An Exhilarating Adventure Ride

Rating: 8/10 (21 January 2019)

30 May 2007. It feels as if one is at a fantastical end of the end, a surrealistic fantasyland of gargantuan proportions with eye-popping special effects and an almost continuous thrill ride of action and mystery. The eerie and atmospheric cinematic vision feast is accompanied by both increasingly violent scenes (almost too excessive and graphic) along with a good dose of one-liners and balanced humor. There are emotional tender scenes of humanity and serious drama. While the substance still hasn't reached maturity in action films, the plot outline a little confusion in places, and the 2 hour and 57 minute length almost at the limits of American tolerance, the major thrust of action entertainment is met with satisfaction in this third installment. Eight out of Ten Stars.
