United 93 (DVD, 2006, Full Frame)

This movie is sooo good, I was on the edge of the chair the whole time! Talk about heroes! Sad that intervention for those people happened way too late. oh yeah....how about the guy that nearly missed the flight but sadly made it aboard only to end up losing his life with the rest of the crew. Excellent movie that makes your heart feel pain even though they are all heroes(except for those ignorant high-jakers).

What a perspective on an event that changed the United States. I was impressed with how this movie protrayed the events of that morning. I know we will never know the full facts of all that happened but this does give an example of how just every day regular people got into a situation and did the best they could for their fellow citizens. I had heard stories about the flight 93 and seeing this movie made me even more thankful for what those brave people did for our Country. I highly recommend seeing this movie.

United 93 is a very emotional movie but very realistic of what actual occurred on that unforgetable day when United States was attacked by terrorists.

All good, fast shipping. Awesome movie. Love the way its shot. If you like the Bourne movies... you'll like this one... same director.

This film was gripping. The actual flight flew above my hometown. There are no big name actors. In deference to the families,the passengers are portrayed as closely as possible to those they represent. The Air Traffic Controllers portray themselves...you see the real people who dealt with this . It is a part of our History now. Mistakes made by the Government are apparent, not covered up. You can watch it 5 times and still be saying..."Oh My God!"

This was very well made,depicts what happened on 9-11 probably as realistically as anyone will ever know. It was extremely hard to watch, but all Americans should see how brave these average every day Americans were to fight the enemy without weapons and in just a moments notice.I would'nt dream of not owning this movie.

This was a wonderful story about the only flight that didnt make its destination on september 11!
fair warning, if september 11 made you feel anxiety or bring out a fear of flying .... watching this movie will bring out the nightmares and anxiety all over again, very strong!
i personaly thought the movie might be controversial esspecialy for people who lost someone (someone is making money off of glamorizing the event) .... HOWEVER, i gave it a chance and watched it, it looks like its a good foundation movie, they used REAL people who were involved in the REAL 9/11 incident and had them re-create what they went through as they powerlessly watched the planes go down (air traffic controlers, security, etc) .... in the end the movie is dedicated to all who lost their lives in this even and it gives you a chance to donate to a good cause!!
i suggest watching it!

I AM SO HAPPY WITH MY DVD. WILL DO BUISNESS WITH SELLER AGAIN. SELLER KEEPS GOOD CONTACT WITH COSTUMER!!!!!!!!!!

United 93 presents in chronological order the horrific sequence of events that occurred on 9-11-01, which resulted in the World Trade Center Twin Towers collapse, the Pentagon strike, and the crash of United 93 in a farmfield in Pennsylvania.

(United 93 is the airplane that was hijacked by terrorists with the purpose of crashing it into the Capitol building (or the White House)).

The movie is very well done, presented in a factual manner with little Hollywood hyperbole. It takes the viewer from the hotel rooms of the terrorists (praying to Allah for success), to the air-traffic controllers who tried to make sense out of the events as they occurred in real time, to the boarding of the passengers of United 93, the hijacking, and the heroic, yet failed attempt to regain control of the plane by a group of United passengers. One can viscerallty sense the profound confusion and indecision of the air-traffic controllers and the passengers that fateful day. What was going on? How to respond to it? The communications between the air-traffic controllers, the military, and the President is shown to be confused and incomplete. Can United 93 be shot down by militry jets to prevent another major catastrophe? Our unpreparedness for this type of attack is clearly evident.

While air-traffic controllers struggle to determine what to do, we also view the evolving condition on the airplane. Step by step, as more information is obtained by passengers on furtive cell-phone calls to family members, they come to the stark realization that their plane is doomed, and that they must do something to prevent another disasterous crash.

As the plane speeds headlong into its final moments, with the passengers fighting for control of the cockpit, we see the ground rapidly looming up in the windows of the plane, exactly as the passengers must have seen. It is gripping and horrible. It feels like we are in the plane with the passengers: the fighting, the confusion, the screams, the plane lurching to and fro, the abject terror of the moment. Then all goes dark.

This production seems more like a documentary than a movie production. For instance, the names of the 37 passengers are not given, nor is there any significant character development. The viewer gets the sense that these 37 random people boarded the plane, knowing nothing about each other, and were forced to quickly 'unite", communicate, and then react to the developing situation. Despite the sparce characterizations, there is still considerable emotional impact, as the humanity of the passengers and crew is shown as they make calls to their loved ones to say a final "goodbye".

There is historical debate whether the passengers actually entered into the cockpit. However, there is no doubt that their actions in trying to retake the plane resulted in the crash, and saved Washington from a direct hit on a symbol of American government (the Capitol building).[...]

We are nearly 8 years removed from 9-11-01, when Bin Laden boldly proclaimed war on the USA. Although we are fortunate to not have suffered another homeland terrorist attack, Bin Laden is still at large, and no doubt has plans to strike us again. Watching this movie reminds me that the war of terror continues, and we must be continually vigilant lest we forget the past.

United 93 is a realistic and touching story about the brave heros who tried to over take a hijacked plane. Great Buy A+

This movie was ok. I thought that it focused to much on what the people in the command/control centers were doing; not the fear of the people within the plane. See flight 93. I think it is a better choice and tells the story better and has a more on-edge feel.

Action packed thriller that allows you to experience the last moments of what happened to the people that were aboard flight 93 the day of 9/11. It keeps you in perspective the whole time of what events actually occurred, the last moment telephone conversations with family and their heroic attempt to stop the plane from crashing into another government building that could have been even more devistating to this country. You will love it.

I always want to know what has happened in a certain situation. This movie was done with piecing conversation that people had on the flight with answer machine messages, family talking to those on the plane, etc. I think educating people as to what they beleive happened on the plane will help other be more aware and also honor those that did what they could to make sure more people were not killed. God bless them and their family. If you do not like to watching movies like this, then do not watch it.

We seen part of the movie and wanted to see the rest so I went to ebay to find it. The price was great.

This is one of the best movies to portray a true history that happened at Dallas Fort Worth airport in 1985. Very well done with a great story line.
I purchased as a part of Dallas HIstory.
Thanks, LW

Never recieved it and the seller is no longer on eBay and Paypal has the wrong ID number so I can't file claim

I bid on this item because I had heard so much about the movie but had not seen it for sale in the various places I go which sell DVD's. The purchase was so easy, and the shipping was fast and efficient. I have watched the movie 4 times so far, and it has kept me on the edge of my chair each time with tension and excitement, even though I knew the final outcome all the time from news reports. It brought the lives of some of the poor people involved in that horrible experience into proper perspective for me and made me more aware that they were humans and not just items in the news.

I'm really glad I had the opportunity to make this purchase so easily and economically through E-Bay.
