Majestic Posted February 18, 2005 Posted February 18, 2005 Looks like its destined for a very short theater run and then DVD within a month... http://movies.yahoo.com/movies/feature/stealthqt1.html

Dangaioh Posted February 18, 2005 Posted February 18, 2005 Someone in that film project must be a Macross fan. Especially with that AI stealth somewhat looking like the ghost fighter.
Gaijin Posted February 18, 2005 Posted February 18, 2005 You know all you people who say it's gonna suck are gonna see it.

Warmaker Posted February 18, 2005 Posted February 18, 2005 The "Stealth" prop was huge. I mean, it took up 50-60% more space in the hangar than a stowed F-14 or Prowler did. It also sat real high. I'm 5'5", and I could walk underneath the fuselage of that thing!
Duke Togo Posted February 18, 2005 Posted February 18, 2005 You know all you people who say it's gonna suck are gonna see it. Why do I always hear this? Why is it so hard to believe that some of us actually have some taste, and don't waste our time with crap like this? Ya know, some of us actually do have IQ's above 80. And its a real shame to see Jamie Foxx flushing his new found respectability as an actor down the toilet with a shitty film like this.

I agree with the Foxx thing. And...smilies are for sarcasm Edited February 18, 2005 by Gaijin
Phyrox Posted February 18, 2005 Posted February 18, 2005 (edited) Jeezus, that trailer sucked. My guess is this movie had a longer post-production phase than Foxx's two most recent, much praised films, and that he took this job when he was still a relative minor-player in hollywood. edit, I should at least proof these things before i post them. Edited February 18, 2005 by Phyrox
Sundown Posted February 18, 2005 Posted February 18, 2005 Well, Foxx might make the film vaguely watchable in parts. And Sam Shepard's in it. Annoys me that instead of using authentic modern flightsuits and gear, they're using specially designed tight and formfitting flight suits to emphasize Biel's assets. Meh. And the CG looks for the most part crummy, except for the carrier landing. That part actually looks pretty convincing. -Al
Dat Pinche Haro! Posted February 18, 2005 Posted February 18, 2005 (edited) still look like retarded yukikazes would've been better if they actually did completely rip off the yukikaze designs Edited February 18, 2005 by Dat Pinche Haro!

And its a real shame to see Jamie Foxx flushing his new found respectability as an actor down the toilet with a shitty film like this. I don't know how long ago J.Foxx did Ray, but the filming for Stealth was at least well underway by the time of Summer 2004. I was on a Carrier Qualifications det around that time and we saw the film crew and actors there. Jessica Biel was quite popular with all the Sailors and Marines on board. Lots of grinning faces and dirty minds
mechaninac Posted February 18, 2005 Posted February 18, 2005 Looks like this thing is going to be a rental queen in no time flat.
Hikuro Posted February 18, 2005 Posted February 18, 2005 It sorta looks like Yukikaze on mild crack...I didn't get a buzz from this or anything.....I'll check it out though when it comes out.....on dvd
BoBe-Patt Posted February 18, 2005 Posted February 18, 2005 didn't someone start a thread about this already? Well my company did the intro titles to that and I practically saw most of the movie already. It looks ok so far.
GRAND CANNON Posted February 18, 2005 Posted February 18, 2005 AWESOME!!! CAN'T WAIT!!! ...goes back to watching Iron Eagle...
the white drew carey Posted February 18, 2005 Posted February 18, 2005 Top Gun 2000!!! I can see it now, once again there will be recruiters waiting to sign up young men as they leave the theater!
Coota0 Posted February 18, 2005 Posted February 18, 2005 That's one ugly-ass airplane. If anyone gets behind the aircraft the pilot scewed.
Knight26 Posted February 19, 2005 Posted February 19, 2005 Interesting, the plot doesn't look too bad and the cast is fairly solid, though I still am not a fan of the designs. I will wait on the reviews and maybe, big maybe, see it in the theatres if a friend or family member really wants to. Otherwise I will wait for it to the video store to watch it. I just don't like that the AI starts to attack because of an outside force, the lightening, that and the trailer gives too much away. If anything the thing should go rogue on its own, kind of like why the sentinals in X-Men start attacking humans, because Mutants are humans, well guess what all humans can become a target to an AI killing machine. Also the people who produced it do not impress me at all XXX and the Fast and Furious movies were all garbage. We will see but right now I am not giving it prop or holding up much hope for it to be anything better or worse then something made by Roland Emrich, a cheesy popcorn movie with cool effects and nothing more. The AI fighter design was actually not half bad other then the lack of rear vis, but the "Stealth" FSW, eh, I do not care for the lines.
CoryHolmes Posted February 19, 2005 Posted February 19, 2005 I just don't like that the AI starts to attack because of an outside force, the lightening, that and the trailer gives too much away. If anything the thing should go rogue on its own Actually, I was rather surprised by that. Normally it is that the AI goes rogue on its own without any outside influences. Skynet, HAL, Sharon Apple... the list goes on and on, so I'm rather pleased that Stealth isn't going with that over-wrought route and is going for something a little different. And yes, those specially designed T&A flightsuits are annoying, but they're not nearly as bad as they could have been and they're uniform across the gender board. I'd be having a much more ranting time if they'd given Her Albaness a special, womens-only flightsuit that had the midriff showing...

