All I have to say is Hmmmmmmm Could be good ...could be boring .....

I really like Hilary Swank ....some of her films I haven't cared for ...but as an actress she can really carry a film ....

I hope people don't bitch about the ending... The same way they bitched about "Titanic" back 1997 since we "ALL" know how Amelia Earhart's story ends!!

Interesting cast with Richard Gere, Ewan McGregor, and Virginia Madsen!!!!

I have seen a few films by director Mira Nair ...inclding ... Monsoon Wedding (2001) ....The Namesake (2006) & Vanity Fair (2004) W./Reese Witherspoon...So I will keep an Open-Mind for "Amelia".

Cliche: sure.
Potential Oscar Bait: yes.
Title: No...

I agree Comrade, the title is too bland.

Personally, I'd call it Air Heart ;)

yech...could they have made this more cliche? At least change the title to something unexpected. For fuck's sake, how stupid would "Walk The Line" have sounded if they'd called it "Johnny"?
