All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.
