Stealth

I was just stupified by this movie with Jamie Foxx and Jessica Biel (and a very hot guy I can't remember). It's not only very, very stupid, it's also mildly entertaining, tho predictable from the first minute onwards. Cool aerial CGI and nice plane design. In return just forget the story and enjoy the action.

If you like jet movies with a slight scifi streak and you happen to have popcorn in the house, this one just might be for you. Just make sure you're turning off your higher brain functions beforehand

Solid 6 out of 10.

^^The very hot guy is Josh Lucas, currently a contender to be Harvey Dent in The Dark Knight.

I watched this when it first came out. Don't remember much.
Artificial plane goes crazy, some guy goes down over North Korea (?) - I assume the Josh Lucas guy (?) who also happens to be quite the womanizer - Jessica Biel goes after him to save him and they're now in love - something with stupid machine gun fire and I believe they went to Alaska or something at some point. Somewhere in the process token black guy dies.

Right?

This movie sucked balls.

We saw it at a drive-in and even that didn't redeem it. The consessions ad was better and plotted more intelligently than that piece of shit.

It was like an insult on intelligence with every passing minute. It was like someone was there, bitchslapping you and chanting "You are a fucking idiot." for almost two hours. I left feeling sort of dazed and offended.

Nope, didn't like it.

I knew what it was going to be before I got to downloading it - a mindless jet movie with lots of action and very little character development.

And that's exactly what I got. Seriously though, how good can you make a movie like this, really? Throw in a few dogfights, lots of explosions, and maybe a hot girl or two, and you've got your joyous waste of 1.5 hours.

It met expectations to a tee.

The title must have been prophetic, because it was under the radar of every theater around here. I remember seeing the trailer......but don't remember anyone around here actually seeing it.

They could have hijacked the plot of Macross Plus and made a better movie than this one.

Riddle me this: if your planes can go from Malaysia to Korea to Alaska etc all in no time at all without refueling, why are we putting them on aircraft carriers again?

Oh, just because the Navy is cool, I guess...

My brother gave me a...*ahem*...copy of this film.

I lasted 10 minutes...the case it came in was a better deal.

But there was that airship...

Anyway, it delivered exactly what it promised: brainless entertainment that doesn't take itself too seriously. And I respect that.

I got it on the $5 clearance rack, so I don't feel too ripped off. I liked the plane designs - in a better, older world, there would be Aurora models of them out almost the same time the movie hit the screens. But I'm still waiting for some garage kit maker to come out with a resin kit. No takers yet.

Many ridiculous things in the movie. I wasn't aware our GBUs had "kewl" codenames. And that refueling derigible was.... well, if anybody even brought that idea up at a DoD brainstorming session they'd be dropped through one of those Death Hatches like at a Goldfinger meeting.

And yeah, I bet our boys can't WAIT for a fighter that has that kinda unrefueled range!

Sacrificial wise-cracking black guy. What decade are we in again?

Also, hey, we have a hot, glamorous female star. Let's see how much shit we can put her through. :Jayzus:

I liked the DVD extra about the Korean DMZ. When they went to the RoK to research it, they discovered it was, inreality, a pristene nature preserve covered with beautiful, undisturbed woodlands. Well, we can't have THAT, now, can we?! Art director? Give me a blasted moonscape with wrecked villiages that have been there since 1952, please!

Don't forget to show her ass as often as possible

That's what we call "redeeming qualities".

Well, a movie like that needs a carrier because you need the persnickety CAG or Captain (I forgot what the dude was) to stomp around and declaim about how uncomfortable he is with these newfangled gadgets.

I remember that one of the movie critics made the same point as Marso: that it's silly to base an aircraft that could fly so quickly to any point in the world on a carrier.

Here's Roger Ebert's take on it:

And a mighty fine ass she has.

Also, for anyone who can't guess what's behind this spoiler - it's probably NSFW *hint*

So does Biel git nekkid in it? That is the operative question!

Please, God? Can I troll in this thread? Pretty please? It's only a teensy-weensy troll.

And it involves David Hasselhoff.

^I won't say anything if you keep that avatar for a while longer.

The only good thing about this movie was seeing Jessica Biel prancing around in a bikini. Rest of the movie was shite.
