This movie is to the first quarter of the 21st Century as "Star Wars" was to the last quarter of the 20th Century. It's the new standard for science fiction.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Angels and Demons

Well, at least the haircut is better. If you read the book, don't keep it in your memory when you watch the movie. There are similarities, but enough differences to that it could have used another title. To enjoy this movie, you need to suspend your belief of time and distance.
It's packed with action from beginning to end and, of course, Dan Brown's intermix of fact and fusion about symbols and church. The dialogue appears to be mostly fill between action scenes.
The views of Rome are spectacular, the special effects are grand, and the product placements are mostly subtle. It's a great escape film with the meaning and depth of "Night At The Museum 2."
I'd say wait for Netflix, but the grandeur may be best seen on wide screen.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

It's Indiana Jones

No great moral, no dynamic dialogue, a villanous villain, great action...it's an Indiana Jones movie. The plots are all the same, but who cares. It's fun, it's got action, it's got Harrison Ford, it has Karen Allen, and it's got everything you expect in an Indy movie.
Go see it and just plain escape.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Good fun

This movie was lots of fun to watch. It helps if you saw at least the last season of the HBO show, but there's enough of a tie-in to help one understand the context. It's not an intellectual challenge of a film, it's fun, funny, and enjoyable. Take your sweetie.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
