DVD Reviews of Flight 93: The Movie
DVD Review: Flight 93
Summary: 5 Stars
After I visited this area this fall it made it more real. You could associate with the people on the plane. You began to think of them as real and not just a movie that was made to watch and then go on with your life.
We were able to see the memorial that they have put up and with the names on benches and on angles it was for real.

Summary: 4 Stars
This film was fine, although ever-so-slightly over-acted. I would like the film better if it didn't pale in comparison to United 93, which felt much more authentic.
Another thing about Flight 93 is that the ending felt strange and anti-climactic. United 93 was much more effective.
DVD Review: One of the most moving movies that I have ever seen
Summary: 5 Stars
On September 11, 2001, as the bad news came flying in, hot and heavy, a different note was suddenly sounded. It seemed that on one flight the passengers had put up a fight, and had caused the crash of their plane themselves, rather than waiting for the terrorists to use it as a weapon. This is the story of that flight, United Airlines Flight 93, the flight that fought back.
Even though this was originally a made-for-TV movie, it is in fact one of the most moving movies that I have ever seen. The creators of the film did an excellent job of taking the bare facts of what happened, and fleshing it out into a believable and very moving film. So, if you want to see a great movie about United Airlines Flight 93, a movie that will really touch you down deep inside, then get this DVD. I give it my highest recommendations.
Description of Flight 93: The Movie
Tells the story of the people on United flight 93, one of the four hijacked planes on September 11, 2001, and how they foiled their hijackers' terrorist plot.Genre: Feature Film-Drama
Rating: UN
Release Date: 1-SEP-2006
Media Type: DVD
Three months before the much-publicized theatrical release of United 93, the same true-life tragedy was faithfully dramatized in Flight 93, an equally praiseworthy TV movie that was originally broadcast on the A&E network on January 30, 2006. The fourth plane to be hijacked on September 11th, 2001 - and the only plane that didn't reach its intended terrorist target - is the riveting subject of this film, which unfolds in real-time (similar but not identical to United 93), beginning with the terrorists' preparations and boarding of the ill-fated flight. We then follow the notorious events as they unfold, and from that moment on, it's nearly impossible to take your eyes off the screen. The intense drama focuses on the passengers who ultimately thwarted the terrorists - they include Tom Burnett (Jeffrey Nordling), Todd Beamer (Brennan Elliot), and Mark Bingham (Ty Olsson) - but as their counter-attack plans are being made, the action also reveals the chaotic nature of the ground response, from the White House bunker (where Vice President Cheney was moved for security) to Offices of the Federal Aviation Agency, Verizon headquarters (where in-flight calls were monitored), and United Airlines flight control, where pilots and terrorists alike could be heard throughout the terrible ordeal of the hijacking.
To his credit, director Peter Markle steers clear from any sense of exploitation (it helps that there was a five-year gap between the 9/11 tragedy and this respectable film); furthermore, both Markle and screenwriter Nevin Schreiner avoid the pitfalls of melodrama by keeping the action rooted in the facts as we know them. Speculation is necessary for some of the dramatic details, but Flight 93 benefits from a well-chosen cast of unknowns, which enhances our belief in them as ordinary citizens under extraordinary circumstances. As you might expect, several scenes are inherently unforgettable (up to and including the now heroic phrase "Let's roll!" as the counter-attack begins), and the authentically played emotions are further intensified by realistic special effects by Gary Gutierrez, who performed similarly laudable duties on The Right Stuff 23 years earlier, at the start of his visual effects career. Produced with the cooperation of surviving family members of those who perished on Flight 93, this well-made TV film handles difficult material with grace under pressure, and that alone serves as an admirable tribute to those brave passengers who gave their lives so that others could be saved. --Jeff Shannon
