Very well done! The film is just like the real Sully himself (who always says he was just doing his job) - no fuss, no melodrama, no glorification of the man but just plain story telling that is absolutely entertaining. The film covers the actual events of Hudson landing, and then the aftermath of it all for Sully's career as a pilot and his reputation. The visuals and sound effects that take you through the events in the plane culminating in a Hudson landing are extraordinary. You really feel like you need to brace for impact! And this is while watching on Netflix. Must have been an amazing experience in the theatre. Tom Hanks and Aaron Eckhart are perfect in their roles. Rest of the cast did a great job too. Wonder how this film wasn't popular in the awards circuit. I mean here is an amazingly well told story of a remarkable man who did not panic under tremendous pressure, calmly made an excellent split second decision and saved so many lives and the Academy found nothing good in it? Cannot understand how they overlooked Clint Eastwood, Tom Hanks and the film itself.

Movie Review: "Sully" (2016)Actor Tom Hanks, director Clint Eastwood and supreme support actor Aaron Eckhart deliver a biopic drama of a 2009 real New York event in stunning up, close and personal cinematography by Eastwood's long-time collaborator Tom Stern captured on Arri's at that time newly-received Alexa 65, mimciking a digital image system of 1950s "VistaVision", which at special revenue places; especially in New York as Los Angeles, create their full cinematic power of conviction toward the charactarization of commercial flight captain Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger, who in capable acting beats of full-range-playing actor Tom Hanks comes to pass as human, making the inevitable call at in extreme situation with casual as presumingly innocent lives at stakes, which takes this "HBO" television movie-like to the finish line of being an all-around crowd-pleaser.FAZIT: Picture approved (allrounder)Copyright 2018 Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC

One of the most remarkable incidents of the 2000s was when U.S. Airways Flight 1549 landed in the Hudson River on January 15, 2009. All of the 155 passengers on the plane survived. This dramatization of the incident, starring Tom Hanks, tells the story of Captain Chesley Sullenberger, who pulled off the Miracle on the Hudson, as it's called. Hanks gives a solid performance as Sully, who is conflicted as to whether or not he endangered the lives of all of the people on board. Aside from the incident itself, most of the movie is dedicated to the debate over whether or not the plane could potentially have returned to LaGuardia. The FAA is made out to be a villain of sorts. Some may argue that this is not as interesting as the incident itself, or that it isn't good movie material. It still works as a film, as it is more about Sully himself than anything else. Director Clint Eastwood does a great job at telling the story, by cutting the incident into several scenes and having the rest be about how it affected Sully's life, and that of his family. After the incident, Sully himself had to deal with PTSD, as well as the stress of instantly becoming a celebrity. His wife and daughters also had to deal with a constant bombardment of attention from the press. This is the focal point of the movie. It's about the people, not the incident. In that regard, it is a very good movie, but if you're expecting it to be about the incident itself, go watch any of the documentaries made about it.
