Adeptly directed for the casual or intellectual viewer, this film has everything a blockbuster should. Fast-paced, poignant, shocking, and clever, it's not to be missed.
It links Star Trek inextricably to Americana, and wows new audiences with a familiar saga to the older generations.
The makers of Pan's Labyrinth had a lot to do with the success of this film. It was artistically and visually very impressive. The dialogue was wittier than the last film as well. It also had great pacing from scene to scene.
