I guess I get to be first to post about seeing it. I teach US History in a middle school and as a US History teacher I like to see movies about historical events. I thought the movie was very well done and for one of the first times I didn't really notice a political agenda in an Oliver Stone film. I think the movie captures one of the main themes to me of what happened during the attacks and that was the ability of people in this country to ban together during tragedy and overcome. I think there were many people living in the USA before the attacks who may have questioned our ability to come together.
Without giving away any of the main story, I think the way they cut between parts showing the two trapped PAPD officers and parts showing their families was excellent and really pulled you in emotionally. Also, I think the way they portrayed the buildings being hit and falling was excellent because many of people are still very sensitive about seeing those things. I won't spoil it for those of you who plan to see it, but I think it was done in a very respectful manner because we all know what happens.
Overall, I thought the movie was excellent and I would recommend it to anyone especially when you consider the heroes of the day are the focus of the story and not the evil that cause the tragedy.
