After becoming the first woman to fly across the Atlantic, Amelia was thrust into a new role as America's sweetheart - the legendary "goddess of light," known for her bold, larger-than-life charisma. Yet, even with her global fame solidified, her belief in flirting with danger and standing up as her own, outspoken woman never changed. She was an inspiration to people everywhere, from First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt (Cherry Jones) to the men closest to her heart: her husband, promoter and publishing magnate George P. Putnam (Richard Gere), and her long time friend and lover, pilot Gene Vidal (Ewan McGregor). In the summer of 1937, Amelia set off on her most daunting mission yet: a solo flight around the world that she and George both anxiously foresaw as destined, whatever the outcome, to become one of the most talked-about journeys in history.This was really one of the more boring biopic movies I've ever seen. At the risk of offending those who do, I never really cared about Amelia Earhart prior to this movie. I certainly do not care about her anymore now after seeing the movie. I'm also not a big fan of Hilary Swank or Richard Gere so that just put even more nails in the coffin of this movie.
I wouldn't really reccomend anyone checking this movie out. Just wait for cable and you are too lazy to get out of bed or change the channel.
