I'm going to see it when I get a chance. I'm sure it's a great movie.
That said, I would take the "facts" in this movie rather lightly. 95% of what went on during that flight is unknown. The little that is known is known because of a few very short phone calls that passengers made -- certainly not enough to know much detail of what went on.
The heroic story of the passengers charging the cabin, while apparently true, appears to have had very little to do with the reason that the plane went down. All of the eye witnesses on the ground say they saw the plane get shot down, and the wreckage pattern on the ground was not one of plane crashing, but of a plane exploding while up in the air. The wreckage was spread over a 7 mile area, and one of the engines was found well over a mile from the main section of the plane -- perhaps a sign that it was hit with a heat-seeking missle while the plane was up in the air.
It's obviously hard to make a movie about this when there are no survivors. It makes most of it guesswork. I'm more curious to see Oliver Stone's movie that's coming out in the Summer. From what I've read, it is about a couple of people who survived from the WTC.
