"Amelia" is a biopic on autopilot. We get the facts of Earhart's pioneering achievements, her marriage to her promoter (Richard Gere), her fling with a fellow pilot (Ewan McGregor). And we get pretty pictures of airplanes in flight. But this dowdy movie rarely embodies Earhart's passions, whether for flying or for the men in her life.
... MORERated PG for some sensuality, language, thematic elements and smoking. Running time: 111 minutes.
Opens Friday, Oct. 23, 2009, at Regal West Manchester 13.
