I also went to a 1:50 showing. I am still recovering emotionally. Great realism on the United Airlines flight. My father worked for the airline for 45 years and I took that flight many times. I have had the hot breakfast on that plastic square plate with the awful tomato sauce more times then I care to remember. I felt like I was one of them. I returned to my home town late Monday night Sept 10 on a United Flight in first class. I went to work on Sept 11 and was greeted by a call from my father that he knew he saw a United 767 hit the second tower.
another note: I looked on the move website on Drudge and although Robin William's film beat United 93 in total the per theater amounts put United in a big lead. at over $6.465 per theater with Robins film at 4506. If it gets into more theaters (only 1795 to Williams at 3639) it will be huge.

"The terrorists practice a fringe form of Islamic extremism that has been rejected by Muslim scholars and the vast majority of Muslim clerics -- a fringe movement that perverts the peaceful teachings of Islam. The terrorists' directive commands them to kill Christians and Jews, to kill all Americans, and make no distinction among military and civilians, including women and children."
Rejected by Muslim scholars? Am I correct that there is a verse in the Koran to kill Jews and Christians, to kill infidels? Or am I just imagining it?

I probably won't be able to see it until next weekend or the week after that since it is approaching finals time around here.
But, it looks really good.

Didn't see the A and E movie, but by all accounts, this one is much stronger. It puts you inside that plane. It will stay with you for days.

That poster was referring to Hollywood and the awards shows, not the director.
To: CedarDave
Thx CD...I just went to boxofficemojo and it looks like "Flight 93" to going to be quite profitable. It's cost to produce was around $15 million and it will return that plus make a tidy profit. If it tops the $100 mil mark, Hollywood will IMO become a veritable production line of 9/11 films.

That shot makes me want to puke. If they believe that then there is NO redemption for 'em.

I wonder if that POS has the guts to say that to anyone who lost a family member on 9/11. I doubt it.

The guy shaving his body hair was the one who strapped the bomb to his body. I figured he was shaving so that the tape would stick to him better.
OK, I saw it. I got all teary-eyed when we saw the 2nd plane hit the WTC and again when the United 93 passengers realized that this was not an isolated hijacking and that they had to do something even though they were all going to die. I was so impressed at their bravery. It was a very, very powerful film, and I'm glad I saw it. I do not, however, think I could sit through it again for a while. But I will definitely buy it on DVD. It's as important as any film about Pearl Harbor or D-Day.
One thing I did think could have been improved was the fact that, when the Muslims spoke, there were subtitles. But when they prayed, there were no subtitles. Personally, I would have liked to have seen the translation of their prayers to see if they were using those passages from the Koran that they say mean they need to kill us infidels.
We sat through the credits, and were very impressed that so many of the people involved on that day played themselves, including some of the men at the FAA, some of the air traffic controllers and some of the military personnel at NORAD. That must have been very difficult for them, and I applaud their efforts.
And last, but not least, I did recognize one actress in the film. Rebecca Schull played one of the passengers on United 93. I knew her from when she played Faye in "Wings," and relatively recently learned that she is Ben Wattenberg's sister. I don't know what her politics are, but Ben himself leans towards our side.

I happend to read the user reviews on this film from IMDB. This literally took my breath away:
Devastating, Relentless and Ultimately Cathartic
Essential Viewing. Period., 28 April 2006
Author: (I removed his name) from San Francisco, CA, USA
Someone from San Francisco gave it a 10/10. That is one of the more stunning things I have ever seen.
