It's not often you are part of a movie that completely puts you in a world that you say to yourself "I want to go there!!" This is like that... I was throughly entertained for 2 hours and 40 minutes... Since I loved Dances with Wolves, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Titanic...this movie is in that heady tradition... Only Jame Cameron or Steven Spielberg have the clout and vision to make such a grant movie... It's innovative and takes risks... If I plan to see a movie the second time...that speaks volumes...and I plan too... You must see it the first time in IMAX 3-D...the shape of movies of the future...!!!!
This is another period movie that does an effective job of exploring Amelia love of flying. It also brought out the flaws in the around the world plan that were little known. They also recreated the airplane in the Smithsonian "Big Red" of hers that was neat to see brought out in the movie. The movie was slow in parts but overall was very well done.
