BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment
Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
Maleeha Vincent It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
Dale Haufrect Another winner of a motion picture is the Oliver Stone Production of "Flight 93". It is directed by Oliver Stone and and stars Nicolas Cage, Michael Pena, Tom Burnett, Todd Beamer, Deena Burnett, Mark Bingham, Lisa Jefferson, Jeremy Glick, Lyz Glick, Elizabeth Wainio, Ziad Jarrah, Esther Heyman, Lauren Grandcolas, CeeCee Lyoes, Alice Hoglan, Melodie Homer and Leroy Homer. It is the true life adventure of the misfits who hijacked the United Flight 93 and took it down to crash land in a rural area of Pennsylvania. It is currently available on NetFlix Instant Download Streaming and I gave it an eight star rating for its excellent depiction of the tragic and heroic story. Dale Haufrect
ariella cooperman Flight 93 was amazing. I accidentally rented out United 93 when I wanted to watch this movie for the fourth time with my friends, and serioulsly every second I was noticing places where Flight 93 did it better. I almost cried with this movie, since it really brings you into the lives of the people who were involved - both on the plane and off, as in the families and all the tearful conversations and goodbyes. When I was watching United 93 I felt like I was watching a documentary. There was barely any emotion in it. Almost the whole thing takes place on the ground in that big airplane controller room with the tvs, and even only towards the middle do people begin freaking out - up until wayy into the movie no one was even excited, and it was very very boring to me. To me the whole thing was boring, because there was no emotion in it, and after seeing Flight 93, I knew what the story was, and I knew what happened, so seeing a documentary with a little bit more info on the behind the scenes from the controller room was absolutely boring. I watched the movie hoping it would get better but it didn't. The thing is, it probably is possible for people to like United 93, because maybe it could be good, but just not after Flight 93, which I feel may give you an even better grasp of what actually happened that day, and it really makes you cry. It just delivers such a stronger message, and is really amazing all the way through. I saw some comment on United 93 saying something like "the last 15 minutes make you cry!!" I did not cry a bit, or even get close to crying! While with Flight 93, the emotion is there, the whole movie, so obviously you cry at the horrible ending!! I feel that the reason someone would cry at the end of United 93 is just because they feel sad about that actual day, and not because the movie itself actually had such a big effect that it made them cry. I admit, maybe United 93 was more "Hollywood", maybe because it had more big music or something, or maybe it has some more common actors? I don't know, but if anyone wants to use the fact that Flight 93 had no famous actors in it as a reason to prove it's not big - I bought the DVD, and in the behind the scenes thing they explained that although they totally could have had all the famous actors play in the movie, they specifically chose the unknown ones so that it would look more real and it would look more like actual people were dying and not just some actor in another movie. But I was very surprised though that all these actors were unknown, because everyone's acting in this movie was amazing - truly undiscovered talent. All around, Flight 93 had the perfect script, the perfect actors, and all around the perfect technique to make an amazing movie, and while United 93 might have the Hollywood name, it doesn't mean a thing. Flight 93 was DEFINITELY ten times better.
Michael_Elliott Flight 93 (2006) *** 1/2 (out of 4) A&E produced TV flick beat United 93 to be the first film to take on the subject but I'm really not sure which went into production first but I have to wonder how one company didn't sue the other. Both film (of course) take on the same subject but I was a little shocked at how close both screenplays were in the way the story was presented. The camera work was pretty much the same and both films center on certain aspects of the story and some of the scenes seem to have been filmed the same way. With that out of the way, I think this story is one of the greatest to ever deal with a group of heroes and I think you'd have to be unhuman for the story to grab you. This film does a very good job at telling the story even though it never reaches the brilliant level of United 93. This film here goes for more of an emotional punch as a lot of the film centers on the passengers calling home to their loved ones. One of the most emotional scenes is where one of the passengers comes to peace with the fact that he's going to die so he might as well try and save others on the ground. The performances are all very good, although some of the folks playing the family members go a little over the top.
hobblegott It was proved shortly after 9/11 that flight 93 landed and was evacuated to a NASA base and the supposed crash site had no debris from a commercial jet, no bodies, even the coroner was quoted as saying, "I stopped being coroner after 20 minutes. Til this day I've not seen one drop of blood. Not one." Your government lied about the entire 9/11 tragedy. In the courts of ancient Greece it was asked, "Who Stands To Gain?" or "Who Profits?" Study the facts and see who really stood to gain from 9/11! WWW.INFOWARS.COM WWW.PRISONPLANET.COM The Government needed a crisis to convince the people to willingly give up their liberty in exchange for safety. Now the painful facts are in. The dark forces of global government are funding, training and protecting terrorist networks worldwide. "911: The Road to Tyranny" documents the ruthless history of governments orchestrating terrorist attacks against their own people to scare them into total submission. In this brutal expose you will witness the birth of a global police state that surpasses Orwell's nightmarish vision. It's all here: the history of government-sponsored terrorism, the modern implementation of fear-based control and, most frightening of all, the New World Order's future plans. This is one film you cannot afford to ignore. The future of free people everywhere is at stake.
