Thumbs down Flight (2012)

Great reviews, but so over the top that incredulity was not just strained but broken .....

The mid-air crisis and subsequent crash-landing was very realistic, tho scarcely believeable, but later on when the pilot's alcohol level was "revealed" as 0.24 my jaw dropped to the floor .....

I was married to an alcoholic and I know that alcoholics can function on extraordinary levels of alcohol, but a BAC of 0.18-0.25 would mean the pilot would be disoriented, confused, dizzy, and have exaggerated emotional states.

Vision would be disturbed, as would be perception of colour, form, motion, and dimensions.

The pilot would have an increased pain threshold and a lack of muscular coordination.

The pilot would stagger or lose the ability to walk and have slurred speech.

Apathy and lethargy wouid be typical.

The pilot couldn't even drive a car let alone fly a plane.


I let the movie roll on, but when the pilot restarted drinking (and driving with a quart of vodka and beer chasers) I lost interest on this OTT time-waster .....
