O Comandante - Pânico nas Alturas

I'm a 28 year old Australian male. I cried with these people and got scared with these people. When the plane landed I felt safe again. What a movie!!! These guys are very precise in what they do and it gives me a new respect for pilots and airports.

Watch this movie, it should be alot higher than 6 out of 10.

Balanced movie between action ,adventure and emotions. Kudos. Actimg of stars, cinamatograpphy VFX, STORY LINE ETC ARE MARVELLOUS. CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL FILM MAKING UNIT, PRODUCER, DIRECTOR OF THE MOVIE.

On a routine flight from the city of Chongqing to Lhasa carrying 119 passengers and 9 crew, the plane is flying above the Tibetan plateau, avoiding the edge of a heavy storm, when a crack appears right in front of the co-pilot. The cockpit window breaks completely, depressurizing the cockpit, pulling the co-pilot halfway out, while the captain, played in the movie by Hanyu Zhang, tries to keep him at least half in the plane with his right hand, while trying to control the plane with his left. The entire cabin depressurizes and the plane falls out of communication with flight control. The oxygen masks drop from the bulkhead, the passengers start screaming and demand to see the captain, while the six flight attendants and erstwhile relaxing second officer trying to calm them. With no communications, plane out of control, and a major storm raging, will any of them get to the ground alive?

Andy Lau's movie recreation of real-life events is very well made, filled with startling and terrifying details. Like other movies showing people being heroic -- particularly 2016's SULLY -- it tells the events on board the plane in a plain, unadorned, "just the facts, ma'am" manner that makes the eventual impact even greater in the long run.

Lau's foreshadowing of events is a bit heavy-handed --the attendants practice their "We are trained in emergency procedure" speech and one complains that she never gets to use it; and I thought the rejoicing at the end went on a bit too long, but that last is a matter of taste. It's a well made and exciting film and what more can anyone ask?

High expectation but disappointed. Why didn't they follow the emergency landing protocol and evacuate passengers from all emergency exits? I know because the director wants to show how happy everyone is. Who cares about evacuation anyway.

Suddenly wanna watch some airplane movie and thus chose to watch this movie. Always think that Chinese movie must be very bad but it's better than expected, maybe it's due to the director Andrew Lau? The plot is simple as it's about the adventure of a flight but in a bad weather, and the windows were broken! The cabin was in chaos and one of the pilots even stuck (it's strange he did not die at all!) the bravery of the pilot and the stewardess saved the whole plane. It's amazed as it was based on a true story! The actors and actresses acted good jobs to persuade me they are working a good job! Good!
