typical chinese movie

High expectation but disappointed. Why didn't they follow the emergency landing protocol and evacuate passengers from all emergency exits? I know because the director wants to show how happy everyone is. Who cares about evacuation anyway.

Sky-high thrillride...

I do like Asian cinema, and when I was given the chance to sit down and watch "Zhong Guo Ji Zhang" (aka "The Captain"), of course I jumped at the chance. Now, I hadn't even heard about this 2019 movie from director Andrew Lau and writer Yonggan Yu prior to stumbling upon it by sheer luck.And now having seen it, I must say that "The Captain" is definitely one of the better airplane disaster movies that I have seen. Why is that? Well, sure the whole thing about things going awry in midflight is nothing new, but this movie brought on a very personal feel to it as you get attached to the crew and passengers aboard the plane, and the storyline does a good part of making it feel like you are right there amidst the chaos aboard the plane.The movie has good CGI effects, which really helped add to the overall enjoyment of the movie. And this movie definitely puts China on the movie map of airborne disaster movies."The Captain" also had a very good assembly of casted performers. I do enjoy watching unfamiliar faces on the screen, and "The Captain" was mostly all new faces for me. I must admit that people were definitely doing very good jobs with their given roles, and all seemed to be living into their characters quite well.There is a good amount of thrills, suspense and action in a good combination to be had in this movie.I was more than adequately entertained with this movie, and I can warmly recommend that you take the time to sit down and watch it, should you have the chance, and should you like airplane disaster movies.My rating of "The Captain" is a seven star rating.
