They forgot Back to the Future and Polar Express, which are also amazing movies.
Trailer looks great. I was sold in the first 10 seconds of the trailer :tongue:
Very interesting trailer-I may just have to go to a theater to see it.
Good find, Eric. I am looking forward to it!!
Will Joe Patroni be in it, cause if not, I have to think about it
Denzel usually is a decent actor and picks good roles. Could be interesting!
I agree...I trust Denzel's judgement in choosing movies.
A DC9 with wingletts.... Already lost my patronage.
I think they didn't want to associate it with any real airline or aircraft.
Except the whole MD88 cockpit and Dc9-30 with CGI wings.... LMAO Sorry, I'm brutal with realisim in aviation cinimatic peices.
Actually in my two viewings of the trailer I did not see a DC-9-30 but an MD-80 with winglets (could they be on to something). I think they call it a 727 on a brief shot of a news flash on the trailer as well.
MD-80 with winglets fitted....former US Airways bird!

I'm not so sure about that. Did you see Unstoppable? It was about a train....that could not stop! (unless someone stopped it)Quote:

its visionary. Look, the 727 didn't have winglets up until a few years ago....
anyway, Denzel does well, Zemekis is involved. Im excited. Looks like it may tap into the reality that pilots may face, the personal issues, after an accident.
ANd yes, I agree, Unstoppable was a good movie.
Man, tough critics... As my mother used to say "It's a Movie" otherwise it's a documentary. Repeat after me: I will go into the theatre with an open mind and enjoy myself.
Reminds me of Jurassic Park and the UNIX based security system... too funny! Still a heck of a movie. Was it based on a true story? You bet! Was it realistic? Not nearly :tongue:
Ok.....so we all seeing it together?
if there were more than 3 of us would we be able to keep quietQuote:

When I saw the trailer my first thought was 717 with winglets, or even MD90...but I agree that they probably don't want to make it seem like a "real" airliner...
Good point. I still say we do it. hahaQuote:

Trailer looks good but...
I saw the trailer last night.....looks interesting
Denzel stopped the train.
Denzel saved the plane.
Denzel for President 2016!!! :P
Decided last minute to see this,(after having spent these past few days at my parents while we have no power.)
OK, This was a movie very loosely based...dare I say that even) on the MD80 series accident years ago that involved jack screw failures. (Was is Alaskan? IIRC?)
I've always lived a pretty clean lifestyle. However, very early in the film, between the film soundtrack and the roles, I could see it was a flick about addiction.
There's not much in it from the perspective of aviation at all. But a very good movie, some great actors and roles.
"Loosely" in that no one survived in the real version... Alaska Flight 261. Surprised I didn't think of that after watching this trailer.
Still eager to see it.
We just saw it today. The aviation sequences in the beginning are harrowing and well done. And I was wondering where they were going to go after that and realized like Mario it was an intense drama aboutQuote:

I thought it was based on the canadian pilot that glided the plane after having issues with fuel pump selectors out in the ocean.. A reporter had found some unsavory issues from earlier in the pilot's life..?
Phil, very loosely.....as in only the concept of the jack screw was utilized.
I am a Denzel Washington Fan for one, My girlfriend and i plan to see flight this coming week for my birthday.
The pilots in the Alaska crash also inverted the aircraft.Quote:

I was always under the impression the inversion was the result of loss of control due to the complete loss of mechanical linkage between the stabilizer and the servos. Such that the motions of the aircraft leading to inverted flight were not not able to be influenced by the crew, for better or worse. A silly question 12 years later perhaps but...I always thought those pilots were complete victims of the jackscrew failure.Quote:

Cant blame them for that, though. They really had no idea that their actions were making the situation worse.
right they had no idea about the jackscrew being jamed on the stablizer. From what I understand too is that the aircraft was completely done. There was nothing the pilots would have done to save the plane. Flight 261 would have had the try to land at LAX but it was too late. I remembered shortly after the crash, many MD-80s series were inspected for any similor thing then went back to service. RIP to the crew and PAX that were aboard AS261..
