Stealth on DVD (2005)

David Wilkinson from Durham, England , 05/08/2005

...you need a lobotomy to watch this.

Poor, obvious plot, bad dialogue, wooden acting and terrible direction.....and they're the high points. The action shots are full of cheap camera and CGI tricks with an appalling amount of goofs in every scene.

I also lost count of the number of rip-offs this film makes, 'Top Gun' (obviously), 'Flight of the Navigator' (I kept waiting for the EDI to say 'Compliance'), '2001' ('I'm sorry Dave, I can't allow you to do that'), even had the flavour of 'Team America - World Police', but without the humour (Did he say Tajikistan or Durkadurkistan!). I sure you'll come up with your own too.

All in all a truly terrible film. Should've gone straight to DVD and into the bargain bin.

Top gun flight team get to fly with a new roboplane. During a mission it gets hit by lightening and goes off program. Lots of fantastic flight sequences and action.

Sub plot involving corrupt Politician and Navy brass. Typical hollywood feelgood ending. Does what it says on the box.

Joe morton plays the aircraft carrier captain. David andrews is the doggy

Politician.

This film manages to insult the viewer at every turn (It's cliche token black guy, the cliche tough chick, and the supirior that against all sound judgement proceeds with the mission though he's knows he should'nt).

The script is awful,bordering on racist, and sexist and the acting laughable and it even manages to screw up the action scenes. The plot rips off every thing from 2001,top gun and behind enemy lines, which is fine if your going to do it with a toungue in cheek style - which this does not.

That is perhaps it's biggest down fall - instead of being a tounge in cheek boys own adventure - it seems the filmakers actually belive in the 'god bless America' sickly sentiment.

This film manages every cliche going from old 80's movies but never gets any where near the dizzy heights of the high concept jerry bruckheimer flicks that it wishes to be. Avoid.

Sit back and enjoy a feast of top gun in the 21st century. Easy plot simple to follow a typical Saturday night movie.

You could find fault with the acting and the storyline is a little on the predictable lines.

Had to laugh at the fact that the story involves an unmanned aircraft that enjoys a little rock music played loud, I am no plane engineer but fitting loudspeakers would not be a priority.

its like someone took a dump on my dvd player and gouged out my eye... just dont bother wasting your time with this one, just some more US propiganda.

the plot is preditcable and crap at that, if think you would like this sort of film you'd be better off watching Top Gun again. Trust me..

OK this film uses every 80's air to air combat cliche in the book and you will recognise bits of 'Top Gun' and 'Flight of the intruder' and 'Behind enemy lines' SO WHAT I was always under the impression that if something aint broken don't fix it. This film ROCKS!! in its own way, so what if the plot has been done the combat scenes are breath taking, the air to air combat scenes had me jumpin up and down like a kid. The CGI is spot on and as for surround sound you just wanna turn it louder and louder.

If you love flight sims or combat movies with fast jets in you are gonna LOVE this film. It can never be 'Top Gun', but then again this film aint called 'Top Gun'.

Really, really fast Jets, guns, missiles, explosions did I mention really, really fast jets.......Go on watch it you know you want to.
