Terrible.

United 93 is extremely unnecessary movie which shouldn't exist at all, unfortunately, it do exists, more unfortunately, people are so biased reviewing this and giving it a critical acclaim.

I dare to say it, the movie was terrible from start to finish, why would you cash-in on a tragedy if you have nothing to present? what was the purpose? because whatever it was, it failed on every level, people are watching this, remembering the tragedy which put them on the spot they wanted (let's watch a movie about 9/11) and that's that, while in reality the movie have no quality of being a movie at all.

If you are familiar with Paul Greengrass work (The Bourne trilogy) you'd know that he's a brilliant editor, he's very fascinating in showing you how people work around their desks and how things are connected, before with the Bourne movies, there were many scenes of the CIA working on their computers trying to trace bourne and how things look at the office and he made it look very entertaining, so he employed the same technique here, he tried to show you that the FAA was working really hard trying to trace these missing airlines, he even employed real people, real FAA officers and told them to react to CNN live feed of the 2nd plane hitting the world trade center, and he basically tried to show you what was really going on there, but that was completely unnecessary, he was just buying time to make it a full length movie, frankly, i hoped to see something i haven't seen before, like how the FAA closed their Air space for the first time in history without any accidents, i hoped so much and got so little, and there was nothing here that i didn't know before.

The most annoying thing was the camera work, Paul Greengrass tried to show you a realistic look inside the plane, but i felt so dizzy with that shaky camera and heavy editing, and the movie isn't informative at all, it wasn't anything really, all i learned was that the president was the only person who have the authority to issue an Air strike against possible hijacked airplanes and i already knew that, which is the reason i asked about the purpose of this creation.

The movie tried not to humanize the terrorists and tried to show you the heroes (the passengers) as they try to regain the airplane back from the terrorists, but no one will ever know for sure what happened there, and the movie didn't focus on the passengers, instead, it focused on the terrorists, because the movie starts with them getting prepared to do the job, and shows you how they were nervous and not ready, and that was wrong on so many levels, because now we don't know who the passengers were, and we didn't feel their fear, it was just shallow and not memorable.

So overall, a movie without a script, without characters, without performances, without anything to present is not a movie, it was just mainstream Hollywood trying to fill their wallets cashing on people's memory of a horrible day.
