Hilary Swank (Boys Don't Cry & Million Dollar Baby) stars with Richard Gere (An Officer and a Gentleman & Pretty Woman) in this Documentary type drama about the live and loves of Amelia Earhart. Any one who knows history is familiar with the tragic story of Amelia. One of our Nations finest Aviators who's sudden disappearance in 1937 sparked a world wide search and subsequent mourning after it became clear that she would never be found. This has not stopped speculation that Amelia somehow did not die during the flight and landed somewhere and went on to live to an old age. (There was even one women who claimed to be her, but that turned out not to be true). The movie was not well accepted by critics when it was released in 2009 however it does portray a very good likeness of the life of Amelia Earhart. The acting is pretty good and the plot, although sometimes boring, does catch on later in the film. Ameila was Directed by Directed by Mira Nair (Who also directed Mississippi Masala). Ameila also stars: Christopher Eccleston [Doctor Who] and Ewan McGregor [Obi-Wan Kenobi in Star Wars). I believe this movie is worth the money, but judge for yourself.Read full review
This semi-romantic bio of the famed aviatrix is superb, with some vivid scenes from the round-the-world flight. The 2-disc set is a little confusing-at-first..? The digital original copy did not play on my blu-ray player...the other disc "movie" id play as new; sharp, vivid, excellent background music, and tender treatment of the tragic end..? Some of the dialogue is equally superb to intellectual analysts..? Swank has acted "well-done", a great movie for adventure, and history. I can watch it over and over, several times the firset-week of arrival, as a pleasant experience.

The story touches on the real life of Amelia and the way she was used to exploit merchandise. While she was one of the first women to fly, she was used by the media. The love story between her publicist, who eventually became her husband, is the best part of the movie.
