My friends and I have a name for any movie that resembles this kind of crap. It's called a "Mike movie" on account of my friend Mike liking that absolute worst stuff and thinking it's the best. Blade Trinity, major Mike movie. Start using it and people will instantly know what your talking about. Most things with Vin Diesel or Van Dam and Steven Sigall are usually a Mike movie, instant classics that should go straight to VHS.

An AI plane that gets hit by lightning and suddenly has a mind of its own? You'd think the people at Sony would know enough about electronics to not come up with something like this...

Well, since an ESD discharge from my finger tips can destroy a single CPU/GPU, I don't think there would be much left of the plan after a direct lightning strike. 😛
 
Saw the movie earlier today, the action sequences were good. The plot is horrible, AI gone bad then back to good again..LOL.

Some of the bad stuffs <SPOILERS>

1) The DMZ between North and South Korea is the most fortified area on earth, Biel character can't just run south like that.
2) The North Korea platoon leader aimed then fired the sniper rifle to Biel character shoulder <why not to the legs if he wanted to capture her?> then she was able to kill a few North Korean solders with her gun later.
3) Russia was notified about the US airplanes passed tho their airspace <by evil CO>, yet they only sent two fighters to intercept.
4) The airplanes flied so low yet so fast and made impossible maneuvers <beyond any reasonable laws of physics>.

There are more but that's all I can think of for now. BTW, some of you asked why Foxx did this movie. It was made before Foxx made "Ray".
 
About 10 friends from my school went to the movies. Half of us saw Wedding Crashers, and the other half saw Stealth. All I'm saying, is I'm glad I picked Wedding Crashers! 😛
 
I saw it today. It had plenty of problems plotwise and physics-wise, but it was still a good movie. If you want proper physics go watch the science channel (which I love btw, no bashing here).
 
Yep I enjoyed it too, nice popcorn flick. From the trailer I thought it would suck but at least the plot was a little different. Effects were pretty cool, better than most action films Ive seen recently.

As long as ppl like you keep watching pile after pile of bad mindless action flick like this, the studio won't change what they do. Last movie i watched was Batman Begin, I can't even remember what's before that. :|

The worst part is, they're rehashing an old concept and doing it the wrong way. Instead of going with the somewhat plausable "AI so smart it becomes self aware" concept from Terminator they use the "teh lighting bolt mad teh plane go crazy" concept from short circuit. It was only acceptable in short circuit because that was a comedy and catered to children. There's no excuse for it here.

The only thing that could save this movie is a topless scene with Jessica Biel.

I'm goin to watch it....
