SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Far from Perfect, Far from Terrible

I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

As an ex cabin crew member or flight attendant in US terms, I have to say this film is one of the most accurate and well filmed movies I have ever seen regarding an aircraft disaster.Many times in the past, I have watched these movies where the aircraft takes off as a B727 then in flight is a DC10 and lands as a MD87. Through out this movie, accuracy was excellent! I flew for a leading UK airline in the 1980's and remember reports of this disaster coming through. It was all the more relevant since I actually flew on the B737-200, which is exactly the type shown in this movie.I found little if anything wrong with the movie, in fact am astonished at how it was so well put together considering it was probably a TV movie with a lower budget than big Hollywood blockbusters.The aerial shots of the B737 in "cabriolet" mode were excellent. Cabriolet is what we called them after we heard what happened to the B737's fuselage. All out B737s were immediately grounded and checked, and then went on to have major refits and strengthening was undertaken.My last flight on a B737-200 was in December 1992 and shortly after, they were withdrawn.This film was excellent viewing and I recommend it to all people who take a blasé view of the role pilots AND cabin crew on board. Without well trained staff, passengers would die in such an incident.

It is truly the ignorant that would condemn this film for lack of action and climax, or having the heroine spend too much time having her hair blown in her face......... somehow, one wonder if people do read the little words on the screen saying..... Based On A True Story.All I can say is, it paid respect to a very harrowing experience. One must commend the real pilots and the stewardesses who handled such a critical situation with such mettle. Especially a case where you loose hydraulics, communications and depressurisation..... not easy as those who fly will tell you.So to the producers and Director who tried their best to re-enact a moment of true heroism........Bravo!

I have to admit that I actually never watched the movie, but I wanted to add some facts to franzi775's post, since it's some sort of misinformation.Miracle Landing is based on a true accident, like already said by other comments, and covers the story of flight 243 of Aloha Airlines.Indeed, sudden explosive decompression CAN lead to a complete loss of an aircraft, but it MUST not! Besides Aloha 243 there are some similar accidents that did end up *quite* fortunately, e.g. United flight 801, 10 months later.Thus... the movie is realistic, rather than stupid! Sorry, but had to set things right.

Miracle Landing is a very well done film. It's a miracle that more people were not killed when the front section of the plane (roof section) tore away, sucking out one of the flight attendants. This is a true story, which made viewing it all the more enjoyable. My heart really went out to all the crew & passengers. What an ordeal to go through.Trust me, this is a great film to see. Mark Snows music adds that much more to it...
