New Yorker
I'm skipping it. I lived through that day -- I don't need to watch it on the screen.
I think another big issue for me, and ouizy mentioned it above, is the fact that they used so much of the WTC in their promos. The posters were the worst. When I first saw them with the plane, the towers in flames and a huge Statue of Liberty, my first reaction was "I thought United 93 crashed in Pennsylvania, not in New York." I was right, of course, so why all the NYC references?
I also don't like the fact that this has been, or at least seems to be, promoted as a documentary. It's totally a fictional drama. No one knows most of what happened on that plane between the passengers and terrorists except for those who died.
As for the Oliver Stone WTC movie, I'm not so sure about that one yet. I saw a picture in Entertainment Weekly from the film of Nic Cage in the movie in a recreation of the WTC mall. I found it facinating and heartbreaking -- it really did look like the mall and was very accurate but maybe too accurate for my taste. The last time I was in that mall was Sept. 10, 2001. I wish I could go back and see it again even if it is on screen but that may be too much for me.
