Impressive!

Rating: 9/10 (3 December 2016)

I was sort of mixed to excited about this film. Usually when it's a based-off-a-true story type I like it, but when it's directed by the likes of Clint Eastwood or Martin Scorsese you can't help but think that it's going to be overrated & more suited to older people or just a boring film that wins awards & aims to be boring in order to be great. But this film was actually really good!
The film is about a pilot who lands a plane into the Hudson River in New York City after both turbine engines are destroyed when a flock full of birds fly directly into them shortly after take off on the 15th January 2009. The film then follows onto the court case Sully went through as they question why he chose to land the plane in the river & not fly back to the airport as instructed. The film goes through ups & downs but Sully succeeds in the end!
Like I said, I really liked this film! It was really good & explained the story well, though it was a bit confusing at first & at some other points. I wanted to watch this film anyway as it was: A. Something new (I'm a cinema goer) & B. Because I heard good things about it, though was thinking & sort of predicting it was going to be overrated as films like this usually are. But this wasn't.
I found the film to be quite good & very moving! It also locked you & kept you engrossed! I also liked the way Sully delivered the explanation of the flight simulation being invalid at the end of the film! It came out well & was exactly what I was also thinking as I was watching!
It was surprisingly good & not something I'd say about a film of this calibre as I usually either write them off as overrated or crap! But this one was a pleasant surprise! And for once, I'm not being sarcastic!
I overall would give this a film 9/10, it was well put together & really great watch! Go see it! It's great!
