Nothing you expect... A must watch

Rating: 9/10 (28 April 2006)

I'm very against the commercializing of 9/11, so chances are this is the only 9/11 film I will have watched.
More of a docu-drama, United 93 focuses as much on air traffic control and military ops on that day as it does on the flight where 40 passengers stood their ground.
I found this film to be very well done (the "look" and angles make it more personal, unlike Hollywood Blockbusters). The score doesn't interrupt the story, and the story... well, it's realistic, believable and really makes you feel like you're watching in real-time as the morning's events unfold.
For those faint at heart, there are but a few "rough watch spots," and all I can say is there's no choice but to watch them.
I saw this in a theater that showed no previews, and posted a silent screen simply requesting that all cell phones be turned off.
There are things to learn, and though some things seem to be placed for political reasons, I doubt they were. I don't think we'll see a "truer" film on the big screen about 9/11.
I found United 93 to be an educational experience, which also reminded me how important it is to live life each day, and to simply be... an American. It was an experience I'll never forget, and it's a film I'll not need to watch twice. It left me with the emotion that what I felt on that day in '01 has never diminished.
