The Captain

Balanced movie between action ,adventure and emotions. Kudos. Actimg of stars, cinamatograpphy VFX, STORY LINE ETC ARE MARVELLOUS. CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL FILM MAKING UNIT, PRODUCER, DIRECTOR OF THE MOVIE.

I'm a 28 year old Australian male. I cried with these people and got scared with these people. When the plane landed I felt safe again. What a movie!!! These guys are very precise in what they do and it gives me a new respect for pilots and airports.

Watch this movie, it should be alot higher than 6 out of 10.

When I am writing this review it only has 6.2 star rating.

I think this movie atleast deserve a 7 star rating out of 10.

Pros : A good watch .

Cons :

Plot- 9/10- There have been multiple cases of windshield cracks in commercial flights including the one on which the story is based out of. However, there was scope for adding some twists.

Screen Play- First Half 5/10, Middle - 9/10, end 7/10. Some of the initial scenes could have been either avoided or shortened since they do not have much impact on story line. The middle session is interesting with breathtaking scenes of the flight entering the crisis and flying thru thunder storm. The Cinematography is excellent across locations including the cockpit scenes. The last portion again enters a bit of drag. The Cabin scenes too are quite well detailed. However, here too some cuts would have been just fine.

Cast and acting - 9/10. Great characters and acting . Scenes like the Short talk between the second officer and the crying passenger could have been avoided.

Realistic- 9/10 for ATC and the flight related details. Pilots not being able to hear each other and not being able to communicate with ATCs due to the noise of wind, cabin pressure drop , tyres bursting due to hard breaking are detailed well for the audience. However, here too some drag could have been avoided.

Overall - 8/10. 1 mark being cut for the drag scenes and 1 mark for a below par screen play for an otherwise excellent plot.

Suddenly wanna watch some airplane movie and thus chose to watch this movie. Always think that Chinese movie must be very bad but it's better than expected, maybe it's due to the director Andrew Lau? The plot is simple as it's about the adventure of a flight but in a bad weather, and the windows were broken! The cabin was in chaos and one of the pilots even stuck (it's strange he did not die at all!) the bravery of the pilot and the stewardess saved the whole plane. It's amazed as it was based on a true story! The actors and actresses acted good jobs to persuade me they are working a good job! Good!
