While Tim Burton gives the film a nice look, including some really creative imagery, the novel's rich themes and well written characters are sacrificed for a blander and more conventional route, resulting in a disappointingly standard YA adaptation, with some pacing issues, and a dull climax. 5.8/10

The members of the National Transportation Safety Board are portrayed here as people who were trying to pin the disaster on Chesley Sullenberger. In real life, they merely conducted a routine investigation and did not act antagonistic towards him, as the investigation cleared him of any wrongdoing relatively easily. At Sullenberger's request, the names of the real life board members were changed.

Obviously, the real life Susan Orlean and John Laroche did not try to kill screenwriter Charlie Kaufman or his twin brother, (who doesn't exist), Donald Kaufman.
