Stealth
I finally saw Stealth. It’s a really bad movie and I feel I need to review the hour that I saw in an attempt to come to terms with loss of the hour I spent watching it. In that hour I got to see all sorts of cliche’s like the tech who doesn’t believe in the project getting replaced, hot shot pilots disobeying commands and falling in love with his wingwoman, hot shot pilots getting too close to bad guys and dying and my favorite the hot shot pilot who can pick up chicks even though he doesn’t speak their language, airplanes crashing into canyon walls.
One of the things that was definitely missing was action. It was like watching Gulf War 1. Good guys see bad guys, good guys fly over bad guys and drop bombs, bad guys die. They’re might have some anti aircraft fire but this was just a lame ass attempt to add action which just didn’t seem real. You’re not supposed to be able to shoot at a stealth fighter from the ground. It’s supposed to be about 10 miles in the sky. Not 100 foot from the ground.
There was also a pathetic body count. Summer blockbusters are supposed to have counts into the millions just look at independance day and the day after tomorrow. I counted 20. They kept on making it sound like more by saying “100 out of 100″ but it was only 20.
