I'm surprised there isn't a thread on this movie already (I searched).

I went to see it last night. Wow. Well done, poignant.

No one else has seen this? Hasn't it been out a few weeks?

I may see it, sooner or later. It seems like it will be something very intense.

Yes it was an excellent film. I quite enjoyed it. I found it to be very moving.

How does it end?

Insight · May 17, 2006

It was very... real. At least it seemed pretty real to me. Well-researched. Did a fine job of not politicizing the events. What's also nice is that there are no overblown heroic moments that you might expect in a Hollywood movie. Pretty much a straight shooter.

It ends with a view from the cockpit of the plane heading for the ground. It was a good movie. I wasn't sure how I'd react going in.

I had forgotten that the blackbox cockpit recorder "showed" that the passangers made it into the cockpit, so when they were bashing on the door, I was wondering if they'd make it. And I like the way it ends -- no explosion, no aftermath, just see the ground out the cockpit window, black screen.
