I just finished watching this. I was riveted from beginning to end, although we all know how it ends. Heart-wrenching and brilliant.
9.5/10.

QUOTE(Jasonist @ Feb 15 2007, 09:43 PM) This movie quite sometime already. If not mistaken is last year summer movie. At first i saw it will be showing in GSC. Then postponed then no more sign of this movie already. It is a nice movie. This movie style is like a documentary type. Like it a lot. Tear automatically drop before the plane crash. |

Just another US political agenda. A bit like Black Hawk Down. It only shows the good side of America. How "innocent" they are.
But if you put that aside, it's quite a good movie. Not brilliant, but better than WTC in my opinion. |

How does it show the americans are good? The movie only unexploitedly (is this a word? But if you put that aside, it's quite a good movie. Not brilliant, but better than WTC in my opinion. BTW the director is Paul Greengrass, a British. |

Em, this movie doesnt take sides at all. Neither does it make any political statement. Its just recreated events as it happened. Burga - who initially wasnt all that impressed on the first viewing. |

Wow, this movie came out last year and now only got thread
What I like bout this movie is that everything looks so real as though you're one of the Americans on 911. Nothing detailed bout the Pentagon and WTC crashes, all we know is they crashed. The directing was very focused in the United 93 plane and it really showed me the courage that those people had. Nice movie |

this movie is really offending. the only good thing about it was the continuous 'tension' it created esp during the last minutes. a good b-movie for the summer. at least its wayy better than preachy-emo-shit WTC.

is this one involved alot of towers conversation? If yes, it is pretty boring imo. The dialog is very tense somehow the motion picture doesn't seems so aggressive. haha
Another got alot of action on the plane. I prefer dat one. It's so sad to see them 1 by 1 calling back home. And the families members couldn't do anything. All we can do is crying for miracle. One thing i think terrorist is smart bout shaving off the hair before tie up the C4. |

There's even hard proof from the plane's blackbox that the terrorists were praying before the plane plummeted. No one is blaming arabs in general. No one is blaming Islam. |

QUOTE(wiNd @ Feb 16 2007, 08:58 PM) Completely different movies. One is an action movie the other is a gut-wrenching retelling of what happened on september 11th. Though Air Force One is by no means a bad movie, it's still enjoyable. But you really cannot compare them both.malayneum you look like one of those regular trolls whose arguments hold no water whatsoever. |
