I saw it before it was released and as soon as I saw the building collapse and the dust cloud coming at the camera, them ducking into the store, the cloud passing the front of the window, the walking wounded covered in grey dust.
It was EXACTLY like the photos I saw at the Prince Street Gallery in SoHo. It is not much different than the rest of the news footage, just shot by all the New Yorkers that live and breathe the city.
It stung a bit to see it.
As far as it being a sore subject, it is for some since some people 7 years isn't enough time to heal the wounds opened by that day. I can tell you while I did not lose any immediate family members, the wound for me is still sore as I lost a location and building I loved visiting. Many people would go to the visitor center paying alot to see the views, when just going to the bar at Windows of the World and having a beer for $5 was a great way to pass an evening after work.
As far as being a great movie, it wasn't IMO it was a good monster movie and I love Godzilla/Gamera. I look forward to Cloverfield 2.
