Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.
crsunblast The movie is enjoyable to watch and gives a good impression of what must go on inside the mind of a pilot after such a spectacular accident. The depiction of the actual ditching (landing in the water) and the conversation between the pilots and controllers is quite accurate, and with CGI, quite believable.However, the depiction of the investigative process, including the behavior of the investigators, is not realistic at all. I have worked as a professional pilot and air accident investigator for most of my life, and the investigation as depicted in this film is pure fiction.In several interviews with the director, Clint Eastwood, he admitted that the movie needed a villain or antagonist, so he chose to depict the investigators and the investigative process as much more hostile than it really is.

adam-may-bower 'Sully' director Clint Eastwood strongly adapts the real-life story of an everyday hero. When adapting a true story to the big screen, there are a million and one things that could go wrong, but Clint Eastwood manages to avoid any major ones. In particular, Eastwood manages to make a plane crash incident that lasted only a few minutes long into a full length film that doesn't drag on and have unnecessary scenes. It is evident that the movie's focus is on the humanitarian aspect of the story, not the actual plane crash. In saying this, with the main focus being on the hero pilot Capt. Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger, a good actor is needed, and Tom Hanks, hands down, knocks this role out of the park. He delivers a realistic and honest performance that brings the character alive and is one of the main reasons this movie is so good. The combination of Eastwood's solid directing and Hank's strong performance, 'Sully' ends being a great film that tells an inspiring story of a real human being.
sergelamarche Very well done film. This is probably the best recreation of an accident I have ever seen and with the best outcome. Plane accidents rarely end up well at all and recreating them would be a downer. Alive comes to mind but it was survival story after the crash and does not end up well for most of them. Sully is basically the story of what can happen when the best of them comes together and are in the right place to do so. A great occasion to be bright and heroic. In the dvd extras, they mention the contrast with the market crash and the greed normally prevalent in NY city, causing it. There are people that do not just want to get filthy rich quickly or screw up other people or use the system.
