We saw it yesterday and thought it was great. We all saw the news footage, but much more was going on behind the scenes and this movie tells that story. I was not expecting the emotional impact of the events as the story unfolded. It was very well done and we highly recommend it. By the way, the story was told with no bad language (as I recall) and (spoiler alert) nobody dies.

Good to hear it. And it is playing at both the Old Mill Playhouse and the Barnstorm Theater.

Great behind the news footage truths. Get there early. . . a sell out!

Saw the movie this morning at Brownwood - 10:40 - good crowd -not full - excellent movie from beginning to end - don't rush out after the movie as they have some extras during the credits. If you are a movie person - we go just about every Sunday morning - this is a must see.

Sounds good. The morning shows do not seem as crowded as the early and mid-afternoon ones.

Excellent movie. I lived in NJ when this happened. We saw it, read about it etc. But what we didn't get was all the behind the scenes nonsense that goes on. Tom Hanks did an excellent job as Captain Sully. A very powerful movie. A good clean cut true story, no foul language, no nudity and no mass murders. And yes don't leave the theatre when the credits roll, lots of scenes that are not shown in the movie. Stay until the music stops.

I saw this movie this afternoon at the Barnstorm Theater. Very good movie and seemed very true to how people act in such situations.

Really enjoy most of the movies Clint Eastwood has been involved with over the years. Clint Eastwood - Rotten Tomatoes (https://www.rottentomatoes.com/celebrity/clint_eastwood/)

We saw it yesterday afternoon; a really, really good movie. I have about 3,500 hrs. in the cockpit and have had a few of those "oh, crap" moments and didn't have much time to get things assessed and back to flying the plane.

Agree with all
Love the true story movies
Tom is a great actor and a great story
Hats off for Sully he was a great pilot and kept his cool in a very scary situation
His military training kicked in and he saved many lives
He's a very humble man and a outstanding pilot!!

It's a perfect movie for TV, so far 80% of the audience for Sully has been over the age 35. I remember going to Tom Hanks film Captain Phillips at LSL about a week after release and it was packed. That film in the US took in $218 million. Captain Phillips had opened with $25.7 million, so they had expected Sully to open with $25 million, however Sully instead opened with $35 million. That speaks well for the film.

On IMDB (Internet Movie Data Base) Sully has an 8.0 rating from 12,000 viewers. Usually I don't go to the theater to see a movie that doesn't rate at least a 7.0. So that score is a good indicator, Captain Phillips had a 7.9 rating from 325,000 viewers. Another film out now that is getting no publicity but everyday that sees it, had said it's the best film in years is "Hell or High Water". On IMDB that film has an 8.3 rating from 8,500 viewers, that's very high. It's suppose to be like a modern day western, I think since it's only playing at Spanish Springs that has hurt the film in TV.

Really enjoyed "Sully", and I give it four stars. I predict Tom Hanks will receive a Best Actor Oscar nomination.

Stay for the credits to see some of the real passengers, Sully and Sully's wife.

He did not look much like Tom Hanks. More like James Stewart. Two of my favorite all time actors.

Juat so nice to go to a movie like this. I feel like I know Sully a little bit. His poor wife and children, it must have been rough on them. Tom Hank's is just amazing. Five Stars.

I really enjoyed Sully too. Would not mind seeing it again.
