Stealth (2005)
6/10
guilty pleasure

Like previous Rob Cohen movies, The Fast and the Furious and XXX, Stealth is a bit of a guilty pleasure. Yes the movie is silly and full of explosions, but you are entertained watching it. Stealth is not as good as either of his previous movies because it tends to be a little self righteous at times. For example, the scene where nuclear weapons need to be destroyed at a collateral damage of 500-1000 people. Since nuclear weapons can kill hundreds of thousands of people, the argument doesn't hold ground. Stealth tells the story of three pilots who are asked to train an artificial intelligence that flies a plane by itself. When it becomes self aware, which always seems to happen in the movies, the pilots must try to stop it. There are some incredible flying sequences. Other sequences don't quite work, such as the scenes on the ground in Alaska and North Korea. Overall watch this movie, just don't think about it too much. 6/10
