Flight was the first live-action film directed by Zemeckis since Cast Away and What Lies Beneath in 2000, and his first R-rated film since Used Cars in 1980. It was also a commercial success, grossing US$161.8 million against its US$31 million production budget. It received generally positive reviews from critics, with praise going to Zemeckis' direction and Washington's performance, Gatins' screenplay and themes. It was largely shot on location, with visual effects and computer-generated imagery used to create the plane crash. Principal photography began in October 2011 near Atlanta, Georgia, and lasted over 45 days. The film is loosely inspired by the plane crash of Alaska Airlines Flight 261. Immediately following the crash, he is hailed a hero but an investigation soon leads to questions that cast the captain in a different light. It stars Denzel Washington as William "Whip" Whitaker Sr., an alcoholic airline pilot who miraculously crash-lands his plane after a mechanical failure, saving nearly everyone on board. Parkes, Laurie MacDonald, Steve Starkey, Zemeckis and Jack Rapke. So, I hope you watch the film, and I hope that you enjoy it.Flight is a 2012 American drama film directed by Robert Zemeckis, written by John Gatins and produced by Walter F. So, if that is the case, then you are off the hook. Although.if you aren't a fan of Tom Hanks, then you might have some trouble with this film because a great deal of the film is him alone on an island. There aren't a great many films that I would say this, but this one I would. This is one of the few films that I strongly recommend you watch. There is also a good deal of comedy in the film, and it is done very well. Helen Hunt also pulls off a very nice performance. As much as I liked Russell Crow in "Gladiator", I firmly believe that Tom Hanks deserved it more (although that would be his third Oscar). Also, not many actors have changed their physical appearance like Tom Hanks did for this film, I truly applaud him for his work. You really can feel all of his emotions while he's stuck on the island. Tom Hanks pulls off another great performance, as usual.
The rest of the cast was good, but their roles were very minor. The acting is very good, although, there's only 2 real sources of acting in this film, Tom Hanks and Helen Hunt. This seems to be a trademark of Robert Zemeckis (case and point, "Forrest Gump"). The scenery is absolutely breath taking, the special effects are so well done that you don't even realize that there are special effects present. But, all in all, I've watched the film enough times now that I can say "I love this film!!!" When I really stop and think about it, the film is brilliantly executed.
I am a huge Robert Zemeckis fan, so maybe my expectations were slightly skewed at first. And just got better with each additional viewing. I must say that this film was MUCH better the second time around. I mean, I certainly enjoyed it, but I just wasn't too sure of how I felt about the film as a whole. I'll be honest, the first time I saw this film, I wasn't too sure if I liked it.
