Hilary Swank plays Amelia Earhart in an utterly routine biopic. Richard Gere plays George Puttnam, but this doesn't make it any less routine. Ewan McGregor plays Gene Vidal - ditto.
This is all very worthy, and mildly interesting if you don't know Ms Earhart's story (or all the details of it), but I was never invested in the movie because I never really cared about any of the characters. The nearest I got to any emotional involvement was when Puttnam threw a wobbly on finding a poem Amelia had written to Vidal - however, his reaction made me dislike him rather than sympathise with him.
On balance, I didn't feel that I had wasted my time, but I didn't feel I had used it wonderfully well either.
