Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

The first must-see film of the year.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

Flight is a great example of everything coming together- screenplay, characters, acting and special effects. This movie is about addiction and the main character who happens to be a pilot and a raging alcoholic. So bad is the situation that his wife has left him and his sons do not have an iota of respect for him. Also, he drinks on the plane- a plane he is piloting! The crash sequence is quite jarring and anyone knowing the work of Robert Zemeckis would know he is a master in creating realistic looking CGI sequences. This is a great scene but what follows is equally fascinating. The pilot is brought to the court in charge of manslaughter(he manages to save most but not everybody on board). Washington is great as the central character. Go watch flight to see a nuanced character study of a flawed individual.

After the exciting beginning of the film, I gained high expectations for the ending. Unfortunately, that was not the case. Don't get me wrong: alcoholism and pilots are an interesting topic and it makes you realise the seriousness of this problem, but they just ruined the opportunity to make it interesting! I wouldn't recommend watching this, it's a waste of time.

The films different. Something different, also having seen other flight movies,I feel this tops this category. Denzel performed class! Top actor and possibly one of my favourite movies and also including Dark Knight Rises.

As I started to watch the movie, I thought that it will be a drama about crashing aircraft. But it was totally something more than just a predictable crash landing. Airplane movies, where happens accidents and someone rescues the plane, that was my expectation at the beginning. The film started already very dramatically, the weather was bad, takeoff was heavy because of the turbulence etc. I enjoyed watching how Denzel Washington does an awesome job as a captain and so calmly. He saves the plane from the worse, doing professional movements. When he landed, things suddenly changed, he was accused of murder. Why? After this successful crash landing? The things took a new turn, when I saw that he was alcoholic, he had to answer the questions. Of course it was bit unfair, but seeing what was he able to do, to get his drinks and drugs, nothing was normal anymore. After being convicted, he was imprisoned. He told his story to his son, whom he was not in a good relationship. It was thought- provoking, it's hard to describe with words, these emotions... For me it was very powerful and at some point frightening. I highly recommend this film, who likes movies with aircrafts and also the psychological side.
