Description

Two-time Academy Award®-winner Hilary Swank delivers an unforgettable performance as Amelia Earhart, the legendary American aviatrix who boldly flew into the annals of history. Richard Gere co-stars as her charismatic business partner and adoring husband George Putnam. Bound by ambition and love, their enduring marriage could not be broken by Amelia's determination to fly -- nor her passionate affair with Gene Vidal (Ewan McGregor). Equal parts gripping drama, stirring romance and epic adventure, Amelia will take your breath away and send your spirit soaring!

  • An okay movie

    Some will hate this comment, but this film doesn't do a good job of showing Earhart's lack of brains and her mediocre skills (punctuated by lousy navigation, bad landings and avoidable crashes). Her decision to remove the trailing antenna before the Howland leg was stupifying and it resulted in her death. It is frustrating. She did a lot for feminism but as an aviator she was an accident waiting to happen. It's too bad Pancho Barnes did not have Earhart's connections or midwest demeanor, and was not a looker, or she would have been recognized as the greatest aviatrix of her generation (and she would have continued to break new boundaries through the 1960's.)

    OMG this movie was dull. I guess it didn't help that we knew the ending going in, but this movie was so dull and plodding, all four of us were dozing off. I actually like Swank and Gere, but there was zero on screen chemistry between the two.
  • Where's the Amelia score iTunes?

    To iTunes: When are you going to put up the Amelia OST by Gabriel Yared? It is an amazing score! It deserves to be sold on iTunes.

    A delightful mix of romance, ambition, storyline, humor, and drama, with an excellent cast too. It seems to pack a little too much in, but it’s still a good movie. The ending, though, drags on forever. I am stunned to see the resemblence between Hilary Swank and Amelia Earhart. I had some trouble telling the two apart.

    I agree with everyone that the character development was awful. The acting was good but they just left you guessing on some things involving the characters! It was a decent watch!
  • Starts a bit slow but...

    ..it gets going. Soon you realize the passion this woman had for her adventurous life. And in observing the freedom she acquired from her passion, it teaches each of us to continue our own search for our own passions....for such a path leads to true liberty and freedom.
