Description

On January 15, 2009, the world witnessed the "Miracle on the Hudson" when Captain "Sully" Sullenberger (Hanks) glided his disabled plane onto the frigid waters of the Hudson River, saving the lives of all 155 aboard. However, even as Sully was being heralded by the public and the media for his unprecedented feat of aviation skill, an investigation was unfolding that threatened to destroy his reputation and his career.

The entire premise of the movie is made up (NTSB out to get Sully). Consequently, so much other stuff in the movie is made up to support that premise. It's awful. There is a real story here to draw upon. Eastwood chose his made-up story instead. If you can't make a good film out of the REAL story, then you have a REAL problem as a film maker. Clint Eastwood has done some GREAT films. Sadly, this is not only not one of them. It is lazy, cheap film-making. He embarasses himself with this film, and sullies his reputation (pun intended).

Extraordinary movie

This film was so good that when the credits started rolling I was confused -- I thought only 40 minutes had gone by!
Easily best motion picture of 2016.
Tom Hanks. Best Actor.
Clint Eastwood. Best Director.
A friend of mine who works for the FAA is so upset by the "whipped up" drama (like insinuating Sully might have been drinking the night before) that he will not discuss the film..

A very good movie, but a bit emotionally "muted." I think this is a great story, but it missed the "personal" edge that connects viewers to the characters. It could have been make into really something great; as it is, it is still very good.

You see Tom Hanks as headliner and your expectations rise to the max...then you watch the movie. Ugh. If it had not been based on actual events that were extraordinary, this movie would've been another yawn. As it was it was meh. Drama where drama didn't exist in real life and the actual real life shocker event was a slapdash few minutes. Hate to say it but don't waste your time or money on this one.

I watched Sully this evening and I must say that it was a fantastic film. The acting was superb, the story was well thought and conveyed through an intelligent script, the pace of the film was perfect as it didn't waste valuable time over dramatizing any scenes (a trend Hollywood is notoriously known for doing with its true story depictions), the cinematography at times was breathtaking, and it was a film with some suspense, but no real violence or bad language. This was a welcome change of pace to the average Hollywood blockbuster. Starring Tom Hanks and directed by Clint Eastwood. I highly recommend this film

This was an excellent movie right from the beginning. It showed a perspective of what it is like for the pilot of a plane that has just experienced a horrific incident. I never would've considered the emotions, thoughts and experiences that a pilot would have if I had not seen this.
There were some actual scenes from the actual landing on the Hudson. Wow. What a miraculous landing.
I highly recommend this movie!!!

It's amazing that Capt. Sully successfully executed a water landing. Nevertheless, there isn't much of a story there. Although Sully did testify before the National Transportation Safety Board, all the drama is completely unjustified and thus it becomes very boring.

I was a good movie and a true story.
With that said, the only reason why the critics bagged on it was simple: political/elitist bias. They clearly hate Clint Eastwood because he refuses to conform to what Hollywood wants all movies to be. Get over yourselves.
Ignore all of that, and you have a true story shown in film form by actors that know how. That's it.

I was hesitant to rent this at first, thinking "How could a movie about a plane crash be worth watching?" This movie is so much more. I don't typically cry during movies but the acting and effects are so perfect that it's hard not to put yourself in the moment. It was one of the greatest movies I've ever watched.

Sully was criticized for performing a miracle. Eastwood was criticized for making what I think is a good film.
Dear GOD, why can't every plane crash had ended the same way---living members showcased at the end of a great film and the film to be a catalyst for such a great visualization.

Okay, I had my doubts. I am not the biggest Tom Hanks fan. I love him as a persoanlity, not always his movies. I was not captivated by Captain Phillips as semmingly the rest of America was. Before watching Sully, I expected 96 minutes of a long, drawn-out plane crash. Boy, was I wrong! This movie is suspensful, riveting, and surprsingly emotional. Tom Hanks as Captian Sullenberger is fantastic. I recommend it to anyone (13 and older, of course).

Tom Hanks does it!

There has been a recent change in the SD vs. HD. Not only have rental prices gone up for both, but SD is now presented in a weird TERRIBLE resolution with screen going totally pixelated on and off. Like to show you, this is what you could have for an extra dollar. So annoying! Exactly as Apple planned I'm sure. I'm done. There are other options for watching on line. Adios Apple. You just lost a long time customer. Penny wise and pound foolish decision.

The movie was ok, short and to the point. The best part is experiencing the crash with those involved and knowing that there is accuracty to it. That being said, this could have been a documentary or documdrama instead and it would have had the same effect. This wasn't as good a movie as it could have been, it was instead extremely average.

We remembered the story from the news, but did not realize the scrunity that followed with the FAA. Watched it first with my adult daughters who all were amazed by the story.Then watched again with my husband. Both times spellbound by the actions. In usual form, Clint Eastwood along with Tom Hanks have delivered a masterful story in a craftsman style. Loved it.
Hope its up for Oscar.

worth watching tom hanks always does an amazing job :) so i had no doubt that the movie was not gonna be good. i guess the moral of the movie suggested that even though they believed that the plane shouldve landed at the airport hence runaway that it really did not matter because all 155 lives were safe and breathing. the movie teaches us not to overhtink in a way i guess.

