Oh, and to answer some questions earlier in the thread... the movie wasn't nationalistic or patriotic. It just showed the chaos and situation as it was at the time, as human beings facing crisis.

if i was going down in a plane id totally whip it out and start jerking off. that way when they find my body theyll know i went out like a champ.
plus on the flip side if the plane didnt crash and all was well, id be "that guy" for the rest of my life.

I'd like to see it. Not sure if it'll be possible, since the local theater management seems to think crap like "RV" and "Stick It" are the more likely money-makers.

I saw it tonight. Well done film. I recommend everyone to see it once (many won't want to see it again... it really is gut wrenching).
Don't worry; I plan to see it with a friend.

my concern is the film will be overly patriotic. It's cool they fought back, but I'm sure the amount they fought back will be overplayed.
I'm sure as soon as the insurgency started, the terrorists crashed the plane on purpose.
The tape was played in court. It shows the passengers bravely tried to get into the cockpit. The terrorists decided the crash the plane because of it. Arseholes.
Any views I may express here are personal and certainly do not in any way reflect the views of my employer. Tis the rising of the moon..

That's like making a movie about the bombing of Pearl Harbor and complaining because FDR is nowhere to be found.
The fact is, efforts to deal with the crisis were hampered by no one being in charge right away. Later, Cheney took charge, so don't act like it was unreasonable to expect someone from the government to do so. That's their job. In fact, it's because of Pearl Harbor that we put in place procedures on how to deal with these sorts of things.
Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

FWIW, I had to go to a smaller theater to see it because the main one around me wasn't showing it.

Btw, I wonder. Many people are saying they don't see the 'point' of this movie. Do movies have to have 'point's to make now? If there is a message (if people need that sort of thing), I think it is that ordinary people can be heros. It's why just about no one was really 'named' and we didn't get a backstory on anyone. This was how it was on that day, and ordinary people stood up.
Interestingly, I had no idea that a delay at Newark Airport probably saved the Capitol. If the passengers hadn't realized that they were using the planes as projectiles, they may not have risen up.

Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.
