Sully is a pretty decent movie ... 6-7/10 maybe
I don't really like Tom Hanks. But he did a pretty good
job with Hologram For The King and Sully. The story is
a good one, and the human look at Sully and the exploration
of what heroism is is well done and mature.
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.
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.
