I was so disappointed by this movie. I was hoping so badly that it would be well produced, but I really don't think it was. It just straight up didn't feel real enough. It was so poorly executed. It was also emotionally exhausting. Ik a 9/11 movie is supposed to be that way, but it was overkill. This movie is a soap opera. Half of this movie was flight 93 passengers on the phone with their loved ones which came to be exhausting at a certain point. I found myself fast forwarding through those scenes about two-thirds into the movie. Really bummed out by this movie, not sure why it has even a 66% on here

Literally my only complaint of this movie is the actress who played Jeremy's wife, Liz. Completely took me out of it. Everyone else was amazing. No spoilers, but at one point Elizabeth and Tom made me cry. Terrific acting from all those playing the real people on board the tragic flight.

A tear jerking, poweful and well acted drama based upon true events that occured on 9/11 and a few brave souls who chose to sacrifice themselves rather than to give themselves up to fear. (A+)

I just watched this film Flight 93 on the Roku Channel (my Roku device's exclusive channel) and I can say with absolute certainty that this version is far superior to United 93, which had a bigger budget, a bigtime director and bigger actors. Flight 93 got to the heart of the matter, and gave a terrifying up close and personal account of those passengers on United 93. And it helped that there weren't big name actors in it, distracting from the story. This is the film United 93 should have been, but wasn't. Flight 93 was such a hard film to watch because it simply showed the horror of the passengers knowing that they probably wouldn't survive the terrorist hijacking of the plane, and their helpless family members listening to the people they loved preparing to die. Yet, the courage the passengers showed is commendable. They refused to go down without a fight, and as a result, countless lives were saved because of their bravery. Big budget Hollywood films have a tendency to over do it, but Flight 93 had the look of a big budget film, but the heart and soul of Independent film. If you ever find it, it's well worth a watch, but get your tissues ready because you will probably be crying like a baby.

I remember this day so well. I was correcting papers during my prep period in Altoona High when another teacher told me to turn on the TV and I could not believe what I saw! The World Trade Center, which I had gone to the top of twice, was burning and I saw the second plane ram into ti. My husband, who fixed buiness machines in offices was in Johnstown, my son working in a federal building in Pittsburgh. The school went on lockdown, grandparents came to try to take their grandchildren home and were turned away. I worried for m husband and son and my college roommate who worked in DC.It was so horrible, but not as bad for me as for those brave, desperate people on this flight, who did not go quietly into that good night. This film brought it all back. We didn't try to hold class, just talked to the kids about what was happening and guessing why, listened to the TV and tried to reassure them. When I heard about the plane crash in Shanksville, I prayed that my husband's route in driving was no where near there, and thank God it wasn't. That night we called our son and my friend. Her husband, who often went to the gym to play basketball at the Pentagon, had not been there that day. We went over to our friend's house and I spent the night holding their baby grandson. Somehow, that gave me hope. He's in the Air Force now. I hope he stays safe.

Flight 93 is a heartwarming and brilliant movie. This movie is based on the September 11 attacks about the fourth plane Flight 93 that went down in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. A movie about the brave passengers that fought for their lives against the hijackers is brilliant. I would very much suggest this movies.

Flight 93 is most certainly destined to be overshadowed by United 93, but this should not diminish what Markle and company have done here.

Rated: 4/5

Cinema em Cena

Apesar de se entregar ao melodrama em um ou outro momento, de modo geral consegue manter o foco da narrativa e conferir um tom de verossimilhana aos acontecimentos.
