    I'm going to watch it just because Rollergirls is on afterwards, but I'm betting it's going to suck.

    Personally, I think its a bit too soon for all these 9/11 movies coming out (yes, they are making more of them for later this year, including another Flight 93 movie). We already have documentaries about 9/11 that will be far better at telling the story than any work of fiction.

    Oliver Stone is supposed to be making one about the WTC. Considering his treatment of American history in the past, cross your fingers.

    I'm watching it now ... it ain't sucking in the bad movie way. Just very emotional.

    I saw a 9/11 movie preview (before "Munich") with a guy who was across the river from the Pentagon (at Navy Journalism School) on 9/11...(he spent his 9/11 with a gun in his hands and tears in his eyes.)...He felt it was inappropriate & so did I. Too soon...

    I saw "The Delta Force" on cable a couple days ago & that reminded me in a corny way of how little US-Middle East relations have changed in 20 years ("The Delta Force" is based on a real-life hijacking + Chuck Norris' awesome ass-kicking abilities.) LOL

    my professor's parents were both on that flight. i think it is wrong to come out with these movies when the wounds for these families are still fresh. he won't allow his parents story to be told in this movie or the one that the discovery channel did and i totally understand why. i kinda feel like it is exploitation. i will not be watching it.

    i cried like a baby. Even though i had no family or friends on any of those flights, i still think it was too soon. It took me back to where i was that day.

    When they showed the towers being hit i just started crying. And then there's that conversation between a girl and her mother, and her mother said "i've got my arms around you"...oh lord...i was done for.

    it was a good movie, and i'd watch it again...but not for a few years

    I didnt see the point of it (and I watched a good portion). In something on the scale of the 9/11 attacks, the fact that there will be near-misses and life saving coincidence for people was inevitable and should be expected.

    If it was meant to be a documentary on the pyschological effects on the human condition such life-saving near misses has on people (and the 9/11 almost-victims in particular), then in my opinion it would have been a worthy premise that we could get something out of. As it was, it just seemed exploitative of the automatic emotions the attacks 9/11 evokes. Emotions that are still raw.
