I wanted to see it, and was planning to do just that - and what stopped me was the "depression factor". Not sure if I want to see a film that will leave me depressed for a while.
Did it have this effect on you, and if so, for how long?
Thanks.

I didn't feel depressed. Just confirmed in that sense that we are truly at war, and that the worst thing we could do is forget what these brave people did and treat those committed jihadist warriors as mere fanatics.

Have not seen the movie. And don't plan to. My friend, and my immediate reaction to seeing the movie trailer was "propaganda". The word came out of our mouths at the same time. I truly do grieve for the families of those on-board. That is not me being sarcastic.
There is some truly weird stuff going on about that flight.
Did you know there were only 45 people on board, including five flight attendants, two pilots? The plane was 85% empty. Pretty convenient for the hijackers.
Did you know that wreckage was scattered over an eight mile area? Did not know that crashing airplanes could leave such devastation.
Did you know as reported in the UK's Guardian that: "At 9:58am, an emergency dispatcher had answered a telephone call from a man who said he was a passenger locked in a bathroom on United Airlines flight 93 ... The plane was 'going down,' he said. He had heard some sort of explosion and said there was white smoke coming from the aircraft." Engine trouble?
Don't believe me. Just do some research on the subject.

The plane was 85% empty. That's not unusual for a Tuesday morning flight.
Did you know that wreckage was scattered over an eight mile area? Did not know that crashing airplanes could leave such devastation. False, unless one buys into tinfoil hat conspiracy theories.
Many of your allegations are debunked at snopes.com Visit it. It's a wonderful site for debunking urban legends.

Thanks, David. Boy, if someone honestly thinks United 93 was something other than an Arab conspiracy, then you would have to have a bunch of flight controllers and passenger families in on it.
Not gonna happen.

Thanks for the link to snopes.com
Just curious as how you came up with so-called "allegations" I am making.
I wrote: "There is some truly weird stuff going on about that flight." and then, "Don't believe me. Just do some research on the subject." Obviously you have done some research on the subject.
But what allegations? Did I say that "Republicans planned the entire thing out?" or "The plane was shot down?"
I was making observations. And I was only making a couple of observations.
From the snopes site you provided http://www.snopes.com/rumors/beamer.htm
"What happened afterwards is the mystery. The cockpit tapes reveal a struggle between passengers and hijackers, but just why the plane crashed into a Pennsylvania field remains unclear. Newsweek wrote that the tapes "strongly suggest that the hijackers flew the plane into the ground under a ferocious assault from the passengers," but the evidence is insufficient for that conclusion to be more than speculation. Did the passengers deliberately crash the flight to foil the terrorist plot? Did both sides inflict so much damage on each other that no one was in control of the plane at the end? Did the terrorists set off the bomb one of them claimed to be carrying? Or was Flight 93, as some have suggested, shot down by Air Force fighters scrambled to intercept it? We just don't know."
The first and last sentences in the quote get it exactly.

We don't know because all the witnesses died.
If you aren't implying a conspiracy, what are you implying?
I fly for business. I've been on many flights that have a few passengers. I even know of cases where fewer than ten people were on flight that could hold over 100.
So what? Anyone can play the "What if?" game. The information we have is reasonable given the circumstances. There is nothing inherently suspicious with the circumstances. Therefore, there is no basis for going off on some wild tangent.
