The Captain 中国机长 (2019)

(dir. Andrew Lau 劉偉強) This film, based on a real incident in 2018, was a massive hit in China. Made with the full cooperation of Sichuan Airlines, it is an overwhelmingly positive portrayal of the Chinese aviation industry, and unironically employs every airplane-disaster movie cliché in the book. Hard not to think of Airplane! at moments, but nevertheless an enjoyable watch. ★★★☆☆
