Let's hear your review of 'Sully'

Haven't seen it yet. Thought I'd hear from a few others before deciding if it's worth seeing. Spoil away...

I could have done without some of the images of airplanes crashing into the NYC skyline. Poor timing for the release.

Save your money. You know what happens, the rest of the movie is weak filler designed to keep non aviation folks interested for 90 minutes. Flight with Denzel was better.

I sort of laughed at the part where Sully and his wife were talking about financial problems...about where the next paycheck would come from. I was thinking...boy, why is their pay so low? Then I realized USAPA did that to them.

Or that the purpose of his wife was to man the kitchen the entire movie and look worried while on the phone. They could have used his family a bit better.

Was it just me, or did they try to give the impression that Sully was holed up at the Marriott the entire time the NTSB investigation was going on? They made it look like Sully never went home and they wrapped the whole investigation up within a week.

Was FO Skiles marginalized or nonexistent as much as he was in the media when the accident went down?

I don't think he was marginalized. There was a touchy feely scene where him and Sully talked and Sully basically said we did this together. Skiles had a few one liners that showed his sense of humor.
