Stealth (Two-Disc Full-Screen Edition)

The world is changing and AI is a permanent part of life right now, and in the future. The movie is a story that parallels our concerns for AI integration with everyday life in the military. How far will the AI technology evolve? Will it become self aware? This movie answers the issue with spectacle and a love story twist mixed in.

Josh and Jessica's relationship The human type AI

I saw this movie many years ago and liked it very much. I am pleased to have gotten a copy of it, so I can watch it several more times. It was a little expensive though ($15.89 including shipping), considering the movie came out in 2005, 18 years ago. My only problem with this particular seller is that they missed the delivery window, but only by 1 day--not that big of problem.

OK, first, a few words to Mr. Ex-8G000. Yes, it's apparent that you're in the military, and we all (I hope) applaud your service. I was never in the military, but I have great respect for it...and its missions, hint...hint. BUT...these are MOVIES...designed to entertain. I don't like what Hollywood does to the military anymore than you do, but what do you expect? I'm a big fan of Black Hawk Down and several of the other great war movies, but some of the military-based movies are just loosely-based on the military and aren't meant to be taken seriously.I am watching Stealth for the first time on DVD and I'm totally blown away by the special effects in this movie. This is the best damn CG I have ever seen. Probably on par with IL&M's work on Star Wars. From the sweeping aerial shots to the seemless panning to the cockpits while in flight, I'm just in awe in how they've captured these visuals on "film".So what's the plot? OK, let's be honest...this ain't Shakespeare, but com'on...we all know it wasn't meant to be. Stealth was meant to be an exciting popcorn flick that brings a mixture of Top Gun, Behind Enemy Lines, and Firefox into the 21st Century. Basically, we have have three hotshot pilots who fly three of the only existing Stealth planes known as "Talons"....only to be surprised by the existance of a new stealth plane that is totally automated. At first the new automated plane has a mind of its own after it's struck by lightning. But during one mission when the perverbial crap hit the fan, it actually comes to the rescue of the only surving Talon pilot in a dogfight against three Su-37 Russian fighters.OK, let's face it folks...today's audience is so demanding today in the digital film age that good special effects aren't enough to win over crowds. Granted, they shouldn't be the only thing, but imagine if this film was made back in the mid-eighties during the Iron Eagle and Top Gun days. It would have set a new standard in film making, and would have been praised for its visuals to this day. But because visuals of this quality are achieved daily in things as simple as TV commercials, we pan these kinds of films for being simplistic and plotless. Well, darn it, at this point who cares? There's always a time to just sit down and watch a good popcorn action flick such as this and enjoy it for what it is. I usually judge movies on the criteria if they entertain me. This movie thoroughly entertained me. I especially liked the fact that they actually use modern day international threats rather than some watered down "Neo-Nazi" threat *cough* "Sum of All Fears" *cough*.I give this movie 5 stars because of its awesome visuals and edge-of-your-seat intensity. Could this movie have used better character development and plot details, well yes, but it'd take a TV series based on this film for that.

DVD was in good condition when we received it. Enjoyed the movie. Good special effects.

The real time action & CG visuals capture the feeling of what it must be like to be an elite pilot flying high tech planes on very dangerous missions. It was gratifying to also get educated about the politics and death oriented idiocy of war & collateral damage which is a nightmare I hope the human race wakes up from. Of special note is the sequence of Jessica Biel ejecting from her damaged jet and surviving the descent to the ground & escaping capture in enemy territory. The 2 disc Special Edition has excellent behind the scenes special features on disc 2. The price I paid was low and entertainment value high. Too bad the politically correct love relationship between Jessica & her wingman Josh was not more interestingly erotic since the next mission might be their last. Sadly too much violence & destruction seems to drive this type of movie...and at the end the minister's eulogy for their fallen buddy mentions God as a protector for military actions and pilot safety with no mention of His commandment: Thou shalt not kill. Technically this is a brilliant special affects movie that underscores the fact that the human race still spiritually has a long way to go to reach enlightenment. Then again what does Love & Peace have to do with Hollyweird and the movie industries too often death oriented ambitious productions.

I got the dvd and happy with it

Awesome sci-fi action movie directed by Rob Cohen movie tells that what's the difference between machine & human. Product is well for option of other languages.

The disk has one chapter (Chapter 12) missing. The disk skips the chapter and jumps to the next one. Rest it’s fine.

Hier geht vielleicht die Post ab. Beim Anschauen dieses Films läuft die Adrenalinpumpe auf Hochtouren. Eine tolle Geschichte um drei Piloten, politisch korrekt umgesetzt mit einer Quoten-Frau und einem Quoten-Farbigen, und einer "Blechbüchse". Diese Blechbüchse ist ein KI-gesteuertes lernfähiges Kampfflugzeug, das sich von seinen menschlichen Kameraden etwas abguckt, was trotz Gehorsamsverweigerung zum Erfolg führt. Leider misinterpretiert die KI diesen Vorfall und macht sich nun auf den Weg, selbständig die Schurken dieser Welt zu bekämpfen, auch wenn es wie im vorliegenden Fall nur fiktive Übungs-Bösgewichte sind. Das und die Versuche der anderen drei dies zu verhindern sind spannend und der Fluggeschwindigkeit entsprechend sehr sehr schnell gezeigt. Das Superflugzeug und auch die drei anderen, nicht so super aber dennoch Zukunfts-Maschinen, sind perfekt in die Live-Bilder, vor allem in die auf dem Träger integriert. Es sind aber auch einige Unglaubwürdigkeiten zu sehen, wie etwa die Episode, in der das Superflugzeug sich Kraftstoff von der fliegenden Tankdrohne holt. Da der Zugang gesperrt wurde, schießt es einfach den Stutzen des Tankrüssels ab, und schon fließt der Sprit. Das ist natürlich Unsinn, unterstellt es doch, dass in den Tankrüssel ständig Kraftstoff gepumpt wird. Am unglaubwürdigsten ist natürlich, dass dieses hochentwickelte Flugzeug durch einen simplen Blitz sein abnormales Verhalten entwickelt. Aber es geht hier um reine spannende Unterhaltung und nicht um Erbsenzählerei, deshalb von mir uneingeschränkt fünf Sterne.
