A great story, a trip down memory lane, a great director... when 140 minutes feel like 60...

Rating: 10/10 (13 April 2018)

Alright... This film does so much for the audience that I don't even know where to start... Yes, it's probably different from the book... but hey ! it's a movie. Not a book. Yes, stories needs adaptation to work on screen, and to work in a 140 minutes time frame in this case... The Shining was different from the book, and the movie was great, Jaws was different from the book, and yet again, great movie... This is another fine example that proper screenwriting can make a great movie from an equally great book, even though they have differences. Only thing you should ask yourself is are you enjoying the ride ? I sure enjoyed this one. The soundtrack is great, the directing is great, and holy s**t is that movie beautiful ! It asks obvious societal questions, offers a satisfying ending, has likable characters, despicable characters, fun characters, and characters you feel for, and is tons of fun. If you don't like fun, throwbacks to the 80's and 90's, you're gonna hate this movie. If you want to spend 2 hours and 20 minutes of pure fun, enjoyable science fiction, stunning visuals, with tons of Easter Eggs ( pun totally intended ), this is the movie for you. Gonna watch it again ASAP.
