How many of you are going to see United 93 this weekend?

I'm going Sunday afternoon. I can honestly say I don't "want" to see it. I have to see it.

Yeah, I feel the same way. And I know I'm going to leave the theater disturbed.

Not me. I've seen what the movie industry can do to a (so called) true story.

As an airline pilot I think I'd leave the theater pissed. Pissed that the FAA nor the government told us of this possibility. We know now they knew that hijackings were being discussed with emphasis. That would have put all of us on guard if they had only said something and shared the info. I would have had the crash axe ready to put a hole in some guys head if he came through my door.

Like the quote from Saving Private Ryan, "It sucks that they're kicking our butts and we don't even have a chance".

I can't decide. For the price of the movie tickets I'll probably wait and buy the video.

Good point.

I really don't want to see a "Dramatization" of this.
If it's ACCURATE, I'd see it.
But how can it be, when they didn't even have the Black Box recordings available to them when they made it?

Portion of tthe proceeds will go to a flight 93 memorial. So I will break out the wallet and goes see it. Very courages people

I am actually surprised that the makers did not put whitie neo-Nazis in there in place of mid-east terrorists, like they did in Sum of all Fears (was that redicilious or what?). Surprised that they're going to tell the real story. Are the Muslim groups in an uproar over the portrayal?

probably. It is the religion of peace after all.
