Flight Trailer:Flight Official Trailer
Overall Grade: B+
Thoughts: So I'll cut to the chase right away, "Flight" was a little more boring than I expected. It starts out fast, but the crash that was so highly previewed before its release literally took up maybe 15 minutes of the whole 2.5 hour movie. Pretty disappointing in my book. But it was a pretty awesome 15 min ride anyways. Not to give away too much, it must really suck to be the flight attendant! Anywho, once I came to realize that the main focus wasn't so much the crash, but instead the demons that haunt Whip Whitaker (Denzel Washington), I found myself quite interested in the movie. Granted, there were some pretty slow parts, but overall I thought the dialect between characters and the raw emotion portrayed was excellent. There were times you actually felt sorry for the poor bastard. If only he could have stopped sipping on grand dad's ol' cough medicine...
Bonus tip: The cameo of John Goodman was a highligh of the movie. Although they never really explain who or what he is during his first encounter, it is quite easy to figure it out by the end. He definitely injects some much needed energy in a relatively slow film.
Overall I would recommend this flick, but don't go into it expecting a fast-paced movie. You'll be highly disappointed if that's the case.
