Witness the dramatic and heroic story behind the Miracle on the Hudson—and the previously untold events that followed—when “Sully” arrives on Ultra HD Blu-ray, Blu-ray Combo Pack, 2 Disc Special Edition DVD and Digital HD. From Oscar-winning director Clint Eastwood (“American Sniper,” “Million Dollar Baby”) Warner Bros. Pictures’ “Sully” stars Oscar winner Tom Hanks (“Bridge of Spies,” “Forrest Gump”) as Captain Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger.
On Thursday, January 15th, 2009, the world witnessed the “Miracle on the Hudson” when Captain Chesley Sullenberger glided his disabled plane onto the frigid waters of the Hudson River, saving the lives of all 155 aboard. However, even as Sully was being heralded by the public and the media for his unprecedented feat of aviation skill, an investigation was unfolding that threatened to destroy his reputation and his career.
“Sully” also stars Aaron Eckhart (“Olympus Has Fallen,” “The Dark Knight”) as co-pilot, Jeff Skiles, and Oscar nominee Laura Linney (“The Savages,” “Kinsey,” Showtime’s “The Big C”) as Sully’s wife, Lorraine Sullenberger.
Sully is Tom Hanks film. He owns it from the moment he shows up screen with his perfect transformation into the real life hero Chesley Sullenberger. He is brave, heroic, humble and a complete professional. It's nice to see a real man's man on screen who values life, family and doing your job to the best of your abilities without all the whiny mumblecore that happens in dramas of this modern era. Clint Eastwood does a solid job in pacing the film so you get and inside look into how Sully felt before, during and after flight 1549 had to make an emergency landing in the Hudson. 8/10
Sully arrives on 4K UHD Blu-ray with a 2160p transfer in the aspect ratio of 2.40:1 - Colors have a natural appearance with crisp whites and brilliant blues. Black levels were deep and the varying degrees of black look excellent. Shadow delineation was perfect with no signs of crush. The image is always sharp and exhibits fine details in clothing, faces, and the control panels of the plane with amazing clarity. 9/10
Audio is provided by a Dolby Atmos track. - Dialogue was consistently crisp and clear. Surround channels have effective use of crowd din and environmental effects. Where this track really shines is when Sully lands the plane on the Hudson and there is a wall of sound for a few minutes that places you on the plane with the 155 other humans on board. There are some moments of deep bass and that mainly has to do with the landing. No signs of hiss or popping.9/10
