Apologies. I was less than 100% articulate. A common failure of the existant medium, and a reason I've backed WAY off the interwebs.
Pilots born pre-1980 MAY/SHOULD love this film. Pilots born AFTER 1980 MIGHT like this film. Your mileage may vary.
Based on a completely unscientific review of the movie goers around me at my personal viewing, I'd say that movie goers of a "certain age" seemed enthralled.
Others, with their kids (and their constantly referenced "smart" phones) in tow, seemed bored beyond belief.
I plead "middle age". If, as a child, you too looked at astronauts, navy pilots, model rocketry, engineering, nerves of steel, and nigh-unsurrmountable technical challenges as amazing things....you will enjoy this.
I took no offense and figured it was just a social media communication barrier. But one can never miss a good opportunity for humor.
I love history and anything to do with humankind’s innovation/daring/courage etc. If you have Netflix, be sure to check out Medal of Honor. My 10 year old son binge watched it.
