Not what it was made out to be

Rating: 3/10 (15 January 2014)

I have been looking forward to watching this movie for sometime as I have heard rave reviews about it time and again. For starters, it was one of the "flattest" movies I have seen in a long time, the characters were bland, predictable, and utterly Hollywood cliché throughout. The story line was just moronic and unbelievable. I am not a pilot, and know nothing of the technical aspect of aviation, but it just seems a bit far fetched. Although I could be wrong on that assumption. The storyline was not reliant on the believability of the aviation "heroics" anyways. Suffice to say, I left the room on multiple occasions for several minutes at a time, and I never really lost track of what was happening.
