Powerful

Rating: 10/10 (28 April 2006)

I've seen the TV movie about flight 93 and thought it was good, but this one was extremely powerful and worthy of the big screen.
The buildup was kind of slow, but effective. It showed the ground control, air traffic controllers slowly becoming aware of what was going on. Living in NYC it gave me a sick feeling like I was reliving that day. Everyone was so confused and this was completely unprecedented. No one really knew what to do, but by the looks of it the movie they seemed to do the best they could.
The tension rose slowly and steadily and since we all knew how the story end, kind of like watching titanic. My heart broke for all those passengers since I KNEW what their fate was. I felt like I was on that plane with all those doomed people. The scene where they stood and violently made their hijaking known shook me to the core. I could barely watch it.
This is not really a spoiler since we all know based on the phone calls that they did ralley together and try and fight back. It was heartbreaking and inspiring seeing their courage. They seemed to know this was their only shot and they went down with gusto. Despite the fact that we all know how that story ended I still could not help feeling that I wished it could have turned out differently, that they were able to get back control of the plane. They did not go gentle in to that good night.
This movie was incredible. It shook me to the core. Go see it. You will cry. You will remember and you will realize how lucky you are every day you have on this earth.
