2009/11/17 Amelia (PG) (* * */5)

(2009-USA) - d. Mira Nair
Stars Hilary Swank and Richard Gere.

Story of Amelia Earhart and her attempt to be the first woman pilot to fly around the world in 1937. Towards the end, she and her co-pilot disappear somewhere in the Pacific Ocean trying to find a small island at which to refuel in bad weather conditions.

More a film about her flying, not about her relationships and personal life. There was not a lot of buildup to help the audience understand why she was how she was, so the film lacked some depth as to character.
