The best part of the movie for me, and the only parts that were worthwhile were the scenes with Jessica Biel in the bikini, and at the bar. She is just incredible to look at. Too bad she was in a flight suite and helmet for most of it.
As for the film - putting aside the whole "robot comes to life" part - I couldn't believe the politics of the movie. I don't think anything this jingoistic has been made since 1945. First the robot comes to life and flies into Russia. The Russians send up fighters to protect their country. The American pilot barely thinks twice about killing them all and I am sure doesn't lose any sleep over it. I was stunned to see this, but okay he had to protect the living brain/robot I guess. But then Jessica Biel apparently flies across China in about 5 minutes and goes down in North Korea. Okay so I think now they have to have some negotiations to get her out right? Wrong. The pretty boy pilot and his trusty living brain-robot fly in blast dozens of Koreans who again were just protecting their country to rescue Jessica. So the life of one American is worth dozens of Koreans? I know Jessica is totally hot but come on, some of those Koreans were just minding their own business on border patrol and here comes an American jet and starts killing anything moving. Did they show this movie overseas? It's this type of thing that gives Americans a bad name. When people in a non WASP country see this do they think it reflects the attitude of most Americans? I think the producers should apologize to all the non-white people on the planet for putting forward this type of message!
