Exactly. Only without the Steven Spielberg/Tom Hanks/Matty Damon/Liam Neeson star power behind it.

I'm not sure yet that it's a money grab. And I know full well it's not going to be a relaxing movie -- it's going to be tense. Almost, as I've heard it described, like Titanic, in that you know what's going to happen, except without Kate Winslet and Leo DiCaprio humping in a car on the cargo deck. Like I said in the original post, I'll reserve further judgement until I've seen it, which I hope to do soon.

I have a feeling it will be like Saving Private Ryan or Schindler's List. One of those movies I feel the need to see, but not watch again and again. Not because the afforementioned films aren't wonderful cinematic masterpieces, because they are, but because they ARE painful and difficult to watch. Because they are SUPPOSED to be.

I'm not going to see it. The way I see it, they're trying to make money off a national tragedy. Also, when I go to the movies, I go to relax and escape for two hours. Seeing this movie would not be an escape.
