God, that's powerful stuff. I've seen it too. It's really a shock to the system. Incredibly potent. The truth.
I haven't seen United 93, but it seems far more respectful of 9/11 than this cheesy cash-in. This looks like something that should go on the shelf beside Michael Bay's Pearl Harbor.

Believe me, it was no hoax. Those planes really did fly into those buildings. Speculate all you want on the motives or the lack of intelligence, but don't call the actual events a hoax. I know people who died on that day.
God rest their souls.
Kind of like how anyone who didn't like Brokeback Mountain was homophobic and anyone who didn't give Schidler's List a good writ-up was anti-semetic? That's sort of ridiculous.
But back to the topic at hand, this isn't the first 9/11 movie. Technically it isn't even the second. The best 9/11 movie is 9/11. The documentary shot by two German filmmakers who were doing a bit on one of the firefighters of NYC that day caught the real spirit of the day

What happens to the people who give this movies bad reviews? They get labelled as Communists.

With this sort of thing, it is always difficult in film. People died in this horrible tradgedy, and I think that any attempt to translate to film will be, well, film. It's almost impossible to separated the work from the subject matter in cases like this.