He had a number for a name. Can't recall the shows name. What made edgar (from electric dreams) go rogue? Champagne or coffee?
Capt Hungry Posted February 19, 2005 Posted February 19, 2005 It's Terminator airborne more or less.............. At least we get to see Jessica Beal in a bikini.

VF-19 pilot!!! Posted February 19, 2005 Posted February 19, 2005 wow, !!! that was really shitty!!!! please Jaime Foxx say it isn't so!!!! you did such a great job playing RAY!!! what were you thinking!!!!
areaseven Posted February 19, 2005 Posted February 19, 2005 Well, since Agent ONE hasn't said it yet, I'll say it... NO SCHWARZENEGGER = NOT A GOOD MOVIE.
hellohikaru Posted February 19, 2005 Posted February 19, 2005 I guess they use Air Force Delta Strike style flight suits and helmets to show case the faces and bodies of the character better, our current helmet cover up pretty much everything. The stealth thing doesn't look like it could get off the ground. Kinda like a cheap rip-off from the old F-19 kit.
Britai 7018 Posted February 19, 2005 Posted February 19, 2005 i saw the commercial and was extremely extremely excited about it. But then came the part about the AI plane that goes beserk, and it all came crashing down. I still want to see it, but my expectations are alot lower than what i had initially thought.
Yohsho Posted February 19, 2005 Posted February 19, 2005 First part of the trailer happened I'm like, ok this might be a OK movie about pilots in some sort of new plane. Then came the AI drone, I knew it would be Human Vs. Computer right then and there. I mean why does it always have to be the AI going rogue and ppl having to take it down all the time.

As for this movie...it might be one of those guilty pleasure films...plus it's not like there are a whole lot of aviation films out nowadays. No, Electric Dreams. It's a movie about a guy who falls for a new tenant is his apartment and he uses his newly puchased computer to write songs for her to show how much he cares for her, which are performed by PoMo groups like Culture Club, for example. Unfortunately, the computer becomes sentient when the guy accidentally spills coffee on it and ends up falling in love with the girl too. Anyhoo, I've avoided talking about Stealth only because I figured someone would make mention of it in the thread concerning the feasability of a live action Macross. I'll spend my 11 bucks to see it in theaters, just so I can critique any high or low points. In the end, it couldn't be any worse than Gigli. Finally, I can definitely see Jamie Foxx winning the Oscar now. Just look at the movies other Oscar winners have done after they won the Academy award. Remember this Cuba Gooding, Jr. classic which came out after he won his Academy Award for Jerry MacGuire (by the way, it was nothing more than a knock-off/remake of a Skeet Ulrich movie made one year prior to it's release).
Wes Posted February 19, 2005 Posted February 19, 2005 The one thing that's bothering me is really, how much of a threat can the damned thing be?!? I mean, it's a jet; it therefore should have limited fuel, and what looks to be limited payload. Wouldn't it be wise to just dogfight it long enough so it runs out of fuel and/or ammunition?

I mean, it's a jet; it therefore should have limited fuel, and what looks to be limited payload. Wouldn't it be wise to just dogfight it long enough so it runs out of fuel and/or ammunition? Exactly, so the thing might have enough range and onboard payload to destroy one or two targets, ok, but after that threat eliminated, it can't get additonal fuel or weapons on its own. Also, how the heck is that thing suppossed to hover? And, do these morons realize how big and how high an explosion has to be in the atm in order to be seen from space at the distance they are showing?

It could be that with the deletion of any meatbag pilot, all that empty space for cockpit, lifesupport gear, etc. are converted to fuel and payload. But seriously, we won't know more until the movie actually comes out. And I don't know about you, but I know that I wouldn't want to be in one of those "one or two target" zones you mentioned. One or two is more than enough to cause a heck of a lot of damage.
Retracting Head Ter Ter Posted February 19, 2005 Posted February 19, 2005 (edited) I was talking about 2 movies. Short Circuit (lightning strike causes AI to come alive) and Electric Dreams (spilled drink makes some Mac? come alive). Dang, whats the song from Short Circuit called? I bet they will use some fancy nuke reactor to plot device the range issue. Dunno how to solve the ammo issue though. Edited February 19, 2005 by Retracting Head Ter Ter
EXO Posted February 19, 2005 Posted February 19, 2005 And, do these morons realize how big and how high an explosion has to be in the atm in order to be seen from space at the distance they are showing? You noticed that too? I thought that they better had editted that from a nuke explosion somewhere in the movie cuz it didn't make sense on the trailer.
