Pretty much, probably. To go one step further, this movie will probably be so bad that when I get home from the theater it’ll be on cable…
And no Jessica Biel is NOT the reason I find this flick to be appealing… I have a wide and varied taste in cheesecake but she ain’t it… [yuck] I inherited more than a mere casual interest in sci-fi from my Dad, and this film seems to have many ties to the sci-fi genre. (If this was a pure sci-fi flick, ya’ll probably wouldn’t be so hard on it either… [;)] )
Anyhoo, I’m not easily impressed by anything that Hollywoord churns out, but I’m capable of wearing several caps while watching a flick. When it concerns such a film as this one, which has some basis in reality, I’m often times quite the critic.
However, every once in awhile I like to wear the fat, dumb and happy cap and look forward to a good entertaining film. Cheesy or not, this flick looks like it might be very entertaining and I’m rather looking forward to it. Besides, it can’t be any worse than TOP GUN…
True that, brother man. I think the sci-fi element is the only thing Stealth has going for it. And what an original story idea! A computer with a mnd of it’s own! cough-cough-2001ASpaceOdyssey/IRobot/ShortCircuit/TheMatrix/TheTerminator-cough-cough.

But, I probably will still see it like the rum-soaked viewing sheep that I am.[xx(]
It probably has some decent shots of real planes and carrier ops, so that would make it worth going to see. The “Stealth” plane itself is obviously a piece of whale dung and belongs at about that level.

What about Tron? I STILL don’t know what happened.
Yeah, Steve…
There’s not much that was worse than Top Gun…
Looks pretty cheesy - but I bet the CGI will be fairly impressive…I wonder how many actual naval aviators and flight deck crew will view the film and freak about all the errors in procedure that they see…
Hotshot pilots who are about to be replaced by a machine, only to have to hunt down and destroy said machine when it goes rogue and threathens thousands of innocent lives? I liked it a whole lot better the first time, back when it was called “Macross Plus.” Hell, the “brain” of that AI fighter even looks like the one from the AI fighter in MacPlus. …and is it just me, or does the AI plane look like a 2005 version of Testors F-19?
(Oh well, at least we’re finally getting a good Batman movie this summer.)
