United 93

A good movie according to a bunch of other movie goers. If we did the same thing here on KMC, and most everyone thinks POTC is a good movie, would you believe it, or would you take into consideration everyone's predisposition to liking anything their favorite actor or actress is in?

Besides, "United 93" is more than likely getting sympathy votes from people who didn't even see it, as well as negative votes for people who are against it as well.

So, in closing, IMDB is nothing by which to grade a movie's worth, IMO.

You're prematuraley judgeing a film you haven't even seen. I think thats a first from you.

Its not just IMBD. I been reading reviews from other websites as well and as far as I can see it's been getting rave reviews. The thing I keep hearing is that it didn't in no way have an agenda but just tried to state the facts.

Im going to see it when it hits dvd. Until you see it you should judge or make premature accusations.

Just got home from seeing this movie, don't have time to write a full review, I will say that this movie is outstanding, zero percent propogana, no agenda, beautifully made and one of the most purely effective and powerful films I've ever seen. I was physically shaken by the movie, and it stays as true to the events as it could while still remaining a powerful and effective film. Simply put - a masterwork.

I'll keep this brief. Saw the movie, wasn't impressed, much less engaged at any point, and the happy Pro-USA ending made me sick. I saw it comin' a mile away. Not only were the Flight 93 victims not heroes, this movie gives their families a false sense of closure, ignoring the fact they made no progress in the end. I admire their determination to fight back, but nothing came of it, and as sad as it may be, that's what should have been reflected. It's in better taste and honesty.

What Happy Pro USA ending is that? I sure didn't see one. I don't think a bunch of people failing to overthrow a doomed plane and as a result dying constitutes a happy ending.

Saying nothing came of it is entirely false, the plane crashing came from it, as all evidence in existance shows. Yes, they most likely never made it into the cock pit, but that's the only large liberty taken by the movie, and that hasn't even been completely ruled out.

I never felt the movie was making them out to be heroes. They did what they did out of pure desperation, knowing that they would die if they didn't try and take back the plane, not for some "greater good" or anything, they did as a final effort to survive, and that's what was shown in the movie.

But, at least you gave the movie a chance after already deciding you didn't like it. Better than most would do.

It wasn't even that I didn't like the movie. It was well put together, and felt realistic with the plain jane actors, but it was just TOO plane, and didn't really strike a chord with me deep down like it was supposed to. It just played out like the news always claimed. This movie put pictures to words. Frankly, like I said months ago, I wanted to see it just for the ending, to see if the truth would be ignored, and it was. After having read up on the doomed flight, and the findings, deciding to go with the ending Greengrass did, I thought was just in bad taste.

By now, these families probably know the truth of how their loved ones were ultimately trapped, having gone down fighting, but they did NOT take the plane down, and that's just too big a factor to ignore given the velocity and importance of the entire flight. The story has always been that of heroism, and now it'll be tainted by a lie.

Again, they didn't physically bring the plain down, that's correct, but they were the reason the terrorists crashed it. They knew that if they didn't crash it, the victims would eventually break the door down and take over the cockpit. The movie is actually very very accurate except for them getting into the cockpit, which I think is a totally understandable liberty taken, because, frankly, it just makes for a better, more climactic ending. It even had them banging on the cockpit door with the food cart to try and force it open, which is what actually did happen.

The best way to approach the movie is as non-fiction, and that's all I can say. You don't make a movie based on real events, than literally fabricate heroes based on circumstances that were never proven, and even disproved right after the release of the movie. Like someone said in an article I read, "we needed heroes, not the truth".

What really chaps my ass is that people seem to think A) a food cart is made of a tougher material than a damn airplane threshold door and B) you can ram a door as a plane is in a downward trajectory. Unless this plane can defy the laws of gravity, nobodies to say what really happened.

Every historical movie drama, every single one, fabricates things, this one is no different. That's why they all say 'based on a true story' rather than 'A re-creation of a true story'.

Well the black box recorded them ramming it with something, it's now believed that that something was the foot cart. Plus, it's possible that while they were ramming the door the plane wasn't yet descending.

With the force of such a large group of people behind it, it may have been able to force the door open, or would have in due time. Or even not, the terrorists probably didn't know WHAT they were banging on the door, and didn't want to chance it.

I just saw this. It's a strange film to consider; all the action in the airplane is hypothetical, but I still found myself unnerved by it none-the-less. It certainly gives you an idea of what it must have been like inside that plane, but the accuracy of it is pretty impossible to judge.

after now knowing what I know about this film people shouldnt waste their money on it.Its the governments fairy tale version of what happened.a propaganda piece by them.
