Amelia - 2 stars out of 10
Once upon a time, a movie was created that centered around airplanes and managed to avoid action scenes. There just wasn't any action. At all. The final stretch across the Pacific was particularly painful. How many times can the control station send the same message and then show her not hearing before it gets annoying? But the thing that bothered me the most was that they didn't really let the love story develop. It was just like, "Well, here ya' go. It's there." I typically love the acting of Swank, Gere, McGregor, and Anderson, but this movie fell flat and I was just glad when it was over. If there's one thing that Hollywood can learn from this film, it is that all peoples' lives were not meant to be turned into biopics, even if they faced a tragedy.
