UNITED 93 (2006)

by ThePete 6:00 pm 2006-04-26

Positive Experience/Entertaining? It looks like the same kind of fictional movie as A Perfect Storm. I also think it’s too soon for a big screen movie about 911.

Technically any good? Paul Greengrass is a solid director. While I thought Bourne Supremacy was a supreme disappointment, Bloody Sunday was brilliant. Well shot, well cut, well acted, well everything. Still, I’m concerned that it will end up being a ra-ra, America-is-great kind of movie that can’t possibly hope to be the true story of Flight 93 since no one knows what really happened since there are no survivors.

How did it leave me feeling? The trailer left me feeling like I felt after A Perfect Storm. There is so much conjecture that had to be done for that film, you could have easily had said aliens abducted George Clooney and friends and no one could prove the film wrong. This film suffers from similar limitations. Sure, we have the cell phone calls and the blackbox recording, but short of having a survivor consulting, there are just too many gaps to fill in to make this an accurate movie.

Final Rating? RTV (Rent the Video - I just don’t know how this could be a movie of any depth.)
