Today I saw Stealth. It's a slightly lacklustre film with perhaps a weak story. Though, as is common lately, the digital imagery is quite compelling - the film makers obviously spent a lot of effort making the aircraft believable.

There are two main technological items of unknown - the aircraft are hypersonic single seaters with one being flown by an artificial intelligence, this aircraft having adaptive air surfaces and the AI itself, a quantum computer.

Though from this comes mainly a story of love and survival with typical martyrdom of certain characters, namely one of the 'flyboys' and the AI. It seems film makers AIs are not prone to survival. Mix into that some betrayal and earning trust and that's mainly it, apart from the flying.

The dogfight sequences, though, are a little ludicrous. A box-standard fighter-bomber up against a hypersonic futuristic plane and it wasn't over in seconds?

If you don't like flying or naval intrigue don't bother with it. Though the usual 'black-box' approach towards computing has been taken along with the 'it better be tested.... oh look it's gone haywire' cliche.
