Surreal and Moving

Rating: 10/10 (7 May 2006)

I wanted to see this film, mainly because of all of the controversy surrounding it. I automatically thought it would have been made to be extremely Hollywood. But I was surprised. This film was probably the most emotionally moving, heart wrenching film I've ever seen. It's very strange because your watching it, and you're thinking, this is a sad film, then the realisation suddenly kicks in that it's not just a film, that what you're watching happened pretty much word for word. The actors/actresses in the film make it so watchable, and I sometimes found myself forgetting that what I was watching wasn't "documentary" footage from the actual plane. The actions of the people on that plane showed true courage and determination. I'm British, but after watching this film, I would be proud to be an American. If your ready for an emotional true story, then I recommend this film 110%
