I aslo went to the Covent Garden screening yesterday. I was expecting the Q&A to be with some actors with minor roles and/or a producer, so I was really surprised when we were informed that Denzil Washington was going to be there. :D
Not much to add to what others have said. Both my bf and I enjoyed the film, especially the plane crash scene. 7/10

Yeah, I was so surprised myself, when entering the screening to be told, there wouldn't be a break between the film ending and q&a because denzel washington would be coming to do the q&a... I half thought she was joking ;) So surprising to get someone of that calibre doing a q&a in such a small venue, with the director and the main female character also...

Good film... It's amazing that this type of story does happen so it really hits home. 8/10

Robert Zemeckis is a pilot himself, according to his Wiki page: He is a pilot who has logged approximately 1,600 hours of flight time as of October 2012. Wish I'd asked him about that! It was a fun Q&A, and Denzel was particularly entertaining. I'd give the film 7/10, certainly kept my interest until the end. Not so thrilled to watch the plane crash sequence though... :noo:

was a bit disappointed with this, very entertaining in the first 30 mins or so then it slowed right down and became very uninteresting. also felt the title of the film was very misleading thought there would have been many more planes and flights, should have named it something else...

5/10

Was anyone reminded of the running joke in Airplane? "Looks like I picked a wrong week to quit...."

He was literally 'flying by the seat of his pants' so quite apt! I really enjoyed this and was pleasantly surprised after some of the previous reviews. If you like action movies the first part was in genre but there was a deeper undercurrent running through the film which was very engaging. Did not feel the film dragged at all. Enjoyed the Q & A and it was nice to see how relaxed they were and Denzel was good at the ad-lib one liners :cool:

p.s. on Graham Norton Denzel explained that his physique was deliberate - he is quite trim in real life :rolleyes:
Preferred cinemas:
Central London and North London as far north as the Hampstead Everyman including Picturehouse Hackney/Notting Hill Gate - but not Wood Green and North Finchley as they are just a bit too far.

Do we need the mag page from RadioTimes to get into the preview?
