I'm a sucker for all things Tom Hanks and also love aviation stories so this is right up my alley. I imagine it'll be a better version of that movie Denzel did.

It's not showing on RottenTomatoes. Any hearing any industry buzz about whether it should be a good one or not?

I'm a little confused by it... it's a story about a crash landing right after takeoff... and we all know how that ends.

So... where's the drama?

I know that Sully and the crew did a bunch of press tour things after, like throwing out a first pitch, but how is that going to make for a good movie?

I'm fascinated by the story of the Miracle on the Hudson River.

But I have no desire to see whatever the hell this movie is about.

I am excited for it.
I love the entire story but what we have publically seen isn't everything.
Evidently all the behind the scenes drama is what is making up a large part of this movie so yeah I cant wait.

Same here and I loved Flight. I am sure there's lots of behind the scenes investigation we never knew about, but overall we know the plane landed safely and we know Sully is still deemed a hero.

This is when I wish the studio would've made a movie about a lesser known, less recent event.

This is what makes me nervous. I hope it's not a lame witch chase that they use to fabricate the drama, but all trailers seem to point to that.

I think it will bomb

A 2 hour drawn out movie about a 10 minute event about taking off and landing a plane.

He's a great American, but don't give two shits about the lead up or follow up of his life or his book tour.

Totally the same thing.

Also why I've never seen Titanic or bothered to slog through Band of Brothers.
