Oh how the mighty have fallen. And by mighty I mean Hollywood.
America used to be able to produce movies which were OK. Just search "ww2 instructional video" on YouTube and you'll find tons of good quality cinematographic material.
This movie comes from such an era. An era, when movies used to be well tailored and well crafted. This is down to the roots kind of thing. There is something romantic and mysterious about a commercial flight plane. A bunch of people stuck in limited space, fighting for survival under the leadership of the crew. This movie didn't capture it, this movie created the whole genre.
