The Final Call (2019– )
6/10
Decent thriller but horrible lack of aviation knowledge
2 August 2022
The premise intrigued me and I just love anything related to aeroplanes. Hence I went ahead and watched this. I don't know about a common person watching this but for a flight enthusiast, this was painful to watch. What starts off as a Boeing 737 with winglets morphs into a 737 without winglets. Then we realise that it's actually a Boeing 777. In the middle of the series the plane is a now a 2 engined 747, like make up your mind people. Also in the scene where a midnair collision is about to happen, the ATC says an A380 is in its path but that's just a twin engined A330 if i recall correctly. In the last episode the plane becomes an Airbus A330, an A320 and finally ends up being an A330. This lack of consistency is really jarring.

The plane takes off from Mumbai to fly to Sydney. Throughout the journey even when it's flying over Indonesia or asked to land at Port Blair, the contact is only with Mumbai ATC and not the respective airport's ATC, like Mumbai ATC is the only ATC of the world.

Acting was pretty good. Arjun Rampal was just amazing. The story was flowy except for some stretched out backstories that weren't all that great. The ending could have been better.
