Yes, dear god, boycott this movie! These people were heros, no doubt, and it was a great tragedy, but the movie is in poor taste.

You'll see after a few days the boycott will show the great \nimpact it caused on the U.S.. A few people will be speechless.

I'm an Independent. I'm not sure what you mean by the "point" of the movie. It is a movie. Yes, it is a recreation of real events, but it is still just a movie.\n\nI don't have any problem with it being made. If it upsets some people, they can ignore it. If it helps people cope with still-lingering pain from that awful day, great.\n\nIt's interesting that the first post to this question was a Republican once again using 9/11 politically. What a shocker.

This Movie is amazing.\n\nI first watched it in 1996 in a D.C. theatre. \n\nI realy suggest everyone watch it, it's interesting that you liked it too. \n\nI've looked it up though and it's "not in stock".\n\nStrange.

It really happened. On September 11, 2001. It is about the plane the terrorists were trying to steer into the White House, but the passengers overpowered them, and it flew into the ground in Pennyslvania instead. \n\nBecause many of the passengers were able to use their cell phones to make calls to both family and to authorities, plus what they could get from the conversations from the tapes in the cockpit, they were able to piece together a fairly close depiction of actual events. \n\nIt is supposed to be really good, leaving nothing to the imagination. I will not be seeing it, becuase as a Flight Attendant for United Airlines at that time and suffering from post-traumatic syndrome since then, I don't need any set backs. I am only now starting to peek out of my shell.

I had a friend who missed her plane that day American Flight 11, she still won't fly. After it happened me and my college buddies drove all night to get to ground Zero and help move rubble hoping to find survivors.\n\nI've healed pretty well since then i saw the film I though it was an excellent film and feel that all those who feel up to it should go see it.

The mark of the beast — sort of — flying over the sands of Daytona Beach this week incited a wave of excitement: the fearful kind.\n\nThe most memorable moment of Terica Washington’s 30th birthday Monday was looking into the sky and seeing an airplane towing a black banner with words written in white: “6/6/06 You have been warned”.\n\nShe was alarmed enough to call the FBI.\n\n“It made me feel really creepy, especially in this day and age,” said Washington, who works at Ocean Walk Resort. Noting that June 6 is a Tuesday, she drew the connection to Sept. 11, 2001, also a Tuesday.\n\n“I thought it might be terrorists,” she said.\n\nEmergency service agencies received several complaints about the banner. And the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office investigated it — and discovered Thursday the banner is promoting a new movie from Twentieth Century Fox. A remake of “The Omen” is scheduled to be released June 6.\n\nThrough a Fort Lauderdale promoter, the company producing the film released this statement, “This weekend, Twentieth Century Fox will introduce ‘The Omen’ to a whole new generation, telling spring breakers, You have been warned! from the sky. We’re thrilled that the college students in Daytona have responded so enthusiastically to the sky banners.”\n\nThe promoter was instructed to alert the local FOX affiliate, a News-Journal competitor, about the reaction.\n\nWashington, when told the banner was a film promotion, said she thought it was “tasteless to do it that way.”\n\n“If it’s a movie,” she said, “at least I’ll have peace of mind.”\n\nWayne Mansfield is the owner of Aviad, who owns the four planes flying the banners in local skies and Panama City, South Padre Island, Texas, and Lake Havasu, Ariz. He’s surprised his signs in the skies are creating such an uproar.\n\n“Everywhere we are, people are jumping up and down,” Mansfield said. “. . . Keep telling yourself, ‘It’s only a movie.’ ”

The fact that the Church is forbidding people to see it must guarantee some box office for the movie!  So many people read the book too and I'd go see it just for the locations where it shot.\n\nBTW, what part of "fiction" do these protesters against the movie and religous types NOT understand?  Why are they getting their knickers in a twist over a freakin' STORY?  Cracks me up.

I just cancelled a vacation to Mexico. I refuse to give them a dime. I am also boycotting Mexican made products. They are interfering with our sovereign rights. I hope more people join in this boycott.

I'm going to go with probably not. Churches literally bought out theaters to watch it with theior youth groups. (Whether they needed that many seats or not!) An interesting side note "Battlefield Earth" is based on the religion Scientology. Poor travolta looks like his religous movie didn't work out quite as well as Mel Gibsons. I was so sad when I heard Tavolta was into scientology.

I have seen the movie. It's impossible to avoid bias in things like these. Clearly Al Gore was/is concerned about Global Warming, but  it's impossible to comment on what should/could/would have happened if things had been different in the election. \n\nI thought the movie was super informative and interesting. It definitely made me think about global warming. It's a really important subject and I think the movie does a good job of introducing the issue to people who might be less informed about it. Go check it out!

With all due respect...your commentary on the film sounds like it came right off the back of the DVD case.\nHistory had a knife plunged into its back in the film "Pearl Harbor."\nThe only historically accurate bits of the film were the time and place of the attack.  American fighter pilots did not engage the Japanese directly over Pearl Harbor or Ford Island that morning.  Japanese attackers initially flew higher than they did in the film.  Messman Doris Miller did not act in the manner in which he was portrayed in the film.  During Col. Doolittle's raid on Japan, no voices of US pilots were heard on US territory; the crews of the planes used CW (Morse Code) to communicate over long distances.  Doolittle's Raiders flew MUCH higher than shown in the film; all bombers did, in order to allow their bombs to arm themselves on the way down and to avoid damage from their own bombs.\nIf you are inspired by the story of Pearl Harbor, get off your backside and GO THERE; see the true story of courage against a determined enemy, and hear it from those who were there that day.  If you'd like to see a film that tells the TRUE story of the attack on Pearl Harbor, see "Tora, Tora, Tora."\nShame on Disney for pretending that they are telling anything close to the truth about the attack on Pearl Harbor.  The true story of the American fight against Japanese imperialism is inspiring enough without having to add several layers of BS to it.

Excellent movie. All stupid Americans should watch it, although US culture is just about eating and pooping and driving a fast car, so you wouldn't understand the depth and drama of every immigrant...\nMost illegals come  legally-on a visa, which is very , VERY hard to renew. US government is made of Nazis, who hate foreigners, despite the fact they are all of Non-American origin...\nLegalization is close to impossible and Americans think you just show up on a visa and they make you a citizen...Noone wants to be illegal! That's like being a slave.

I'm still boycotting Tom Cruise movies since he labeled Brooke Shields' use of antidepressants (to treat her postpartum depression with her first child) as "dangerous." Weeks later Cruise ranted to Matt Lauer on the Today show, "You don't know the history of psychiatry. I do." What a tool.\n\nhttp://vnboards.ign.com/Igraine/b20933/88493192/p1

Try this link. It will reveal and answer a lot of questions you may have.\n\nhttp://fpiarticle.blogspot.com/2006/04/911-in-plane-site.html\n\nI dont believe a plane crashed into the pentagon. Flight 93 was made up. The planes that crashed into the WTC's were not commercial airlines. There is no proof! With all the video footage... you never really see the commercial logos. It's all bogus.\n\nThink about it. Why would the government do this? To create FEAR! This is the new era. There is no more cold war. No more bad super power. So where does the government turn for war? To an invisible word called "Terrorist". The war on terrorism is only a few words. \n\nFear makes me people more controllable. They spend more. They submit to anything that will protect them. And in exchange for it all is our freedom.

can't tell you the "real" story ... but I can tell you the movie was rubbish. Very inaccurate, to say the least.\nBy the way, you say not to reply with insults against arabs ... what does the movie have to with arabs???????
