Trivia:

For most of the flight scenes, the artists at Digital Domain used "EnGen" (Environment Generator) to create the virtual landscapes, also used on The Time Machine (2002) & Star Trek: Nemesis (2002). An earlier version of the program, called "Terragen", is on-line available for free.

Goofs:

Errors in geography: Kyrgystan is on border of China and Pakistan. Based on geography, the closest friendly base is in Turkey, which is to the WEST. The carrier was in the Phillipine Sea, which is to the SOUTH. They chased EDI all over the place without entering Russian Airspace (to the east). Then Wade got fragged and then Gannon ordered her "straight back to the boat [carrier]". So why did Wade's Talon 2 break up over North Korea, which is FAR to the EAST?

Quotes:

Lt. Ben Gannon: Don't think, drink!

Good, no-brainer, popcorn film

I really enjoyed Stealth. I watched it when I was in the mood for a movie I didn't have to think too much about. I was rewarded with a roller-coaster of a movie.

Yes, i know that the aeroplanes in the film wouldn't fly, it isn't realistic, and all of the other comments I have heard about it's authenticity. However, planted in the film (i know they are not mentioned much), but there are some valid issues about the use of unmanned war machines, and detaching the horror of war from war, essentially making it more morally acceptable.

To be honest, when you watch a Rob Cohen film, you really shouldn't be expecting Oscar winning stuff. You should expect entertainment, and this film delivers.
