Movie Review: Flight

While I was entirely amused at the absolute high points of Flight - that plane crash sequence, to be specific, was incredibly realistic - I was, for the most part, annoyed with the characters and exasperated with how the story unfolded. The writing was inconsistent, the almost romantic subplot was unnecessary and awkward, and the ending felt painfully forced. The acting performances were on top form though, especially Denzel Washington during the final act. Flight didn't exactly crash and burn, but it also didn't soar to it's potential either. 6.5
