Amelia (2009)

I'd give this film 3 out of 5 stars. It was good but not stellar. It tells the story of Amelia in very broad strokes. How she fell in love, got married, and set out to fly around the world only to disappear over the Pacific Ocean. Hilary Swank does an good job as Amelia Earhart. Richard Gere doesn't as her husband George Putnam. It was like watching Richard Gere, play Richard Gere. I couldn't dispell my disbelief to believe he was playing a character. The other person I enjoyed in this film was Christopher Eccleston from "Doctor Who" fame as Fred Noonan Amelia's navigator who also perished when they disappeared. Christopher really made this film enjoyable and it was interesting to hear him speak with an American accent when I've gotten used to him speaking with a British one.
