Critics Consensus

Loud, preposterous, and predictable, Stealth borrows heavily and unsucessfully from Top Gun and 2001.

Full of explosive mayhem and pulse-quickening aerial combat, this high-flying action romp offers polished, if derivative entertainment.

If we're going to be fighting the war on terror in perpetuity, could we at least get better movies out of it?

...a crude Jerry Bruckheimer knock-off with a laughably insipid script...

Neither entertaining nor exciting, the dumb and noisy Stealth will hopefully live up to its name by fading quietly from movie theaters.

It is in no way one of great movies of all time but it is an interesting to watch action flick with some ahead-of-its-time references and interactions with AI. Overall, an enjoyable guilty pleasure that's worth a watch.

Watchable, though predictable. AI parts have aged well and aren’t actually silly at all. Couldn’t predict the ending, however, because it was silly. AI airplane with plenty of ammo left deliberately collided with a dumb Mi-8 of DPRK. Why?

Such a great fighter movie, too far ahead of it's time for critics. Superb war fighting action, and some great points we're now genuinely looking at. Only people that don't like this movie are either on the other side, or g.

Ok. First. The whole movie is just, laughably goofy, but then they kill Jamie Fox, and 30 minutes later the killer robot plane is the best friend. Then they crash into North Korea and act like they are being heroic for F'n up them trying to protect their country. Wtf. Do not watch. Go watch Slotherhouse instead.

Stealth is actually a fairly entertaining film! I expected the effects to be a lot worse considering what I've heard. Like with any film, focusing on the world and not the technical aspects behind it, will have you immersed. The film has some cool action scenes for sure! Unfortunately though, the characters felt pretty weak, and the story revolving around an AI controlled stealth jet felt undercooked. Lots of cool ideas. Some executed well, and many others chaotically thrown at a wall in the hopes of sticking. With that said, if you just want cool action and spectacle, you could certainly do worse. Also, if you're a fan of films heavily involving aircraft, or artificial intelligence, you should watch this movie at least once! You might like it more than I did!

The sound, editing, cinematography and special effects is something we should celebrate for. Before Maverick Top Gun came out, I really like this film as it stands out for fighter planes doing what they should be seen on film
