| Sep 19, 2016 at 23:05 | comment | added | ChrisW | @BruceWayne What I found disappointing (I've only seen the movie preview) was how tense/emotional the pilot and ATC's voices sound, compared to how their voices sound on the real recording of their conversation. | |

"The Guardian", not "guardian"

| Sep 19, 2016 at 4:03 | comment | added | Patricia Shanahan | This answer has removed my last reason for watching the movie - curiosity about how to turn that incident into a feature length film. It seemed to have all the wrong structure: resolution of the main climax minutes after the first deviation from normal, a lot of cooperation, no villains. | |

@BruceWayne: make Birds the enemy -- THAT's a movie I'd want to watch!

| Sep 18, 2016 at 22:03 | comment | added | BruceWayne | When you consider that they took what's essentially a relatively short event (bird hits plane, plane forced to land) into a full on Hollywood blockbuster, you "need" a villain...and I suspect they didn't want to make Birds the enemy, so why not some big government agency? But I agree, they could have shown how professional they are at NTSB and that all govt agencies don't work against the folks they're tasked with watching out for. | |