I have no choice to rate this movie a 0 because the iTunes Store set the download time at 4 hours to play this movie. This seems odd given that I stream Netflix, Hulu, HBO, Showtime, etc. to my AppleTV all day everyday and they are ready in real time. I'd love some insight on this massive screwup by Apple.

Having lived in NY this event was obviously a big deal, however, I'm not sure people removed from the surrounding area really understand the heroics of the incident. Eastwood did a wonderful job portraying the fight that went on behind the scenes- something I didn't realize was happening at the time. Would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to witness a modern day miracle told beautifully by a great director!

This is absolutely a GREAT story. I think Tom Hanks did a great job portraying Sully. It really shows that even though Sully was under high stress, he was always very composed. It's a very good story...kudos to the producers and actors/actresses...it's been a long time since Hollywood has made a movie that is just a great story without all the blood/guts/killing/horror...It was a very inspiring movie of how we should all behave under the worst of conditions...

This is the most tedious and drawn out movie i have ever watched. The constant flitting between present and past numbs any kind of emotion besides complete boredom. Any viewer knows the facts of the incident that happened and i was interested to see how that would be translated into a movie which was a total waste of money.the saturation filters create a sombre murky mood from start to finish.

Boring, flat, and just an overall lousy movie. Nothing major happens, the whole movie is overstreched to compensate for the lack of material. This is by far Clint Eastwood's WORST!

I saw this in the theater and thought it was great. Talk aobut a true American hero. This man and his co-pilot saved 155 people from virtually certain death. You all know what happened. What you don't know is the way it happened. The movie also takes us through several views of the actual event. As for the acting, Tom Hanks is an acting genius. He plays this guy very straight and low key, just as the real pilot is. This is a must see movie in every way.

One of the best movies of the year. My favorite line from a first responder to an almost-drowning- victim: "No one dies today." Masterful story telling and brillant directing to take an incredible event into a nail bitter, even though i knew the end result. My appreciation for all first responders can not be expressed enough. It was refreshing to watch a story unfold that makes one proud to be part of the human race. And there are people in the world who do thier job and do it well, often without any thanks at all. So i say: "Thank you!" Kudos to all involved!

My dad who is a pilot for American Airlines,(which recently merged with US Airways) my grandpa (who actually hates flying but surprisingly wanted to see the movie) and I went to see Sully and it was one of the greatest plane movies I've ever seen besides Flight, Flightplan and Non Stop. Tom Hanks was incredible playing Sully and Aaron Eckhart was awesome as the co pilot Jeff. (Looked like an older version of Ken Evans who is the co pilot from Flight) We felt like we were on the plane the whole crash scene. Great movie. Highly recommend pilots of every airline, flight attendants and their families go see this. Just an awesome movie about the greatest hero the aviation world has ever had. ❤️🇺🇸✈️

As one who nearly never writes a review, this movie deserves one. Simply put, Clint Eastwood adds "Sully" as another masterpiece to his already burgeoning repertoire of films that captivates, transports, and entertains the audience. Sully takes you on an emotional journey where you experience joy, laughter frustration, anger, sadness, happiness, and outright elation. The strength of the movie is the storytelling around the crash and NTSB investigation of US Airways flight 1549. The limited use of flashbacks to either youth or military experiences attest to the brilliance of the storyline. Tom Hanks and Aaron Eckhart give Oscar worthy performances. The director/movie/actors each deserves every accolade given. My applause and praise to all involved in the making of such a fine film. Kudos to all the first responders in New York that cold January 15th, 2009--definitely another one of your finest hours.

After many years of his film career, this movie, in my opinion, is my most favorite. Even though he did good in the Toy story series, this movie was emotional and had a lot of heart. After flying for 13 for Delta Airlines, this made me love flying even more. Even though this was a scary moment to the passengers and New York. Even.the country too.

I would have to say one of the top movies for Tom Hanks, definitely a movie you can watch over and over again..great job!

I have heard bits a pieces of the story of the amazing job accomplished by this flight crew, the many first responders, and others involved in saving all the passengers. I appreciated Clint Eastwood putting it all together. Every professional flight crew member will appreciate the insight of what may take place in the process of an investigation.

Went to this with my mother, when I saw the trailer in theatre I was in tears just from the emotion of fear for those 155 people on that flight and I can't image what they were thinking and going through but so thankfull that with the quick thinking of those who went to help were the key points in them all surviving!
Now, Tom Hanks was great, there were a few times I thought he was a little flat during the slow points but the emotion he brings during the landing and his time in the investigtion rooms were intense!
Aaron Eckhart was great as well, probably my favorite in the film as his character was behind Sully all the way, his reaction time and calm actually help me feel calm while watching the film too.
I love Mike O'Malley, even though I wanted to punch him in the face but that is why I liked him he played his character very well.
The suspense during the failed engine again made me go into tears because that is an experience I hope I don't have to witness or should anyone else.
Overall it's an amazing film and I do reccommend people in seeing this!
