So bad it was fun! I've not watched a movie in a long time that had me shouting at the screen like this one. I've been an air traffic control engineer for 29 years, so I may know a little bit about this stuff. Not one piece of equipment or system was accurately portrayed in this movie. They say one thing has failed and then Fonzie goes out and fixes something quite different. If they did hire an ATC consultant I can only guess they got a retired cleaner who had heard some ATC talk and glimpsed the equipment many years ago. Then they ignored what their "expert" told them!!
Everything about this movie was wrong, ATC, people, aeroplanes and equipment. Good fun to watch if you have any knowledge of the subject at all so you can play spot the mistake. Spotting the accurate bit would be much more of a challenge. If you don't know anything about ATC rest assured in real life its not like this at all.
