schoolkid19-1 In my last review I defended Flight 93 and didn't praise this great movie. I probably will go off and defend it again, but focus on the movie. I personally thought this movie was better than United 93. The acting in this movie was better and it focused on the people Tom Burnett, Todd Beamer, Jeremy Glick, Louis Nacke II, Mark Bingham, Lauren Grandcolas, Elizabeth Wainio, and CeeCee Lyles. In United 93 I had no idea who was who. The reanactment of the revolt was intense and well done. Unlike United 93, this movie showed the devestating crash, and the families heartbreaking reactions. The score for this movie was also better. Now am going to defend the Flight 93 story. Airfones were installed in Flight 93, and you can sometimes make cell phone calls from planes. Cell Phone calls just interfere with the radar. Family memebers also confirmed the calls from Flight 93. Flight 93 was not shot down either. Cockpit Voice Recorder picked up the sounds of the passengers trying to get in and the hijackers say, "Roll the plane! Put it down!" And the plane seen above the crash site was a cooperate jet ordered to locate Flight 93 when it disapeared from radar. Many witnesses say the plane intact in its final moments. If you want the official story read Jere Longman's Among the Heros. Overall Flight 93 is a great movie ( ignore the low IMDb). Be prepared to cry.

pawebster This film seems to be unfairly regarded as the poor relation, just because it was made for TV. If so, it's snobbery. Flight 93 focuses much more on the humanity of the event, on the passengers and their families. This gives us the chance to empathize with them and feel for them as they meet their fate.United 93 focuses more on the technical aspects. It fails to distinguish the passengers from each other and does not name them. I know this was done at the request of the families, so as not to single anyone out (not that this stopped the film makers from unjustly stigmatizing the German passenger as a wimp!).I admit that Flight 93 perhaps goes too far in its depiction of endless phone calls. We wondered when the passengers were ever going to find time to take on the hijackers!

dieBaumfabrik I watched this on 'More4' on Friday 2009-09-04, thinking that it was the work of Paul Greengrass, the genius behind 'Bloody Sunday'. One hundred and ten tedious minutes later, I thought 'he's lost it'. I didn't realise that I was confusing 'Flight 93' with 'United 93' which I've just finished watching on 'ITV1' on Sunday 2009-09-06.(Why did I include a spoiler alert? Well, I am assuming that in a few years' time, there will be visitors to this site who will not have heard about what happened in the USA on 2001-09-11 or, at the very least, will not remember what was special about United Airlines flight 93. For those future generations wanting an idea about what happened that day, stay away from this patronising slush.) A hijacked airliner in itself makes for an interesting story, but the makers of this tat appear to have assumed that everyone watching was fully aware of the context and the ultimately fatal crashes of this plane and three others. Instead, it chose to focus on several conversations between the passengers in the air and their beautiful wives and parents at home in their beautiful houses. For an hour and a half, sweet syrupy goo oozed from the screen. 'Look!' say the film-makers, 'these nasty men killed beautiful loving American people.' What idiot script-writer feels the need to point out that most people are nice, and have others around them whom they love and who love them back? This insults the viewer, and what's worse, insults the memory of real people who died in that crash.

Hollyoaks_Hunni This movie really moved me and I am not the sort to actually sob throughout a movie. I have been known to shed a tear, but never to be sobbing so loudly I had to be shushed by my friends! i think that the real failing in this film was the fact that at the end, the passengers broke into the cockpit, but they did not in real life. this was a crucial moment in the film and should not have been put in unless it really happened.Although, over all the film was amazing and really moved me and my friends. It's the sort of movie that if you're at a sleepover, you HAVE to watch a funny film afterwards or you will be sobbing all night.The best bit; The Lords Prayer bit, so sad and my friend started crying dead loud at this point Worst bit; The thorough security checks made the fact that the terrorists would have got in a little unbelievable and the thing with the guy not picking up his money.. me and my friends ALL noticed it!
