Densely Packed And Richly Depicted Sci-Fi Fun!

Rating: 9/10 (2 June 2017)

I strongly recommend this film, if only for the CGI and special effects. In terms of visuals, this is the richest film I have seen. Between the characters, the backgrounds and the effects, it is sometimes difficult to take all of it in. This is a film that requires multiple viewings if one wants to appreciate all of its magic. I think I will watch in 3-D next time.
It starts with a battle scene that is actually funny, thanks to Baby Groot.
The alien creatures are among the best ever depicted in a film, outdoing "Star Wars", for example. One alien race is absolutely beautiful.
The music, of course, is a focus--as in the original GOTG--and the choices are again toe-tappingly infectious.
Watch through the end credits. This film is densely riddled with imagery and references that make it as fun as it is impressive. The irreverence of the first film is abundant in this installment as well.
