Sully : Sorry, but I don't buy this film's premise

Sorry, but I don't buy this film's premise

I like Tom Hanks, but I find it impossible to believe that some pilot actually crashed a plane into the Hudson river and there were no fatalities. I'm sure this probably a good movie, given the fact that Clint Eastwood is the director and Tom Hanks is the star and also Aaron Eckhart who I love too, but I think the entire premise for this movie is nonsensical and dumb. I'm seeing this movie Sunday night with one of my friends, so I'll wait until then to make a final judgment.

Re: Sorry, but I don't buy this film's premise

I agree. I mean: Tom Hanks worked with NASA in the TV series "From earth to the moon" even when we all know that the moon landing is a hoax (look at the leaked outtake reels from the moon landing on YouTube).
Later Hanks worked with NASA to glorify Apollo 13 that in real life happened on a sound stage.

Now faking a fake landing on the Hudson. Come On. No one believes that happened in real life.

Pro wrestling is more logical and real than this fiction. Fake sports more real than fake Tom Hanks.

Re: Sorry, but I don't buy this film's premise

What??? Are you saying the moon landing was fake? That's absurd. Have you seen the countless interviews with Buzz Aldrin that obviously proved that it happened?

Re: Sorry, but I don't buy this film's premise

It sounds like someone doesn't have a sarcasm detector.

Re: Sorry, but I don't buy this film's premise

Nevermind a sarcasm detector, that the least of his problems if he truly believes the plane landing wasn't real.

Next he'll be claiming the towers never really fell, that it was all a massive stunt pulled off by Michael Bay who was hired by the government to help start a war to steal oil.

Re: Sorry, but I don't buy this film's premise

It would seem the person missing the sarcasm detector is you, skiop. All of the first three posts were sarcastic.

Re: Sorry, but I don't buy this film's premise

I saw the entire thing unfold right in front of my very eyes. So yes, it happened. And no, there were no fatalities.

Re: Sorry, but I don't buy this film's premise

I'm not disparaging the movie at all, and like I said, I think it's probably great and I look forward to seeing it Sunday. But is there any video footage of it? I still find it hard to believe that an airplane would just be able to smash into a NYC river and there wouldn't be more media coverage. If you can link videos with proof, I'll change my mind.

When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading!

Re: Sorry, but I don't buy this film's premise

Proof? Again, I saw it happen. Through my apartment window on 43rd and 11th. After it hit the drink, like so many others, I rushed out to the pier.

I imagine someone must taken video, but I didn't (No video camera or cell phone with video capability). I did snap some pics on a crappy point and shoot.

Re: Sorry, but I don't buy this film's premise

Okay I trust you. Was there chaos when you saw it? I couldn't imagine the panic in that situation.

When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading!

Re: Sorry, but I don't buy this film's premise

Dude - there is a ton of stuff about this event on the internet. Did you really think it didn't happen?

Do you know anything about Sully's background (prior to this incident). He was an exceptionally experienced pilot and instructor certified (had also worked on airplane accident investigations when in the Air Force). He was one of the best pilots to have in the cockpit that day.

Re: Sorry, but I don't buy this film's premise

Maybe you can answer a question for me.

Are you just being a trolling asshat, or are you really this fraking stupid?

This film is based on a REAL EVENT.
It happened you ignorant sh!t-for-brains.



I joined the Navy to see the world, only to discover the world is 2/3 water!

Re: Sorry, but I don't buy this film's premise

All I'm doing is raising some suspicion and asking the hard questions, just as any hard news journalist would. It's stupid to just blindly believe everything the news says.

When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading!

Re: Sorry, but I don't buy this film's premise

No you are not. You are trolling. and being a complete ass.

This event was widely covered and widely witnessed.

It isnt sonething manufactured by the media.

If you really think that, then you are as fraking stupid as the moronic conspiracy retards.

Re: Sorry, but I don't buy this film's premise

Okay, but sorry I didn't research this and, like most Americans, didn't even know that it even happened. To me it just seemed that that the movie is completely phony. But again, I'll read more and see it on Sunday.

Re: Sorry, but I don't buy this film's premise

You are wrong about that. Ask any American about "miracle on the Hudson" and they will immediately know what you are referring to.

