A Thing of Beauty

Rating: 10/10 (12 July 2005)

This is my absolute favorite sci-fi movie ever. It's largely due to the beauty it renders. It's one of two, fantastic Scott-films, the other being (of course) Alien. This is one of those movies that keeps getting better each time you see it, and every time I watch it again, I get stunned over the special effects. It is absolutely breath-taking.
As goes for the story, it couldn't be told better I think, and nor could it had been better casted. Ford an Young does a perfect performance, as do all the supporting roles. I just can't find anything about it to criticize. I love it, and really cannot understand those who give this masterpiece thumbs down! Well, in short: I get lyrical to the break of tears when viewing it. If you haven't seen it yet... run NOW, rent it, buy it or what ever and see it many times. You won't regret it! One of my top 10 films!
