Why Sully is the most unrealistic movie ever.

13.8k BoeyingOfficial  6.0 years ago

I just saw Sully and I was really enjoying it. Until one moment. When Cactus 1549 started to taxi you saw multiple aircraft at the gate. 2 of them were 737’s. I saw them and thought “Oh yeah, Continental still existed back in 2009”. But then my inner Boeing pilot saw something I can only discribe as horrible:

Scimitar Winglets! In 2009! While they were introduced in 2013 on the max series! They didn’t exist back then!
What do you think? Am I wrong or did Clint Eastwood make a big mistake?

    (And I’ve seen more unrealistic things involving aircraft in movies, so the title may be a bit over kill)

    Well technically they ended up on the 700s or 800s first because the max hadn’t actually been made till 2016

    But if you take the effort to change United lettering to continental why don’t you change winglets. @ACEPILOT109

    yeah lets call this movie the most unrealistic movie ever just because the producer got the winglets wrong

    Ok 1. drama leave for politics 2. its a stupid error i could easily point out hundreds of errors in lots of movies 3. its just a movie and you really think producers care for detail all they care about is money and deadlines

    I’ve seen that plane and heard that story. While it is a slight inaccuracy, please change the title.

    i think "most unrealistic movie ever" is a bit overkill

    I think they filmed it just as they made the movie, as in they went up there to film it for olny the movie. So they used a real airport, in the time it was filmed, I think the rest of the movie other than this makes up for it though.
