A very human and down to Earth movie ( no pun intended )

Rating: Null/10 (21 May 2017)

I don't really like Tom Hanks. But he did a pretty good job with Hologram For The King and Sully. As he has aged he has more depth and gravitas, but I will still mostly avoid him. This story or Sully Sullenberger is a good one, and the human look at Sully and the exploration of what heroism is is well done and mature. Wow, that is nice to see in a movie again.
It's hard to find a mature sensible good movie these days. Most things are so childish and infantile, movies and TV most of them anyway are pretty bad.
Sully was good. It was not over the top, and it was about a real person, and I think, as far as I know, the story was fairly faithful to what happened.
Of course they have to do an inquiry, and these things are done with respect to what the news and people will think. Who knows, maybe it's possible that Sully could have landed in a different more safe way, but I would never blame something who was piloting a plane with no engines for taking the quickest most direct route to a landing, and I think that is what he did. Portraying the isolation of someone who has all eyes on him was really done well - that is the humanity of Sully, the man and the movie.
I am not so sure I would be able to watch this again, but it was worth watching once, and maybe I will go back and watch it with my girlfriend because I think she would like it. What was good is that I think this movie makes you feel just like the passengers on that flight would have felt. Whenever I am on a plane and the slightest little bump or noise happens, I get freaked out, so when you are back on the ground it is nice to know you didn't have to worry.
To get a high rating from me a movie has to have a pretty good point, or message, and be worth watching again, and be of high quality. This was pretty close.
I thought Aaron Eckert did a good job too.
Sully 7/10
