What's best?

I rented Flight 93 the other day thinking that i was getting the United 93 DVD instead. I just got the titles slightly mixed up! What an idiot! :o

Flight 93 was actually an OK film. It was quite moving in parts although it was more like a 'made for TV' movie.

So, has anyone seen both? Is it worth me watching United 93 when i've already seen Flight 93?

I have seen both fozzy, and flight 93 is one of the worst films I have even seen! Its incredibly cheesey, infact it has quite high comedy value.:p

Was it really that bad? I do admit that it was more like a TV movie more than anything else. :)

So, by what you're saying, if i liked Flight 93, i should love United 93?

Not at all they are totally different films, personally I dont like Cheesey movies eg Flight 93 and the new Nicolas cage film - World Trade center. United 93 is a gritty, realistic, harrowing and excellent film, I would recommend it to anyone but I am not sure what types of film you like so unsure if you will like it.

I'll give it a watch sometime. I do enjoy films that are based on true stories.

Flight 93 spent longer on the individual characters where United 93 didn't.
I found United 93 not to be very upsetting because of this where Flight 93 made me numb.

Having now watched United 93, I completely agree with dmpoole's post.

Although United 93 was more professionally made, it forgot to concentrate on the real stars of the film, the passengers of the plane.

There was absolutely no effort made to build the characters up of the passengers leaving me feeling totally underwhelmed at the end of the film.

Flight 93 at least made some effort to build characters and for me, it was a more emotional and powerful film than United 93.
