Sincerely, during this month, movies here in Tenerife, do not look attractive to me. With Torrente III on most theathers (I don’t like that kind of movies, sorry for Torrente’s fans), Bewitched (I haven’t seen it, but have been told is not so good) and some others, it’s not tempting to go to the cinema.
I entered Stealth, because it seemed the less bad and I always loved everything related to Artificial Intelligence.
I have to say it surprised me a little, despite of being the typical action movie and a little predictable:
In a near future, stealth fighter jets are really high-technological (and expensive) weapons. An elite division formed by three pilots (2 guys and a girl), suddenly have to fly with a new member: A fighter jet with Artificial Intelligence that it’s capable of pilot itself. During a mission, a lightning hit the jet and its behaviour becomes unpredictable and potentially dangerous.

The jet can talk, and communicate with humans by radio.
I expected it became crazy just after the lightning hit it and started to destroy cities and so on, and later make more and more incredible things (meanwhile frustrated humans tried to kill it), ’till someone ideates a smart solution to achieve its destruction.
But there I was wrong: The behavior transformation of the jet was progressive and not suddenly. The eventual jet behaviour was also a little surprising.
The best scene: The slow-motion explosion in the hangar, where people went away through the air (I wonder whether they where stunts or just dummies).
The worst one: The dark-filmed scene where the starring couple talks about the new plane. The photography is a bit noisy.
The movie script is certainly simple, but, on the other hand, it’s action-packed to avoid the public getting bored. The takes from the jet cabin, the electronic gadgets and all the stuff sorrounding them makes the movie entertaining.
Spoiler!!!… ▼
Another thing I’m fed up of: Why is always the black guy the diying one? I knew it just after the film started. Supporting role black character? Come on, this men kicks the bucket for sure. In this way (and many others), the film is quite american, but, at least you don’t see USA flags overpopulating the screen anytime despite it’s military ambience.
And the last, but not the least (you already know if you’ve watched the movie): At the end, the jet has feelings and becomes a good-guy (I expected they simply destroy it). Where have I seen it before? In many films, e.g., Short Circuit. It’s not a very creative idea. It seems to me that, in USA, the idea of lightning hit computers become sensitive is wide-spread. Don’t try it, I tell you the actual result: they get burnt. 
Anyway, nice movie, but just that.

La mala cartelera que tenemos por estas tierras (peor que en muchos otros sitios, sin duda) es la que nos merecemos, ya que es lo único que aquí gusta.
Los recién estrenados Cines Renoir Price, que proyectan básicamente cine de autor (y más cosas, claro) dan pena, pues cada vez que voy parece un pase privado con tres o cuatro personas… Y claro, con tanto cine nuevo de calidad técnica etc etc, pues los Greco y OScar de toda la vida han cerrado.
Resumiendo, que tenemos una capital en la que para ir al cine te tienes que ir a las “afueras” prácticamente (peor aún, al Centro Comercial, que lo odio).
