I would say Ridley Scott (director and producer) has outdone himself this time. For me, every bit as good as the original. Great action everywhere, CGI, and cinematography. Paul Mescal plays the lead role convincingly; Pablo Pascal, Denzel Washington, and the entire supporting cast was great. Excellent twists and turns, cringe worthy gore. Even the opening credits were a treat. I don't want to spoil anything.
We meant to buy tickets to IMAX, but missed that we were in the wrong section. This is IMAX appropriate if I've ever seen it.
