Flight 93

Its sad to read comments like " the government is to blame just like the terrorist or I mad because they were praying" People Americans die that day in the towers and in the planes. They were white, black, brown, yellow, Christians,Hindus, Jew's, Etc. This murders did not care about any one.

This movie showed us the courage that this people had and we should respect them for what the when thru. How dare you speak about this if you don't have a clue what this people when thru in their last hours on this earth.

We need to all respect this great hero's and their families and stop blaming others like our government. The guilty party was the terrorist!!!!!

This is a movie that is hard to watch because you know how it's going to end. Seeing this movie just brings back emotions about 9/11.

I was very impressed with this movie. We see the hijacking of flight 93 thru the passenger eyes. We see and feel the hell that they were going through on that fatal flight. We also happen to witness the families pain! In case you didn't know many passengers were able to call on the airplane phones during that flight.

This movie is not only a history lesson but its a very emotional experience. I am sure that the producers took some liberties but most films based on true stories do.

I highly recommend this. I can't see a better being made about these heroes of "Flight 93"

Its also a reminder how the events of 9/11 has re-shaped the United States and the middle east

This was a decent film that might actually have portrayed the events on United Flight 93 on September 11. I think that it is comparable to United 93, the other film about the same subject, and I liked both movies about the same. This film captured the obvious fear the passengers felt on that day, and goes into more detail with the phone calls they made to their loved ones telling them what was happening. The suspense in the movie was kept high despite the fact that you knew what was going to happen. The cockpit-charging scene was the highlight of the film, in my opinion. You learn a little bit more about some of the passengers than in the other movie. If you have an interest in 9/11 and would like to see a movie about the heroes on that day, this movie might be for you.

**1/2 out of ****

I guess I don't know what I was expecting, but this movie went above and beyond what I thought it was going to be. I am not very good when it comes to actually judging how good or bad a movie is, but I gave this movie a 9 because it absolutely broke my heart. On Sept. 11 2001, I was in high school watching everything happen on TV and I guess I didn't cry then or at all because I was so shocked and didn't understand. This movie made me realize how terrible this event really was, and for the first time, I shed tears. This movie was a good movie to give you an idea of what it was really like for those people and what their families went through and what they knew. I am truly sorry that people feel that they need to do this and this movie has made me feel awful, but it did a very good job of making you feel the way you should feel when you think about these types of things.

The made-for-TV "Flight 93" was on A&E last night, so I watched it having recently been pleasantly impressed by the (similar/same) story of "United 93", which I rented on DVD just a few weeks ago.

Perhaps my opinion of "Flight" would be different if I had not seen "United" first, but I just didn't feel the power, emotion and anger that I'd felt while watching "United". "Flight" felt detached, poorly-acted and strangely 'calm', whereas "United" portrayed well the sense of in-credulousness of the situation as it unfolded and brought back the sick feeling we all had that day when it was realized what was actually going on. The air traffic controllers/airline people on the ground in "Flight" however seemed content to sit there serenely and simply wait for another opportunity to say, "There goes another one". And when one of the hijacked passengers uses his cell phone to give a sad farewell to his wife, she hangs up without even saying so much as "I love you".

Perhaps though my main problem with "Flight" is that it merely recreates what (is believed) to have happened, while "United" does the same while reminding us that procedures, organization & interaction on the ground were inexcusably poor, and that there are valuable lessons to be learned from this tragedy. By glossing over that aspect of the fateful day, "Flight 93" falls flat.

So if you've seen "United 93" already, don't waste your time with "Flight 93" - and if you haven't seen either but are interested in the story, make it "United".
