It was Thermopylae. It was the Alamo. It was like nothing that has happened before in human history. Much of the power of United 93 is the knowledge that while people cannot realistically imagine themselves with the Spartans at Thermopylae or the Texans at the Alamo, just about everyone has flown in an air liner. Everyone seeing this film can imagine themselves among those brave but doomed passengers, fighting with the courage of desperation for the right to get home alive. Though one knows what must happen in the film, one to the very last finds oneself praying for a different outcome, one in which the passengers seized back the plane and somehow flew it to safety at some nearby air field. But the film is real life, not Hollywood. Every human being should see this film. It is a testament to the human spirit, of an indomitable desire, even in the face of death, to not go quietly into that good night.Read full review
We just finished watching UNITED 93, the true story of the brave passengers and crew that stood up and fought back on 9/11/2001, giving America its first victory of the war on terror. We found the film to be profound and deeply moving, with the actions of these heroes of 9/11 challenging all of us to a greater national calling. On September 11, 2001 Americans saw thousands of their fellow citizens killed in a senseless attack on the United States. UNITED 93 puts the viewer side by side with the passengers as they face the monumental decision of life or death, of action or inaction. Factual, shocking, intense, deeply moving, and yes, highly inspirational, this film will bring you face to face with the complete brutality of the enemy. We hope every American will see this film and be inspired, as we were, by these ordinary people who made the decision to do an extraordinary thing, in spite of the odds. Their actions are a vivid reminder of what the word 'American' really means. Steven & Crystal Holt Movie Magic USARead full review
This is the movie that was given a special screening for people who'd lost loved ones on Flight 93. Most were extremely moved by this movie. This is a testimony to the power of this movie and recommendation enough to see it. I can't speak from the point of view from of someone who lost a good friend or family member (or anyone I knew) on that flight so I won't pretend to know what that is like. I CAN say that I found this a powerful and resonant and moving film, one that brought me to tears. Most people reading this review will know what happened on Flight 93. In that sense, there is no surprise ending. But the recreation of what happened, as best we know it, is very intense. So, however much you may not want to see a "serious" movie, see this one. Remember it. The courage and presence of mind shown by the people on that flight deserves to be remembered.Read full review
...say all the debunkers aka "liars". Fact is, this movie is well-written, largely acted by unknowns, and sucks you in to a fantastic tale of American courage and bravery. In fact, that is actually it's fatal flaw: American Exceptionalism is a complete myth, an utter lie, and guess what else folks? The terrorists don't "hate us for our freedom" as Dubya claimed, they hate us because we've been in the shadows doing covert military black operations, assassinating Presidents, killing thousands of witnesses & family members. This level of control originated 6000-8000 years ago. Turns out WE have been the terrorists all along. Other than being 100% false, I loved it.

For a factual event where the facts are mostly speculative, it was a good movie. If this had been a fictional event the movie would have been different. Wesley Snipes would have played the Hero, the plane would have landed and most if not all of the Hi-jackers would have been killed. However, this wasn't the case. The Heroes were everyday people, the plane crashed and what happened on the aircraft is mostly speculation. I thought it gave an excellent view of what MAY have happened from what limited sources there were to work with. I've watched it 3 -4 times and would recommend it to anyone who can seperate fact from fiction and realizes that sometimes you just have to make a guess as to what happened when.
United 93 is perhaps the first movie I've seen pull of the near-impossible feat of using real people playing themselves recreating historic events. You really don't see the difference between the actors and the non-actors until the credits roll at the end. The revelation amplifies the catharsis provided by the real-time account of the hijacking and crash of United 93 into a field in Pennsylvania. With all the coverage of 9/11 for the fifth anniversary, I was surprised at the impact of watching people on the ground and in the air fighting to make sense of the change engulfing them. It was the first time in a long time that I was able to remember what life was like before that day, and what we lost that day that transcended the number of people killed.
An intruguing feature. The srrvice was exceptional. The overajj rating would be 5 stars. I recommennd the dealer and the film. somethomg to get you iteresnted. Again I was pleased and do mot consider me as a critic Itwas ffilm worth taking thetime to go over them. It always has one or two odd ducksthat donot havenough sesnse to empty the water from bdt.

I purchased this movie after having seen it at the theater. I did this because it is an important part of our current history, and the people who died on 9/11 deserve to be remembered and honored. While I and millions of others were glued to their televisions and radios on 9/11, the people portrayed in "United 93" experienced that day differently. The film does a good job of portraying their perspective, such as what they saw and knew when the planes were headed toward the Twin Towers. At some points, us, the TV viewers, probably had more information than some who were trying to make sense of things and make decisions. I would have hated to be in the position of remaining calm and trying to make decisions that day. I recommend this film.
I really wanted to watch this one because I wanted to know more about what was actually happening out there. It really put me inside the plane and made me think, about how I was gonna react if I was there. It was a real do or die situation for all the flight attendants and the passengers. A great tribute to the passengers of United 93. And a good job done. However, the only thing is that it might just be fictitious and the plane might have crashed due to malfunction or any plenty of other reasons. The moments are heart warming as the families have a last word on the phone with their sons, fathers, mothers and everyone.
This movie has been make in memory of the people who fought for America while they stood up to these deadly terrorists. I cried during this film, it really made me show how much the world was brought together on such a tragic day. This documentary film was on the the best of its kind I have seen in a long time. We will all remember what happened on this tragic day and this film really gets an image into out heads as to what really happened on flight 93. Overall excellent film, good job producers!
