I enjoyed the movie, with the exception of the "retired Marine Captain", as a Marine, I feel that Disney could have done a lot better job of getting a real Marine to play that roll, not some overweight clumsy disrespectful clod. He was an embarrassment to anyone who has ever worn the uniform.
I like many others will never forget where they were, what they were doing and life after 9/11 and feel that Disney and everyone involved in this production did a wonderful job. While there are some here that see this as propaganda or a ploy to get people involved in the military, I can only state that you missed the entire point of this saga.
My husband was an integral part of the security (as an MA) on the Connie at this time. He wasn't part of the Tiger cruise due to his need to set up security for its homecoming.
I have a special interest in propaganda films and how they're made. Unlike a film made to merely entertain or distract, a propaganda film has a specific and identifiable goal.
First, this movie is an excellent demonstration of Hayden Panettiere's acting prowess. She carried this movie, even when no one else did.

I have been looking forward to this movie for weeks. And after finally being able to watch it , I loved it.
I think overall this movie was a very good idea. I'm glad that this was a chosen storyline, and pleased with the outcome of this premise based on the events occurring on a Navy ship from September 9 through September 11, 2001.
I was most impressed with this latest Disney original. I have found many Disney movies to be fun and entertaining, but this one is phenomenal.
