Unless you really, really need to know what a plot-by-numbers Very Special Lifetime Channel Movie About Alcoholism would be if it starred heavyweight acting talent (answer: better, but still not actually good), you can leave after the first thirty minutes because after that there is no more planecrashing, and the planecrashing is really the only reason to bother seeing this.

Yeah I’ve heard similar things. Preachy, boring, overwrought, etc.
oh, does he actually do the whole getting over his addiction thing. I thought it was going to be more like Leaving Las Vegas with plane crash and slower drinking pace.

Well, obviously the zeppelin idea is going to be put to use in the inevitable prequel, set 100 years in the past. I propose that the plot revolve around Denzel Washington’s fight against allegations that he piloted the aircraft while being a Negro.
Added bonus for this idea: 100 years ago is a time period in which Whip Whitaker actually sounds like a regular name.
Let me get this straight; this weekend, with both Skyfall AND Wreck-It Ralph in theaters, you decided to see… Flight.
Was your family taken hostage by Denzel or something?
