I saw the movie and I had liked it this is based on a true story but not for children to watch

good movie, kept your attention, not like most movies of today

Pretty solid acting, BUT this movie isn't really about the plane crash. It's more of a substance abuse movie, and most of the run time for the movie is dedicated to denzel's substance abuse. And honestly, I hate that genre of movies. The whole plane crash segment was well done all the way around and I was pulled into the story very well at that point. But after the plane crash, the rest of the movie just fell flat for me. Again, the performances were solid, and if you enjoy substance abuse themes, than you will likely enjoy this movie much more than me.

Flight: a journey made by a flying animal or object; the act of running away. Washington's character is ultimately doing one or the other for the duration of the film. // Ostensibly a movie about flying and crash-landing an airplane, but that's really just the metaphor for the alternative definition -- and the associated substance abuse. // Good acting by a strong cast, especially Washington. // Probably not the best movie to watch if you have an upcoming plane trip, or are nervous about flying.

An incredible performance by Denzel Washington and probably the most emotional movie I've seen this year. There are some elements in the movie that I found gratuitous, and I suppose the director had his reasons for putting them in (specifically the first few minutes) but overall the story is compelling and even at times offbeat journey of a man finally having to face the demons that he can no longer outrun even in the face of great heroism.

A wild movie which both offends and appeal to viewers of various interests. There were scenes of sex, family struggle, plane crash, Alcoholism and AA, drug use, Jesus saves, struggling single women, cancer patient ... all brief but extreme.

One of the best movies that I've seen in some time. I had no expectations so it really was a surprise to me. Denzel still has it...a bit out of shape, but he is still quite an actor.

Very Powerful movie!! Movie is soo good. Has a true meaning behind it and movie is beyond amazing. Truly a must see movie.

Denzel soars as an alcoholic pilot. I was reading the ending credits and read John Goodman's name. I had to go back to see which character he was! Everyone gives a great performance but this is Denzel's film, all the way. What a great actor.

This is really a movie about alcoholism and addiction, not so much about airplanes or flight. It's an ok script, but with some good acting from a strong cast. Few besides Denzel could have pulled off the role of the alcoholic hero pilot. At times, the movie is painful to watch, only because it brought the decision process of an addict front and center, and it's painful to see that even the strongest of us can make bad decisions even when he fully knew what the right decision should be.
