Editorial Review:
From the director of XXX and The Fast and The Furious comes an exhilarating epic blockbuster starring Josh Lucas, Jessica Biel and Academy Award® Winner Jamie Foxx (Best Actor, Ray, 2004). Breathtaking from take-off, it thrusts you in the cockpit, hits Mach 5 and never looks back. Henry, Ben and Kara are hands down the world's best tactical fighter pilots. But a new member joins their team, a state-of-the-art, fully-automated, pilotless, super stealth warplane - inhuman and invincible. But once this stealth goes up it's never coming down, wreaking destruction in seconds across the globe, leaving the team with one last no-fail mission: to stop it - no matter what.
Description of Stealth:
Featuring the best special effects that money can buy and a screenplay that any six-year-old could follow, Stealth is a pure action thriller that starts fast and never slows down. Moving up from The Fast and the Furious and xXx, director Rob Cohen proves himself as a master of popcorn entertainment for teenagers, turning this derivative military sci-fi action thriller into a dazzling showcase for impressive aerial action sequences, featuring digital effects and highly detailed model work (by James Cameron's Digital Domain effects company, among others) that are so realistic you could swear the movie's high-tech aircraft are absolutely real. The plot serves the effects (it should be the other way around), and it's a cheesy hybrid of Top Gun, The Right Stuff, Firefox and Behind Enemy Lines, in which a close-knit trio of Naval Air Force aces (Josh Lucas, Jessica Biel, and Jamie Foxx) pilot state-of-the-art "Talon" fighter-bombers, ready to scramble on orders from their not-entirely trustworthy commander (Sam Shepard). They're teamed up with an ultra-high-tech UCAV (Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle) nicknamed "EDI," an artificially intelligent fighter drone that's as erratically dangerous (after its circuitry is damaged by lightning) as it is deadly effective. With a standard third-act rescue mission amidst the threat of global warfare, Stealth is brainless entertainment from start to finish, but the aerial action and epic-scale pyrotechnics ensure that it's never, ever boring. Cohen may be guilty of dumbing down his recycled plots for mass appeal, but there's no denying his skills as an action auteur. Move over, Michael Bay, you've got serious competition. --Jeff Shannon
Stealth Reviews:
Intense Action 
2009-12-17 - I like this movie for the action, the story line, and the superb acting and effects. The only problem is that people keep borrowing it! The blue-ray was definitely a good choice for this movie.
HORRIBLE 
2009-10-14 - This movie was horrible. Bad Acting and a stupid plot make for a horrible movie. Save your money and most importantly save your time.
COOL but not action-packed as Iron Eagle!!! 
2009-08-10 - Like many of you, I thought that this movie was gonna be the next Iron Eagle, a HI SPEED C.G. JET WAR with LOT'S of shooting and explotions, but NOOOOOO!!!!
STEALTH is action-packed but not excactly as you think, The action scenes were EXPLOSIVE, FAST and COOL but very short (like 3 or MAYBE 4 minutes long) and just when you think that the action is gonna get better it get's interrupted by blah,blah,blah!, there are not much enemy jets to shoot at (it's more like jet chase), The story is VERY stupid and cheese, the acting wasn't good, and the C.G. special effects were cool but NOT first class.
If you like "fast jet action!" then maybe this movie is for you, but if you like HI QUALITY EXPLOSIVE SHOOTING SPREE VEHICLE ACTION like Iron Eagle, The Losers or Death Race then search somewere else.
Adios.
Only Reason to watch is Jessica Biel 
2009-05-17 - I cannot describe this movie with out getting into profanity so I will just be general.
Jessica Biel is the only redeeeming quality about this film.
1st the government only built 3 of these super planes. I call BULL$&!*. Anyone who has dealt with the Government PRocurement process will agree with me.
2nd, I could have suspended disbelief until the whole floating unmanned gas stations. Seriously. Utter Garbage.
3rd, the whole Frankenstein's monster crossed with Short Circuit's Johnny 5 with a redemption motif smacks of numerous rewrites or network "notes" being done during filming.
As I said at the beginning, Jessica Beil is the only part of this worth seeing.
