| I want to, but I'm not sure if I'm ready yet. I have a friend who's going to see it first, and then tell me more about it.

| I am really not sure. I lost friends in 911 and not sure I am ready for this. I still won't go to ground zero.

| Yes, I think I am going to go see it tonight. If the families of the victims didn't approve of it I wouldn't see it (or give Hollywood my money for such a film), but since they did unanimously approve of it, I will. I feel better knowing that a portion of the proceeds are going to charity.

Although I know it will be extremely disturbing, I feel compelled to see it. My husband has an office in the Capital building. I know I'll never forget the horror of that day. I'm eternally grateful to those passengers who prevented that plane from reaching Washington. Pamella | |

| My friend's roomate was a sailor who worked out at the Pentagon. She never came home from work that day. http://www.flight93memorialproject.org/ They are only donating 10% of the profit for the first 3 days the film is out. I never watch movies within the first 3 days of being out. Since they will probably make millions I personally feel like that that is the bare minimum. It turns my stomach to think that people could have wanted to make this film to profit off of all of those deaths. I am glad that some of the families approve, but to me they are not giving enough of their profits. this is from the website http://www.flight93memorialproject.org/ It was announced today by the Families of Flight 93 that the Flight 93 National Memorial will receive 10 percent of all box-office revenue collected from the first three days of the North American release of Universal Pictures’ United 93, which opens in theaters on Friday, April 28, 2006.. |

| I belive that this Film is 10 years ahead of its time. Our Nation is still healing. To open this wound up when it is still so fresh is just asking for trouble! I find it very insensitive... Its nice that the families approve... But there are billions of Americans who did not attend intense therapy after 9-11 to cope with what happened that day. Some of us did not let go, and some of us are not over it! Some of us still don't know quite how to explain it to our children... And I for one am not ready to rehash it. Money for Charity? Have a Benefit Concert, or a Telethon... But don't strike fear in the core of the American People. This movie will put some people over the edge.... Its just too soon! Way too soon!

Well said, Just driving around here and seeing the 911 memorials in all the towns hits home everyday, knowing that there were children who in an instant were without mother or fathers, parents lost children, spouses lost each other. It doesnt seem like it is almost 5 years ago, still seems like yesterday.

| I want to see it but it is too soon for me. Maybe I'll rent it when it hits the shelves. Until then I will just wait and try to heal. |
