Like responding to a forum topic that does not interest you or even remotely address the OP thought.

Not sure of who target audience is for movies now. That being said a drive in was a blast in the late 1980's with the ladies in high school.

Here's a review of the movie by the pilot of the Qantas Airbus that suffered catastrophic engine failure and he got it down.

One of the Picts in that article shows carbon fiber turbine blades. Rolls Royce makes them from titanium. I think I'd rather fly with those.

Given that Rolls Royce made the engine that downed the writer's airplane, maybe not.

I just watched one earlier this week on cable in preparation for seeing the movie. Check your system's archived programming.

Don't have cable, do have Roku. Unfortunately wife hates documentaries, so it's unlikely I'll ever get to watch it.

If you have watched 6 movies you have may have said you have seen them all. Movies are so blah. I used to see movies when on a date. Things you have to do to spend time with a woman.
