Saw Stealth last Saturday. Actually had gone for "Sehar" n thinking tht it was 1-2 weeks old didn't bother to buy tickets in advance. But, saw a big HOUSEFULL board n had to settle for this movie. The starting scene is beautifully picturised.. the movie starts in future with three super-supersonic jets each piloted by an extra-ordinary human-being. This team (Josh Lucas, Jessica Biel, Jamie Foxx) has been trained to wipe out the terrorist hide-outs all over the world. An auto-pilot jet (with a sophisticated machine-to-man communication interface) is included in the team to enhance the operations n reduce the risk to human life (i.e. pilots'.. n wht 'bout the ppl living in regions near the bombing sites??). This works fine until the program inside the goes haywire n the jet starts thinking on it's own. The storyline as such is very dull (the hero goes on a rescue mission n tames the talking-jet by his sweet n logical approach.. lol). Only thing I liked was the amazing sounds of the jets soaring high n fast in the blue sky (surprised!! the sky will remain blue inspite of the pollution u make.. so need to worry). Also check out this
site.. worth a visitAll in all.. worth the money if u like the sounds n don't care even if the heroine looks old.. :p
P.S.: Sorry for the late post.. i know u were missing my excellent reviews (lol). Be prepared for another dose coz going to see Mangal Pandey tomorrow... he he he

Sudeep, how many American movies are shown in India? Stealth is a fairly new movie out, yet, didn't get a lot of attention over here.
I would have thought only the bigger movies would be shown, but hey, what do I know.
I don't have any idea how many r released in States.. but quite a lot movies r shown here.. though a bit late.. n the wel-shot action sequences which r the main part in the English movies (no trace of it in the Bollywood stuff) make them almost a hit
Another question if you don't mind. Are most US movies in English, or do they put in subtitles, or do they do voice over's or does it depend on the theatre?
@Rachel: Still a lot questions unanswered
@AB: Mostly it would depend on the theatre showing the film, but 99% of the movies r in English.. only 1% or even less might be dubbed in local languages. Putting sub-titles rob the impact of the movie.. as u ppl might experience when u watch any Bollywood stuff, I suppose.
No probs for any question.. u may keep them coming.. :)
