This movie serves as a good example of a general rule, and should be included as part of the curriculum for film-making courses in the future: If you're going to include a suspenseful, edge of the seats, scene wherein the daring pilot hero, flying by the seat of his pants in a last ditch effort to bring his plummeting ship down safely, is breaking all the rules that ground control is ordering him to follow; ending with all the instruments screaming "Failure! Failure! Catastrophe! Duck and Cover!" or whatever, it's better if you don't intercut the sequence with shots of people watching it through a window, and only reveal that it was just a simulation after the end of the scene. I'm just saying.
