Stealth (2005)

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

The script for this movie was clearly written by somebody with very little idea. Its simple but mildly amusing however it could have benefited by somebody actually talking to somebody who knows something about naval aviation. Landing aircraft and launching aircraft at the same time is not going to happen and that was one of the more obvious problems.Flying from Alaska to North Korea where the flight starts at night, crosses the coast in full daylight yet by the time the aircraft covers the short distance to the DMZ, its suddenly full night.The explosions are fun and that perhaps is the best that can be said for this B grade sci-fi / action action movie. It just needed sharks with lasers to cap it off

Stealth is an interesting & exciting sci-fi action thriller. The US Navy develops an experimental AI-powered drone. However, it goes haywire, and basically threatens to start World War III. And the elite group (of three people) that it trained with have to take it down. The plot is brilliantly constructed with a number of surprising twists and turns - it is NOT predictable! The actors do a brilliant job - particularly Josh Lucas. The action is awesome, and the special effects excellent. A definitely good movie.

I don't know why they call this movie "Stealth." There are a lot of stealthy looking Naval aircraft in it but stealth counts for nothing. There's no action in being stealthy. And this has nothing but action. When the pilots are on foot and not exchanging machine gun fire with enemy troops on the ground, the airplanes are whipping around through the sky, doing maneuvers at Mach 1 that would generate G forces that would squash any ordinary human being into something resembling the world's biggest pizza pie.Oh -- and another thing. Why do they call these guys on giant modern aircraft carriers "sailors"? They're not sailors. They're city dwellers living in a gigantic apartment complex with an ocean view. I was a sailor on a Coast Guard cutter the size of a destroyer, and a sailor is somebody who gets waked up in the middle of the night by some boatswain's mate with a cup of coffee in his hand and is ordered to mop up the sea water that's been shipped into the crew's quarters.I'm glad I was finally able to get that off my chest. Yes. I feel much better now, Doctor.Let me see about the plot. It rips off so many other films that I lost track. A fully computerized fighter bomber goes berserk like an airborne HAL2000 series and begins to disobey orders until at the end it sacrifices itself to save two American pilots. The pilots and the flying junkyard and their joint boss, Sam Shepherd, are real beauties too. We're not at war with anybody, yet -- let me thing -- we blast hell out of a ten-story building in Rangoon where some terrorists are supposed to be hiding. We then obliterate a scud missile base in Cloud Cuckoostan, sending a roiling billow of radioactive dust over a nearby village full of innocent but swarthy people. We violate Russian air space and shoot down a couple of their interceptors. We violate North Korean air space and obliterate the troops that pursue our downed pilot. Our losses: one pilot, by accident, sort of. I don't think I left anybody out.The award for best performance in a junky movie goes to -- envelope, please -- YES, HAL2000 Series C! Here name "EDI", Hal has a somewhat soothing voice, the kind that might come from a late-night classical music program on FM radio, but it's kind of feminine too. And, unlike HAL, it can make wisecracks and argue with its controllers. It even makes a little joke before it commits altruistic suicide. "Good-bye," says HAL casually before ramming a North Korean helicopter.When "Something Wicked This Way Comes" was released, critics were disappointed. They'd been promised a glimpse of these new things called computer-generated images, and all they got was a few seconds of some digitalized choo-choo. Those CGIs were embedded in a human story. Now it's the other way around,.

As a fan of Jessica Biel and action movies I knew from the minute I saw the trailer for Stealth I had to go see it.Yes I know it got some mix feelings about it but this is just one of those films I look past the junk and see the treasure. I love it since I saw it in theaters back in 2005 which still remains one of my favorite movies I saw in theatersStealth main plot centers around three top fighter pilots as they join a project to develop an automated robotic stealth aircraft.The main protagonists are Lt.Ben Gannon played by Josh Lucas, Lt.Kara Wade played by Jessica Biel, Lt.Henry Purcell Played by Jamie Foxx. Under the command of Captain George Cummings played by Sam Shepard. Rob Cohen served as the Director of the film and watching the film his style does make the film interesting like "The Fast and The Furious" and "xXx". What impress me about this film is that the special effects are really cool plus the designs the film has for the jets are what you call a beast as these Planes are really predators.Also the action scenes and battles will have you on the edge of your seat along with feeling tense as you never know what will come next. That's why I enjoy this film. Also the writing in the film is very good along with clever lines along with smart quotes. Yes I know this film wasn't meant to be a movie of the year pick but it is just not one meant for thinking so why not accept it for what it is. Stealth is more than what others give it credit for it. My advice is to just sit back relax and be blown away by this movie it has some of the best effects of any movie and the action scenes will make you feel tense throughoutStealth deserves more love so just try and give it a watch you could be surprised I give Stealth an 10 out of 10
