Doesn't anybody tell stories linearly anymore?


Okay, I can understand having some flashbacks in a movie, but this kept jumping around in time. My wife and I spent too much time and effort trying to figure out, "Is this before or after the landing?"

It's like we were experiencing a rip in the space-time continuum or a temporal causality loop or something.

I guess they figured it’s a pretty straightforward story and not much more interesting than an episode of “Mayday” if they told it linearly so they had to jazz it up. Much like how they portrayed the NTSB as hostile just to add some much needed drama.
