It's gotten favorable reviews so far. I predict 50M opening weekend.

I saw the tv movie and don't know how much more this movie could say about that flight. The tv movie was excellent

I don't have cable. I hope the theatrical version is excellent too.

If I thought it was an accurate depiction of what happened I might watch it. Like many movies like this, I think too much is being read into what the passengers did.

Well, I believe the movie is based on the available transcripts, recorded dispatch calls, recorded air traffic control data, emergency responders and all of the family members. From the recent revelations in the Moussaoui trial, much of the struggle was heard in the cockpit recordings. These people had the advantage/horror of knowing what was happening because many had cell phones, and they were the last flight.

I don't think I'm ready to watch retellings of 9/11 in public. I'll most likely get the DVD and watch it at home.

Everyone on all those flights knew they were going to die. Barbara Olsen was on the flight that crashed into the Pentagon and she had called her husband from the flight. They knew they were going to die.

I felt terrible when I heard that Barbara Olsen was on that flight. She used to drive me crazy with some of her comments on Larry King, but I still liked her a lot.

It's not that the other passengers weren't equally important. It's just recognizing someone specific who was on the flight.

I'm sure most figured out that it wasn't going to end well, but what I meant, was that the 93 passengers knew what happened in NY and in DC, and that they were going to be used as a weapon also.

IMDb

'United 93' Actor Refused Visa
The lead actor in 9/11 movie United 93 will miss out on the film's premiere in New York City on Tuesday, because the US Embassy is denying him a visa. London-based Lewis Alsamari plays the main hijacker in the film, which depicts the final hours of the passengers on United Airlines flight 93, which crashed in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, on September 11, 2001. But although he was granted asylum in the UK in 1998, American authorities are less keen to welcome him across the Atlantic. He explains, "I was born in Iraq but have lived in Britain since 1995 and am about to apply for British citizenship."

So I guess this is another "pretend you are in the US" movie made in Canada.

Screw it. I hereby lift the boycott. The movie won't be shown in my town AGAIN but I don't care. Go ahead and enjoy the show.

It's difficult to describe this movie. It's hard to say it's "good" cause of the subject matter, but I'm glad I went to see it. I experienced it as being painful and sad, yet I was really angry about it as well.

I'm still glad I went to see it.

(I would not make a good movie critic...)

I've figured out why I won't be seeing this movie in the theaters. At first I thought it was because I wasn't ready for a 9/11 movie, but then I saw a poster for Oliver Stones movie and thought it looked good and like something I'd see. It then dawned on me that my fear of flying is why I can't bring myself to the theater. I watched the made-for-TV movie and I was okay in the comforts of my home, but watching a movie in a theater about a doomed aircraft is just something I can't do because I do fly regularly and I have to keep that fear at bay.

The theatre didn't receive a print for the 1:50 & 4:30 showings I'm going to try again tomorrow.
Please wish me luck :-)

Well I've just come from seeing the movie. Easily the most intense cinematic experience of my life. Best picture of the year period. Everyone should see this movie. I was angered & moved.
