I don't see the point of the movies; it's not like people don't remember what happened... it was 4.5 years ago, not ten or twenty. The rush to get these real life things turned into movies is ridiculous -- I'd even say all the facts aren't in concerning what happened, so the movies don't really shed any light on anything or make a historical event more clear, or serve a purpose. [Say what you like about the conspiracy theories in, for example, JFK, but it was looking back at an event with a new perspective.
I'm not all gung-ho AMERICA, nor am I all sentimental and weepy about 9/11. But I *was* there, saw all I needed to see from the top of my building, went through the emotional shit, and feel like I lost the city I grew up in and considered home to all the "anti terrorism" measures that do nothing but that away comforts and freedoms to normal people. So it's safe to say I won't be seeing any movies, or caring about them. This is probably the most I will write on the subject, ever.
