Featured review
This movie is NOT stupid.
I have to admit that I actually never watched the movie, but I wanted to add some facts to franzi775's post, since it's some sort of misinformation.
Miracle Landing is based on a true accident, like already said by other comments, and covers the story of flight 243 of Aloha Airlines.
Indeed, sudden explosive decompression CAN lead to a complete loss of an aircraft, but it MUST not! Besides Aloha 243 there are some similar accidents that did end up *quite* fortunately, e.g. United flight 801, 10 months later.
Thus... the movie is realistic, rather than stupid! Sorry, but had to set things right.
