Don't waste your money. This is a really dumb, unrealistic movie. For a professional pilots' review, please see YouTube 74 Gear "MD80 Pilot Terrible Decision to Land in Ocean": It is Hollywood hype for exploitation purposes. It starts off on a totally made-up scenario. The movie should have hired a consultant (or get their money back, if they did) to provide reasonably believable pilot jargon and behavior.

I only wish that I had seen such a movie back in the sixties while in a driven theater with my high school sweetheart. It might have allowed me some other more enjoyable pursuit. Or, perhaps my juvenile mind would have enjoyed the movie.

This is such an exploitive, dishonest, impossible film that I am ashamed of wasting my time on it. But I feel cheated. A child might feel some excitement from all the action scenes but no parent should let their children be exposed to this crap. Gratuitous violence is the least of it. Physically impossible events put a lie to scientific fact that can warp reality. But it is not presented as a fantasy or "what if" joy ride but as events occurring in a real world. A total waste of time at the very least.
