A magnificent, driving narrative, with solid dialogue, great lighting, editing, framing, visuals, acting, music, tone, mix of drama and comedy, spectacular special effects for 95% of the time, and adding a depth to the space-fantasy genre in movies that was entirely absent before it.
Contains great-must see moments, at a rate of, I dunno, 1 every 8 minutes it feels like.
Ridiculously good.
