Imaginative and exciting film

Rating: Null/10 (26 June 2002)

It's great to see an eighty-million dollar movie that looks like it cost eighty million dollars--and every penny is on the screen. Unlike so many "effect" movies nowadays, every effect in this picture is there for a reason, supports the theme or plot or characterizations, and is breathtaking. On your way home about half-a-dozen gaps in logic will occur to you, but WHO CARES? I was spellbound for two and a half hours. What a great, wild ride.
