The way I hoped this event would never be portrayed . . .

Rating: 1/10 (29 May 2007)

This movie was not a good movie. It is easy to go for tragic emotional impact with an event such as 9/11. In fact, in making a movie about 9/11, an amazing amount of tact and respect are necessary for this. The events in this movie were highly dramatized is highly speculative, but in melodramatic way. This review is not an attempt to belittle what happened that day or on that flight; rather, this is an attempt to say how far off this movie was from reality, to say how far off this movie really was from telling the story it was going for.
While the movie tries to capture the essence of the shock of that day, and while it somewhat outlines events that happened, it cannot help but be taken in a soap opera way. It is a watering down of an important day. It is hardly deserving of awards, and it seems as though the only reason this film gained notoriety is because it was made about 9/11. If one steps back from the film and really watches it, it is no where near a great film. Mediocre at best, but as mentioned before, when tackling an event such as this, mediocre falls tragically short. See it if you want, but don't expect to be impressed.