Re: Sorry, but I don't buy this film's premise

Where were you when this happened? In a coma for a month or two? This was internationaal news not just New York/New Jersey.

Re: Sorry, but I don't buy this film's premise

I doubt that it was reported by the media at all, at least not very much. If the story is true--which I'm now again beginning to doubt--it should have been front page news.

Re: Sorry, but I don't buy this film's premise

Okay, but don't you admit that the media could have fabricated the story to increase ratings? Polls show that newspapers are struggling and that the news media in general are losing audiences.

Re: Sorry, but I don't buy this film's premise

And again I ask, "Where were you when this happened"?

Re: Sorry, but I don't buy this film's premise

Of course it was reported in the media, I live in New Zealand for gods sake and I still remember seeing it reported. This was hardly just a small local news story.

Nah, I've seen better trolling than this. The noob has a lot to learn.


This will be the only comment or reply you'll get. Like I give a sh!t about YOUR interwebz opinion.

Re: Sorry, but I don't buy this film's premise

Give us an example.
Because I genuinely think this guy is funny as hell and is always good natured in his jokes compared to other fanboy trolls on IMDb.

Re: Sorry, but I don't buy this film's premise

You're such a cynic, you would believe the incident was faked if you were in the pilot's seat.


This picture contains no physical depiction of the Godhead.

Re: Sorry, but I don't buy this film's premise

Yes, there was a widely circulated security cam footage of the plane landing in the Hudson. What do you conspiracy nuts think, they loaded a plane onto a barge and dropped it into the water then had 155 people climb onto the wings from boats and thats how come new footage showed all those people. Guess they also faked the radio transmissions from the controler to the flight crew.

Re: Sorry, but I don't buy this film's premise

Wait, if the moon landing was fake then does that mean the opening of Independence Day was not the reason why aliens really attacked Earth. That's crazy talk.

Re: Sorry, but I don't buy this film's premise

Okay that's the absolute dumbest thing I've read, possibly ever here on IMDb and man have I read some really dumb sh!t over the years.

Where do you live, in one of bin Laden's old hideout caves and this is the first time you've experienced WIFi?

I hope you're trolling for your sake because if not you've totally !!!!

This Movie Was A Bio Picture & The Event Was Real!


but I find it impossible to believe that some pilot actually crashed a plane into the Hudson river and there were no fatalities.


First of all... he LANDED the plane.



OK, I am not going to give you a hard time about "Where Have You Been?". Enough people are doing that...

But in 2009, I was working for an Emergency Response Agency, and as an employee, I was required to monitor the news every frickin minute of the day...

I assure you...

The "Miracle Of The Hudson" incident WAS real, and DID make worldwide headline news, and CNN covered the incident, as well as many news websites on internet.

If you were playing video games at the time, instead of watching the news, fine... But all you had to do was a simple five minute GOOGLE search to educate yourself.

Google Search: "WIKI Miracle On The Hudson"

First Result: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/US_Airways_Flight_1549

Please make sure to note all of the photographs, video clips, and the TOWER COMMUNICATION AUDIO that the article has provided...



It is a "MIRACLE" that ALL 155 people on board, survived.

Re: Sorry, but I don't buy this film's premise

Seriously, what country do you live in? This event was the only thing on the news for weeks. People were really there, there is video evidence, audio recordings, eye witnesses, ETC

The premise is based apon true events.
I dare you to say that to ANYONE that was there that day, so stop being a troll and go read about it.

Re: Sorry, but I don't buy this film's premise

I believe that brian_007 doesn't exist. It's an AI created by the government specifically to make people waste their time in IMDB's comments section (see? I fell for it too).

Re: Sorry, but I don't buy this film's premise

I think brian there believes Trolls the movie was based on a real events. LOL. Would make total sense.

((Damn the remakes, Save the originals.))

Re: Sorry, but I don't buy this film's premise

You're a special kind of stupid, aren't you?


My people skills are fine. It's my tolerance of morons that needs work.

Re: Sorry, but I don't buy this film's premise

Not as special as the idiots falling for this troll. I'm ashamed I bumped this thread but someone had to say it

Re: Sorry, but I don't buy this film's premise

It's based on an actual event in which there were zero fatalities, you goddamn fucking dumbass.

Yes, this is really me.
