Unfortunately the disaster was far too shocking to rate compared to any normal film where you can rate the believability of special affects and acting abilities.
However, I do not think the two French brothers added anything to the film making. They were very brave but happened to be in the wrong place at the right time. The music score was not very good and could have been greatly improved. A few of the shots could also have been better manipulated - for example black and white, slow motion etc. Also, real news footage could have been used more. This would have given it a more dramatic feel. This could have been accomplished without dumbing down the events and turning it into 'Worlds Greatest Disasters' Saturday night special.
I feel a lot of readers are voting on the events - not the documentary film. The brothers had excellent, unparalleled footage and didn't make the most of it.
One day, no doubt a hollywood blockbuster film will be made. Lets hope it gets made somewhere between this documentary and the unreal/untruthful Pearl Harbour type film.
In summary, for the very few who don't know what happened that day - it is a must see. For those that did see the news in the last year, watching this will be like watching the out-takes/directors cut of a well known film.
