Especially an uneventful one caused by birds, and all the crew and passengers safely disembarked?
Yes. I for one wish to see this movie. The more you know about flight, the more impressed you'll be by the feat accomplished by the pilot known as Sully. Safely landing a jet airliner with a stall speed of some 185 knots (220 mph) on a body of water with zero fatalities (the definition of 'safe' in this context) is all but statistically impossible--yet this man did it flawlessly.
Only because the birds weren't the swallows going back to Capistrano..
I don't intend to diminish the skills of the pilot with this post, but as a rule I have no interest in Hollywood's version of anything 'based on a true story.'
edit-Their tagline is actually 'The Untold Story' for this movie.
Now THAT much is true!
It sounds like a good movie.
Not really...It's kinda like Apollo 13...I was around when it happened and it was on the news 24/7. I'll wager Hanks did a great job though.

With the temperature of violence and accidents aplenty, this seems rather dull indeed
What once was old is new again...or some dumb bulls**t.
I can't wait to see it. Sully's skill and cool head saved the lives of 155 people. Prior to reading this question, I thought there was nothing but adoration for Sully but after reading just a little of the story on CNN.com, I learned that he was put under a lot of scrutiny for taking the action he did. He was questioned about the last time he had a drink and people criticized his landing in the Hudson saying he still had one engine and that they felt he still could have landed safely. This is such a rare thing that pilots are forced to land on water so they aren't even trained for such a thing. So do I think he's a hero, yeah I believe he is. I very rarely go to the movies but I will for this one.
