A perfect disaster

Rating: 1/10 (7 January 2017)

I always give a rating that attempts to raise or lower the overall rating, because this has 7.5 currently. Had it been much less, below 7, I would not have wasted my time, so it is through this sense of altruism that I extend my compassion to you all and try to lower it and save you time.
This movie was so 'by the numbers' I started counting them in order to relieve the boredom.
Like the crash landing itself, it was grinding and creaking - only this was during the movie's take off. Such a non-event and nondescript start. At least it lowers your expectations for the rest of the movie to a suitable level.
Then jump to the actual event about 20 minutes in, then jump to the Sully's seemingly irrelevant past - if it was relevant then it should have been more consequential.
He is a good pilot. We get it. A serious person. We get that too. A boring sort of serious person that you want flying your plane when both engines go. Check.
A damn good pilot. We get that too. Over and over... until you wished it was all over and out already.
The air safety investigators where flawed, .. oh, .. didn't see that one coming. JeezzZZ ZZzz ... zzZZzzZZzzZZzz
What's the moral of the story? If both engines go when you are flying a plane, be sure to have 42 years of boring experience behind you, and keep your uniform on for quite a while after the event, and people will say something like "what a great, boring pilot, the exact kind your need if both engines go .. & "why in the heck did they bother to make a Hollywood movie out of this?" Yet another reason to seek out a foreign movie to challenge your sensibilities, or just go for walk instead.
