Movie Reviews of World Trade Center (Two-Disc Special Collector's Edition) [Blu-ray]
Movie Review: This film does not do justice to the TRUE Heroes of 911.
Summary: 1 Stars
The men who died and risked their lives were true heroes, and true men of honor, not this band of candy-coated liberal sissies that made the movie.
I'm sorry they missed the chance to film a movie that would truly honor the fallen and be a memorial to them. This is just another heap of Hollywood and Liberal media style bs.
Oh please. Of all people to play the part of a heroic paramedic risking his life to save others, Nicholas Cage? Cage? The talentless actor who makes millions per year, couldn't act his way out of a paper bag, doesn't even do the minimum expected that any of us would do if we were in such a fortunate position--working out, fixing his male pattern baldness, taking acting lessons, looking decent, etc. If anything, he is the OPPOSITE of the character he was casting.
Storyline does not even remotely follow the truth about what happened that day among the real people the story was supposed to be about.
Shame on everyone who created this film. Very sorry job.
Movie Review: Brilliant film
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a brilliant story. It follows a police officer and shows another side of september 11. It is fiction, but at the same time is close to the truth. (I might be wrong about that actually, it might be a true story) Forgive me for not having the full facts on it before typing this review. It is well worth seeing all the same.Movie Review: it was excellent

Summary: 5 Stars
I had a dentist appointment in Toms River, NJ on 9/11/2001. I watched, like many, in horror, at the events unfolding in NYC, and was completely devastated. Like many, I know exactly where I was, what my mom said to me, when she put on the news, and I saw the planes hit the towers on CNN. It was impossible, and ubelievable at the time.
Since then, I've made it a point to become more involved in world events to understand all of the "behind the scenes" structure, and international events/politics, not just those on American soil to gain perspective on how horrible things like this can happen here and around the world.
Although I can't imagine the pain that families who didn't know if their sons, daughters, lovers, sisters, friends and others, had perished, I have felt loss. This film captures at least some of this horrendous anxiety that was felt in the US, and specifically for everyone directly affected. I just watched this film, today, 9 years after the events (I previously also saw United 93).
Sgtrictly from a cinematic standpoint, and as an avid hi-def collector, The PQ and sound on the HD DVD are spectacular and it's the special features that really make this story even more real. As an East Coast resident, it was too soon for me, to watch this in theaters. As an avid NYC visitor, I have friends who work or have friends/relatives in the area, and when I saw the movie today, for the 1st time, the movie captured the mayhem that they described.
I actually think it was a good thing that only a handful of characters were chosen to attempt to tell an uplifting story and provide some focus. I've seen several WTC documentaries, to try to get my mind around this horrible event. Triumphs were rare that day, and unfortunately most of the 4000 total people who died, and their families were not able to celebrate any.
This film was supposed to be an exception, a film about the sparse hope and miracles that existed that day. I don't believe you can make a 2 hour film with 40 characters. There were probably many different viewpoints and experiences amidst that chaos and no one can sum all of them up in 2 hours, not even a major director; it may even dilute the film, and create an overwhelming "split screen" type atmosphere. I felt emotionally invested in the characters, because there was focus.
The method of involving a few families,created at least some frame work and representation of the events. And as is the case with all films about real wars, or other current events, the viewpoints, especially amidst chaos, will be as different as the stars in the universe. This was a very touching film, and I highly recommend that you take the time (and emotional energy) to watch it, and the extras, they are worth it. May we, and other people around the world, who have previously lived under the every day anxiety of death caused by terrorism, never have to experience another event life this again.
Movie Review: 7 Years Later...
Summary: 3 Stars
It has been 7 years since that tragic day. I was in sixth grade when it happened. None of our teachers told us anything, so my dad told me about it, and I didn't know what to think!
Nicolas Cage stars as Port Authority police officer John McLoughlin, and his friend, Will Jimeno who become trapped in the rubble of the World Trade Center. They struggle to survive and wait to be rescued. If you are a patriot, hate terrorists, and want to take a huge dump in Osama Bin Laden's mouth, you'll like WORLD TRADE CENTER!!!
