Review – Stealth

All concept, no follow-through. The idea here is that the Navy has a smart computer that can actually fly a souped-up jet in combat. The trouble with computers is that they execute their orders whether it’s a good idea or not. And of course if they break down (hit by lightning in this case), they start executing some crazy permutation of their orders, which in this case involved a lot of execution. Three ace pilots who had been flying with the thing now have to shoot it down. That brings you up to the midway point in the movie. Most of the rest of it is an almost unbroken parade of dogfights and other special effects. The result is expensive and slick but almost completely without substance. Mildly amusing
