Flight 93

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.

I believe this film accomplished what it set out to do. No big stars, no big special effects, it focused just on the ordinary people that got caught up in this event. The film "United 93" is quite good but that is told in close to real time and includes several air traffic controllers where as this movie mainly comes from the communications the people on board had with people on the ground.

I have read some reviews that were based on the politics of the situation, I won't comment on those. If you read the reviews that talk to the actual movie I think you will get a better idea of the actual merits of the film itself.

The no name cast did quite well. As I said the focus is on the communications between people on the ground and those in the air who could see they were going to die. I think it's a movie that will be rated higher as we move away from the actual events. As far as the reviews go that say it's not realistic because everyone involved has blonde hair and or has a baby is on par with the reviewers who knocked the Lord of the Rings because so many of the main characters had blue eyes.

This was very well done despite being on a small budget. I was shaking through most of it as I was reliving the experience through the actors and events. The acting and writing was excellent and though the real people surely looked different this movie put faces with the names. The characterizations were done very convincingly and I now want to see photos of the real people to see how well the casting was. I know I will never take for granted my next flight and will be aware of those around me and what they are doing. I found myself wondering during the movie, why hasn't more been done to avenge this day as I still have a empty feeling that those that would attack our country have not been hurt enough for what happened on this day so that they or their children won't attack again. There can be no secret of what happens in the end, but it was very interesting how they figured out what the overheard "Let's roll" quote was for. This movie did make me totally forget everything and I was glued to the television. The "I love you" scenes were nicely done. The movie was not boring, though it could have easily have been. But like the movie "Blackhawk Down" it's a very powerful emotional movie and seeing it more than once can be exhausting, but it's a valuable and enlightening movie and needs to be seen by those that can handle it.

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

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!!!!!
