Movie review: Flight

Last night we watched Flight.

An airline pilot saves a flight from crashing, but an investigation into the malfunctions reveals something troubling. source IMDB.com

The movie is 2 hours and 18 minutes. The first 20 minutes were very promising.
Airplane rolling and crashing, Denzel Washington as a bad ass character and let's not forget the completely naked stewardess in the opening scene (bonus for Husband ;-)

But from minute 21 this movie was boring, boring oh and did I mentioned it was booooooooring!
It even has a storyline on the side that is completely unnecessary. Who cares about the drug addict? We didn't, then why did Denzel?

We only watched the whole movie because every 30 minutes or so John Goodman showed up. He was amazing and funny!

If you have 2,5 hours to spare in your life I wouldn't waste it on Flight.

ps: even in the trailer the sideline story isn't shown, although it takes up at least 30 minutes of the movie.

Movie review - The Grey

In Alaska, a team of oil workers board a flight home; however, they cross a storm and the airplane crashes. Only seven workers survive in the wilderness and John Ottway, who is a huntsman that kills wolves to protect the workers, assumes leadership of the group. Shortly after they learn that they are surrounded by a pack of wolves and Ottway advises that they should seek protection in the woods. But while they walk through the heavy snow, they are chased and attacked by the carnivorous mammals.

Let's talk about bad luck. That is what the men in this movie have.
And sadly for them the bad luck isn't over after their plane crashes. Far from it to say the least.

This movie has some very scary moments (yep even Husband freaked out more than once) and a very non-Hollywood like ending. (make sure to watch the entire movie because there will be a surprise after the ending credits!)

Great acting done by Liam Neeson in a beautiful surrounding.

Although critics say this movie is horrible because of the unrealistic story line I thought it was highly entertaining. OK a bit depressing at times.

Tissue rating:
1 pack - tear up
