If you want to see a good movie with substance skip this one!

Rating: 1/10 (22 November 2012)

First, at two hours and eighteen minutes it was one hour too long. They could have easily cut an hour from the movie and lost nothing. It was so slow paced that it became boring.
Second, there were far too many plot holes. Without giving away too much there is no way that hospital nurse would have allowed herself to be thrown out of a patients room by a guest of the patient; a lawyer would have risked being disbarred by been directly involved in the activities he was a direct party too; the NTSB would not have functioned the way they were shown; the news media would have been all over the pilot trailing and hounding him from the start; and the pilot in the end would have never done what he did without out some motivating influence that just wasn't there. It just wasn't believable.
Third, the portrayal of Christians was just rude and offensive. It was as if Hollywood looked at the success of movies like Fireproof, Courageous, and Facing the Giants and said "hey, these Christians go to see religious movies so let's cash in on that and make a godly looking movie." And like so many things Hollywood has no interest in or understanding of but make movies about anyway, it was totally devoid of any spiritual aspect. One Christian character in the movie shouts out "Praise Jesus" twice and both times it is so outlandish and ridiculous that the audience in the theater we saw it in broke out in laughter each time and the second time there was a continued murmuring that lasted the rest of the scene.
If you want to see a good heart-lifting movie go see one of the ones I mentioned above but don't waste your money on this one. It's not even work a $1 Redbox rental.
