  Amazon.com: Stealth: Music: Various Artists
The "Stealth" soundtrack includes three new Incubus tracks that were written specifically for the movie and recorded with producer Brendan O'Brien (Pearl Jam, Korn, Rage Against the Machine).
The soundtrack for the upcoming "Stealth" is yet another classic case of a rock collection that doesn't exactly sync up with the theme of the movie.
Conclusively, the Stealth Soundtrack pretty much has an uninteresting selection of tunes and I would absolutely not recommend it unless you want the two aforementioned good tracks from it.

Stealth features Oscar-winner and flavour of the year Jamie Foxx in a token role as a brainless jock in a brainless rah-rah action flick that's suddenly embarrassing for his newfound status as someone you respect instead of another one of those guys you can't remember if they were on "In Living Color".
Stealth is tech-porn that stops short of massaging technology (good ol' American can-do is still the tonic--see how EDI's personality is eventually transformed into that of a semper fi jarhead) whilst reassuring that American military might is now and evermore the barbed panacea for all the world's ills.

 Stealth (2005): Reviews
Stealth, a dregs-of-summer knockoff, is too ponderous and inept to serve a comparable function now, yet the film's lack of thrust may be related to an absence of conviction about its own war-is-a-videogame clichés.
Stealth is basically the kind of movie a 13-year-old boy given an infinite budget and creative freedom might cook up between Xbox games.
Stealth is your average mindless male action film; stupid storyline, stupid plot twists, lots of eye-candy, lots of crap being blown up.

Also the scene in which the pilots are going over the data files on EDI is quite similar to one in which Isamu Dyson is examining the specs on the YF-21, and EDI's single red eye design and attempt to fight its creators are reminiscent of Sharon Apple, the main protagonist in the series.
The sections of the film were supposed to be shot on board the US Navy Fleet Carrier USS Abraham Lincoln but much of the labeling is for the USS Carl Vinson which has a Naval Construction Code of CVN-70 (the Lincoln's is CVN-72).

The film, directed by Rob Cohen, best known for high-action films The Fast and the Furious and XXX, was lambasted by critics for everything from unrealistic special effects to a "borderline terrible" script.
The reason isn't that the film was mostly shot in Australia, which almost always looks inviting; rather, it's that almost every locale gets blown to bits almost as soon as the pilots come within shooting distance.

 Stealth movie review, In Film Australia
Director Rob Cohen's follow-up to XXX is a stupendously befuddled popcorn film littered with half-baked concepts and confused narrative devices.
The idea driving this madness is a kookily naïve concept conventionally abandoned at the film’s discretion: imagine that Kubrick’s possessive AI demon HAL from 2001: A Space Odyssey scores its own missile-laden fighter jet and suddenly decides to stop taking orders from ground control.
It’s the sort of film that spends an obscene amount of time building its own irrational logic, only to abandon its own spurious rules in the desperate search for something different and interesting.

In the near future, the firepower and Stealth technology of the Navy’s Talon fighter-bomber are used against terrorists anywhere and everywhere in the world.
I also thought that the film was rather slow at times, but aside from these few things, I suppose it was an all-right film.
The acting was nothing special, and the plot to me was a bit improbable: the steath plane, which starts out as 'evil' in the beginning of a movie and kills thousands of people, eventually develops feelings and becomes 'sorry' for its actions toward the end, sacrificing itself for the two heros.

 Stealth bombs - Film - Entertainment - theage.com.au
After a month in the US cinemas, the film has made just $US31 million ($A40.4 million) - its failure marking a rare setback for director Rob Cohen, who was flying high after previous action hits such as The Fast and the Furious and XXX.
Stealth's high-octane mix of sci-fi hardware and improbable action - and its essential silliness, according to most critics - steered Cohen and his work into serious box-office turbulence.
Cohen says he solved the problem by shooting some of his sequences on private property in NSW and moving other setpieces to Thailand, where the film was already scheduled to shoot additional scenes that required an Asian backdrop.

 Reviews by Jacob Sahms: Stealth
Stealth is Top Gun meets 2001: A Space Odyssey with a spoonful of Short Circuit thrown in, and unfortunately all three of those movies did it better.
Responsibility for actions is a stretch here but the film definitely was intended to serve some socio-political agenda that I won’t dwell on here.

 Stealth (2005): Joshua Lucas, Jessica Biel, Jamie Foxx, Sam Shepard - PopMatters Film Review
Indeed, Stealth is on some level a gargantuan, hyper-expensive video game (this despite Ben's dutiful expression of concern: "I just don't think war should become a videogame").
Stealth (which only briefly deals with the issue of "stealth," as most of the action is loud, excessively visible, and crisis-generating) emphasizes that EDI gets his idea for seeking out targets on his own by observing Ben go off orders during a mission to execute a group of terrorists meeting in Rangoon.
Stealth wants to be a smarter movie than it is, posing the cases for and against technological warfare, tracing foibles not only of individuals within the financing and command systems, but also in the systems themselves.

 'Stealth' invasion
Cohen says the July 29 Columbia Pictures release is "typical of the new kind of film in production, where there's 88 days of shooting with humans and then 838 visual-effects shots that take another year on top of it.
The movie ponders this issue very overtly, which is body bags versus taking the human being out of the equation of war.
Cohen faced several impediments in making "Stealth." "There are many levels of difficulty in a film that costs $124 million and we were trying to break new ground on lots of levels.
