Amazon.com: Featuring the best special effects that money can buy and a screenplay that any six-year-old could follow, Stealth is a pure action thriller that starts fast and never slows down. Moving up from The Fast and the Furious and xXx, director Rob Cohen proves himself as a master of popcorn entertainment for teenagers, turning this derivative military sci-fi action thriller into a dazzling showcase for impressive aerial action sequences, featuring digital effects and highly detailed model work (by James Cameron's Digital Domain effects company, among others) that are so realistic you could swear the movie's high-tech aircraft are absolutely real. The plot serves the effects (it should be the other way around), and it's a cheesy hybrid of Top Gun, The Right Stuff, Firefox and Behind Enemy Lines, in which a close-knit trio of Naval Air Force aces (Josh Lucas, Jessica Biel, and Jamie Foxx) pilot state-of-the-art "Talon" fighter-bombers, ready to scramble on orders from their not-entirely trustworthy commander (Sam Shepard). They're teamed up with an ultra-high-tech UCAV (Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle) nicknamed "EDI," an artificially intelligent fighter drone that's as erratically dangerous (after its circuitry is damaged by lightning) as it is deadly effective. With a standard third-act rescue mission amidst the threat of global warfare, Stealth is brainless entertainment from start to finish, but the aerial action and epic-scale pyrotechnics ensure that it's never, ever boring. Cohen may be guilty of dumbing down his recycled plots for mass appeal, but there's no denying his skills as an action auteur. Move over, Michael Bay, you've got serious competition. --Jeff Shannon
Great Movie A most excellent movie. Happy I bought it and have watched it a few times. Great interaction among the cast, good special effects, and edge of your seat story.
ACTION EXCELLENT MOVIE LOTS OF ACTION AND ADVENTURE AND SOME ROMANCE TOO HAVE WATCHED IT OVER AND OVER
Stealth Wonderful movie in great condition. Definetly will do business with them when I want to buy a DVD. Thamk You so much
Great special effects and fast planes but....... This is one of those movies which is visually slick and has great special effects - but lacks any real heart or chemistry with its actors. Its obviously had a lot of money spent on the movie and the sets and technology looks really good. However, in some ways it tries to pack too much in and there's so much emphasis on the technology that the people in the story come off second best - they are all too good at what they do and too unbelievably pretty to be real.
If you are after a popcorn movie and love fast planes and good special effects then this is for you - but for movies about prototype machines which go bad other vintage movies like BLUE THUNDER have done the same thing better.
blu-ray made it better This is one of my favorite movies so even though I alredy owned it I bought on blu ray. It was well worth it. I have recently switched over to blu-ray and hd satellite and I am still amazed at the quality difference. (I never got into high def before this)
