AMELIA is more lost than Earhart (Review)

"Amelia" isn't going to break any box office awards this weekend. When I saw it Thursday at midnight, my friend and I were the absolute only two people in the theater. Everyone else was seeing "Saw VI" and "Paranormal Activity." It was kind of fun since I could be loud and obnoxious the whole time, but I quickly understood why "Saw VI" might have been a better choice. "Amelia" is the first movie in a while that I almost walked out on.
Just because Earhart is lost, doesn't mean the movie about her has to be. "Amelia" is aimless and feels interminable, though it's only an hour and 51 minutes long. I entered the theater excited to learn more about Amelia Earhart, but left confused, worn out, and angry.
