Directed by the same guy who did the Back To The Future trilogy. Could be good.

I thought it to be an excellent movie from an alcoholism (addiction) recovery standpoint. I'm a recovering alcoholic (7 years sobriety) and in Delta Airline's pilot HIMS program.

Absolutely, it's very good as a drama. But if you go thinking it'll be a great movie about flight, you'll be left wanting. I thought the first scene was more like a comedy.

"A thunderstorm? Shouldn't we slow down?" "No, no, we gotta speed up, let's get the hell out of this thing." *firewalls it*
Nosediving towards the ground: "We're gonna roll it." -___-

In all seriousness, the event was meant to be similar to Alaska Airlines Flight 261, which suffered a failure of the jackscrew assembly on the horizontal stabilizer due to poor maintenance leading to excessive wear and tear. Overall it was a great movie, I thought, but the title is more a metaphor of the bigger story of addiction and facing your demons.
