Love this movie! Tom Hanks is awesome, as always!!

As usual, Tom Hanks gives a good performance. The movie gives a behind the scenes look at the aftermath of the incident.

I'm actually jealous of Tom Hanks !!! From the movie "BIG" to his latest accomplishment, "Sully", he relentlessly weaves his acting magic. But I digress. The movie was NOT what I expected. As the fllm progressed, Hero Sully was treated like anything BUT a hero by the long arm of the Federal establishment and it did not take long before I was on the side of this gentle, upright (all) life-saving pilot who had to fight/think his was out of abominable situation/inquiries that few if any people could have tolerated/survived. One tiny thing confused me at first. Early in the film, flashbacks by Sully of the events were played out with horrific imagined endings. After several of these I began to realize that the ACTUAL REAL Story was coming up. Oveall, a captivating movie !!!

"SULLY" is the true story of Pilot Sullenberger (aka SULLY) whose plane was struck by geese after departing LaGuardia airport in New York, and decided that he had to land in the Hudson River. And shows the aftermath and "his trial" regarding his decision. It is intense, great directing by Clint Eastwood and excellent acting by all, especially by TOM HANKS, who looks like Sully. What makes the movie is the DOLBY ATMOS sound!

Best Buy always has the BEST BUYS! After buying, GLIDE back home and take a seat near your TV, pop in the disc, and watch a HIGH FLYING movie!

I was very hesitant in buying this given that I already knew the story and the ending. But, as an Air Force trained mishap investigator and a retired pilot I was immediately sucked into the plot. Screenplay was excellent and the details surrounding the NTSB investigation were nicely compiled into a not so well known suspenseful conclusion. I found myself yelling at the NTSB investigator, "What about the human factors, butt head!" Even if you know the ending, you'll love how Clint Eastwood crafted this tale into a story you'll enjoy experiencing again. And, don't forget to spend some time watching the bonus features. Sully's take on his real life and how it is portrayed in the movie is well worth it.

I saw this movie when it first came out. i really enjoyed it. I though Tom Hanks gave a great performance. I remember when it actually happen and saw it all unfold on TV. I have to say that Sully Sullenberger did an awesome job landing the plane in the Hudson and saving everybody on that flight. The best part of the movie, in my opinion, was when they had the hearing at the end and other people tried to prove him wrong by not going for the nearby airport. Watch it and see for yourself.

Great movie. Great video and audio quality. If you have a atmos system it sounds amazing.

This movie depicts many aspects and considerations required of the flight crew during the short time they were able to stay airborne. It also shows how the NTSB attempts to blame the pilots when a plane goes down in any place other than the intended destination even when all lives on board are saved. The reality in this movie also exposes the NTSB's shortcomings in proving the flight crew could have made it to any available airport to land. Finally an aviation story a pilot agrees with and understands without unrealistic drama to sell the product. Reality at it's best in this documentary style film. A must see!

An interesting portrayal of Miracle on the Hudson. Tom Hanks doesn't disappoint.

I am so glad this movie was made so that we could know the real story behind the "Miracle on the Hudson." It was a shame that Captain Sully and his Co-Pilate had to endure questions and scrutiny by those who wanted to place blame on them even after ALL passengers were saved! The truth needed to be told so that people would know how some powerful companies want their employees to be scapegoats if there is a risk that they might be sued even when they have extraordinary people like Sully and his Co-Pilate! Even though they both said they were just doing their job they went up and beyond the call of duty!

About three minutes after US Airways Flight 1549 took off from New York's LaGuardia Airport multiple bird strikes by Canadian geese caused both jet engines to fail. Sully turned to co-pilot Jeffrey Skiles (the excellent Aaron Eckhart) to consider options. Could they return to LaGuardia or the nearby Teterboro airport in New Jersey without crashing? With 208 seconds to decide, Sully said, "We're going in the Hudson." The Captain picked a spot near midtown where choppers, police, fireman and ferryboat rescue units could move in quickly. They did, in 24 minutes. Thi is a great movie

Clint Eastwood has been one of my favorite directors for quite some time now. His latest film, "Sully" is yet another reason why I enjoy Eastwood's direction and influence on his films. He creates such a realistic environment that is contagious to the audience as we are gripped upon every line, every saying, and every word. This historical event may be known to you already, but I really did not know the backstory to the events afterwards until I saw this film. This shows that healthy criticism is wanted and desired, but when you get too overboard with it, reputations are lost.

This is a great movie. However, as usual Hollywood does take some liberties with the truth as far as the review of the crash. But the acting by Tom Hanks as Sully is, as usual, superb. He really shows the mental trauma Sully and his copilot (Aaron Elkhart) went through. The amount of tension you feel about the flight is real even though the outcome is known. Kudos to the ferries and others who responded to the crash and picked up passengers and crew.

I bought a 4K TV and 4K Blu Ray player for Christmas. This was my first 4K movie and it was great. Captain Sullenberger's story is inspiring and entertaining. The action is superb as the movie shows what happened when the plane lost both engines due to bird strikes. It will leave you sitting on the edge of your seat. Be sure to crank up the sound if you have a sound system in your Mancave. The quality of the 4K DVD is head and shoulders above regular Blu Ray. Best Buy has good prices on 4K movies and more and more are becoming available. Go 4K and you will never go back!

Great movie base on a true story. The captain Dave so many lives

I must admit tat I was surprised when I saw this movie. It is not that much about the well publicized plane crash, but the dispute that occurred afterward about how the pilot handled it. You will be surprised about how much debate there was over the pilot's decision making. Very interesting. The picture quality is also above average for a 4K release. Many are 1080 upscaled, but not this one. Th is a legit native 4K scan. I wish they all looked like this one. A definite add if you want the highest quality 4K releases.

Another good Tom Hanks movie. He did a great job telling this story.

Many of us will remember the events depicted in this movie as they happened only a few years ago (2009). I am not sure if Tom Hanks is capable of giving a bad performance but he can sure dazzle you with his great ones. This is one of his GREAT ones. As far as the rest of the movie goes, there is nothing bad that I can say about the way the story transferred from real life to a movie script. Completely entertaining from the opening scene to the last. Great, great movie. What a great pilot and man the real Chesley Sullenberger is. Wow, just wow. Enjoy it.

"Sully" is an AMAZING movie, and I would recommend it to anyone! It's the true story of Chesley Sullenberger, the pilot who landed an airplane in the Hudson River. That all 155 people survived an airplane crash, with no casualties, is unheard of! But, when you add in the water temperature in January---approximately 36 degrees, and a wind chill factor of -5, it's an absolute miracle any of them survived! Chesley Sullenberger is truly a hero, and he's an amazing pilot! Tom Hanks was outstanding in his role, but then he never disappoints!

Enjoyed this movie! Accurate depiction of this Amazing True story!
