[spoiler]You missed the big mistake there. A black box is hard wired into all the systems so the cockpit recording should have cut off at separation, not continue on until the cockpit was swallowed by the big thing. Who in their right mind designs radio reception into a black box? Hard wiring gives a much cleaner signal.
BTW a black box is usually fitted in the most likely to survive position and as you want the crew to survive as well, co-locating them is a good idea.[/spoiler]
At Leeds/Bradford I arrived 5:45pm to find the queue already started and getting longer. At 6pm still in the queue but joined the ice cream queue instead and returned to the main queue to wait another 15 minutes before being let in.
Walked into a pitch black cinema - they'ed started it early - then it went off and the lights came up.
When it started properly it was 2:20 again!
I must have seen it over 20 times now and i'm sick of it.
Then the movie proper started and the lights were still on and they didn't expand the image to fill the screen. About 20 minutes into the movie they played with the lights then turned them off. The image remained shrunken all the way through but at least it was watchable.
Rant over: The movie itself was quite good, i'd seen a TC interview where he described how the effects were created in their sky home. Those panoramic scenes were there while they were acting - no blue/green screens - and you couldn't tell the backdrops were projections. The flight scenes had to be blue/green screen but the effects were well done.

In fact, he's maturing very well! 
The acting was good throughout and I did enjoy recognising the American landmarks.
