Truly one of the best movies ever made

Rating: 10/10 (14 September 2006)

I think that others have commented here about this movie, so I doubt that I'll be adding anything new. Here goes anyway.
Simply put, this is one of the best action sci fi movies ever made.
It has action, intense action, from near the beginning of the movie until the very end.
This isn't standard action, you know, with people firing at people and other people jumping away from explosions and the like. It's not fisticuff type action or people falling from tall buildings and catching on at the last minute type action.
This is suspenseful type action, with guns and fighting, but also with aliens and imaginary aliens, bad guys you don't expect at all, and scenes that cause you to grip your chair until all of the blood has left your hands entirely.
The special effects for this movie are off the scale, being just as good today as they were when they were first displayed on movie screens some time ago. You get so immersed into the movie and the special effects don't in any way cause you to think that your watching something of fiction. It's like they have a vision of the future and they are showing you that vision in stark reality.
The interaction between characters gives you such a great feel for who they are in the short period of time that you see them. The actors, from the main stars who have shown their skills to us in past movies to those that are relative unknowns, are all true artists. They give you no reason to believe that they are anyone but who they are portraying.
The one liners and humorous interaction between some of the characters helps in some areas to ease the tension, and to set you up for the surprises later.
Wow, if you have never seen this movie, see it, the movie is truly awesome.
