I had to see this movie the first weekend out,,,,, not sure why,,,, lost a friend floor 92 - tower 1 - first strike. Was spared another friend at the Pentagon that very day minutes later. Some of you know who that is (Thanks USAHOG for that support).

From minutes before the movie started ... my heart raced until I was on the bike heading home 2 hours later. Such a well done movie. As close to accurate as can be made with no survivors of that Hero flight.

10% of all profits from the opening weekend went to the memorial in PA for this horrific event. If your heart can handle this movie, I recommend it.

I'm sure I will go to see it very soon. Thanks for the reminder.

I don't know that I could go see this movie. I lost friends at both the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, and I worked a week at Ground Zero repairing the "bathtub" walls after the clean-up. The pain is still there, just below the surface.

The reviewers have raved about the film. I repect the decision of the company to make the film, but it is still too fresh for so many here in the NYC area. I was pleased to learn that some of the profits shall go to benefit the survivor families, as it should. They still suffer today. You can see it on the faces of the children (our neighbors). I hope the movie continues the healing process.

I still get choked-up when asked about the work I did or the people I knew. The healing will take many years. There are thoughts, emotions and memories I will share with my children over time, but not now.

The long term effects of this man-created disaster are only begining to show. In time I might give it a try.

Sorry for the rant. I did not intend to hijack the thread.

Eric... no thread jacking there... what you said belongs right here. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and sorry for your losses....

What a powerful film. It's hard not to get emotional when you see this movie.

A must watch video..... and listen near the end...

Which movie did you see? I thought Flight 93 was the TV movie, and United 93 was the recent theatrical release . . . .

I would like to see United 93 . . . .

United 93... the movie that just came out... Didn't know there was a differance.... dang it... now I have to watch the other one, too...

Not sure the heart can handle it this week....

I am from NY and I cried for 3 months everytime I saw the pics of the twin towers going down,....

Great link, and I can't wait to see the movie. What I don't understand are all the America-hating Democrats who say (and I've heard them), "Well, we had it coming."

GW may be screwing up on other issues, but I'm glad he was in office then, and I'm glad it's him in office now and not Kerry.

Don't think I'll go to see this one, watched this all unfold in front of my eyes on TV and it's still burned there pretty vividly. Not to mention the fact that I never like Hollywoods take on anything "real"

Cigarick !!

What a great post! I luv the Bush family and worked for his dad... so that meant alot to me.

Thanks for standing up and see the value he has brought to our counrty.

Ok...........I went to see this movie tonight. I thought it was very well done. It was kind of odd........I mean.....in the way the movie was done. It is like you are a fly on the wall in several different places. There was NO character development at all.......and hardly any background music. When I think about it it was the best way to recreate the events of the day.

All in all.......very well done....no one was speaking when we left the theatre.......several with tears in their eyes. I think everyone in this country needs to see that movie. The people on board United 93 are true American heros. God only knows how many lives they saved that day.

I will see this movie some day...just can't right now. Too many emotions just thinking about it...

ericsgr ....perfect review.

Some started to clap in my theater..... out of respect ... after that 15 seconds of darkness and quite......

Oh crap, I need to go to another thread already.... starting to get emotional just thinking about it again...

We are so blessed.

I will never see it.

Don't get me wrong, I am not advocating not seeing it. But for me, seeing still photo's of the real thing is enough. I knew then, life and a rose colored view of the world would never be the same. Or least the thought that it *could* be true.

If you feel 9/11 was not such a big deal. If you feel your beliefs could survive testing yourself by viewing such a film, by all means check it out.

Do you know anyone that thinks 911 was not such a big deal? Really?....

A guy I work with was in the Pentagon when the plane hit. After 3 1/2 years, he just told me last week. He's a retired Sgt Major.
