc that they cannot write a script around an exciting event and keep it factual AND interesting. I agree that's modern media. (Not just Hollywood) having said that it is not a documentary it's a movie.

Don't forget the fact that it was directed by Clint Eastwood with vast amount of experience....unlike the muppets made the Transformers ..:yuk:

Havn't seen it yet, though having read about the dishonest story line I won't be wasting my money on it. Yet more Hollywood shiyte for the muppets to watch..:hmm:




.

I suspect that although an exciting event in and of itself it probably didn't have the elements that make for an engaging story, e.g., character growth and some kind of adversity to overcome.

Looking forward to seeing it. I like Tom hanks.
Going on Wednesday, 100 baht at the local cinema ( £2) bargain!
And you can take your own beer and nibbles in.

I look foward to watching it.
Really? Have you seen "Whisky Romeo Zulu"?

Damn Yag, beat me by 40 minutes (from when I started typing). :)
Brilliant movie but not surprising considering the writer, director and actor (all the same person) was a pilot for the airline in the movie. Well worth watching IMO. :ok:


Whisky Romeo Zulu is available on YouTube but in Spanish. If you click on the link at the start of this line it may assist in getting English subtitles for the excellent movie. I believe it's also available on Netflix with English subtitles.

I usually avoid Eastwood-directed flicks, but was talked into seeing this one last night and loved it. Hanks outstanding. Verisimilitude outstanding. Highly recommended.
