It's been a few years since I last watched it. Great movie.

It's incredible, but not something I'll ever see a second time.

It's in my Top 5 favorite movies. One of the most emotionally powerful films I have ever watched.

I haven't watched it in a couple of years. Pretty emotional.

Very good movie. And I agree, after I watched it the first time, I felt like I never needed to see it again. And seeing it in theaters made it feel more powerful for some reason...when the screen just goes black, you're sitting there like "Holy shite..."
I even bought it when it came out on DVD, but have never even thought once about putting it in and watching it..

Barely knew one actor in this movie, and loved it for that. The girl in camo with the headset trying to keep dispatching wtf was just as real as it gets on screen. A-list or not.

I have always wanted to watch this, but have been afraid to actually sit down and do it.

They made all of the people perfect with no flaws. I get why they did it to not offend the families but still. I feel bad for the actors who took the hijacker gigs. My blood boiled when they first came on screen.

Well...it was only chronicling about three hours of their lives and it is a true story. And the fact that this movie was made about a real event, and a sensitive one at that, there really was no need to go all Hollywood and give these people flaws that we could relate to. This film wasn't so much about character development as it was about telling the audience what happened on 9/11. Heck, we aren't even told the vast majority of these people's names.
United 93 is probably one of the most historically accurate films I have ever seen. If teachers in the coming years aren't using this film to teach their students about 9/11 then I don't know why they are even teaching.

I get that by at least include a scene of someone rolling their eyes when they have to sit next to the fat guy or a businessman yelling at his employees on the phone prior to take off. Even the introduction of the air traffic boss seemed forced (everyone greeting him with big smiles on their faces, shaking hands, etc.)

i must have been one of the few if not the only person that hated that movie

I didn't like it Walt. I saw it in theaters when it came out. I felt if they were to produce a movie like that, it should have tied in with something bigger. Instead, "Here's these people. They all die. Be sad. But don't go to war."
