Trivia:

Goofs:

Factual errors: In the sniper shot fired by the North Korean at Lt Wade, the sound of the gunshot is heard before it seen penetrating her. The gunshot sound would have been heard after the bullet hit it's mark, since the scene is shown from the opposite side of the cliffs from where the shot was fired. Part of a gunshot sound is the sonic boom of a bullet exceeding the speed of the sound.

Quotes:

Ben's Date: I'll be back in a sec, I gotta go pee-pee.

A tribute to HAL9000

This is a remarkable movie, for those who have seen 2001-A space odyssey and 2010-The year we make contact. From my point of view, Stealth summarizes the life of HAL 9000 in an action film, and goes into detail determining how the machine evolves and distinguishes right from wrong, good from evil if given correct and proper example.

On top of that, the CGI is unbelievable and it's a good action flick, although the political situation set as the movie background is kind of hard to believe, it sets itself fine enough to make a fine plot.

Anyway, like I said, if somebody who likes computers, and have seen 2001 and 2010, this is a must see film.
