Sully is a great retelling of the remarkable true story of Captain "Sully" Sullenberger and the "Miracle on the Hudson" emergency landing of US Airways Flight 1549. Tom Hanks delivers a brilliant performance as Sullenberger, bringing to life the pilot's calm and composed demeanor in the face of danger. The supporting cast also delivers excellent performances, contributing to the film's authenticity and emotional impact. The film recreates the events of the emergency landing, using both visual and audio techniques to immerse you in the chaos and tension of the situation. Overall, a detailed and accurate account of the events that took place, including the aftermath and the investigation that followed.

Seen in a movie theater.
Solid implementation of hero's journey with a reasonable plot device, you basically get a medical drama in a space industry setting. But besides main character everything else could have been done significantly better. Cinematography is good, but nothing novel. There were basically no reasons to shoot any part of this movie in space (besides bragging rights I guess).
It is almost three hours, but somehow all characters (including the main, but less so) fell underdeveloped and kinda cliché, not much depth to them. There is also no subtlety. Russian-style feminism is a bit forced, but sort of more realistic?
There are couple of 'awww' and a little bit more 'bruh' moments. It wants to be drama with elements of comedy, but could not truly turn serious.
This movie was done partly for propaganda, but what is its message? Russian female doctors can do everything, including space?
Despite all of the above, it was quite enjoyable and easy to watch. I did not notice those three hour passing by.
Overall: 6/10. Nothing novel, watch Gravity instead.
