I'm not bringing this thread back //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Just watched it yesterday. In my opinion, it showed how unprepared the nation was on handling the problem as it unfolded. I am not saying this is a bad thing, though the lack thereof did prove to be fatal. I highly believe that protocol and clearance for engagement have changed since then. Even if the nation was more prepared, who's to say that it would have been foiled?

The story of how the passengers tried to regain control was only like the last half hour of the movie; prior to that it showed what was going on behind the scenes at the FAA, various control towers, and some military site.

I can't see why you would refuse to see it. Granted, you can't just sit there and act like it's just a fictional 'movie', but to me, it's just the same as reading about slavery in your history books. It happened, and this is the story (more or less depending on the fact/fiction basis). Though I don't see why you would refuse to watch it, I am not implying that you are obligated into watching it.

I agree to an extent, but not this guys views. Go read some of his stuff, he is the biggest political tool here.

I agree, DJGTSR is a complete whackjob political tool. If he leaned any further left he would fall the fvck over. Memo to DJGTSR: just because you read about it/saw it on the internet does not make it true, even if your hero Al Gore invented said internet.

I couldn't agree more and it nauseates me that the film companies are using one of the most tragic events in this country's history to make some jack at the box office. This movie is reprehinsible and disgusting-I will not see 2 seconds of that shit.

Agreed. Only way I will see it is if they send 100% of the proceeds to the Bush family...errr I mean the victoms of the flight //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/blush.gif.99bc659ee2012b7d826165e26fb5eebe.gif

Sorry to revive such an old thread but I finally got around to renting this DVD with is being the 5th Anniversary of 9/11 on Monday.

First off I must say that this movie is extremely powerful, I feel awful after watching it. Having said that I do think that it was done tastefully and they did not exploit the emotional impact from this tradgedy.

I would suggest to most everyone that they should rent this as it would be a good way to at least remember back on the events that took place. Fortunately this movie also does not politicize the events or add any Hollywood character development, which wouldn't have been fitting. It's crazy too look back and see how incapable our Military/Norad was to defend our border within a 90 minute period. What would have happend if it was a coordinated military strike from another country?

Anyway, god bless the families of the people that died that day.
