I remember watching this in the cinema when it first came out. When we came out everyone was looking up into the night sky imagining what it would be like to see a UFO. Thats what a film should do totally absorb you..and its the same now...still sucks you in. They dont come bettrr than this

5 stars for the last 30 minutes which are magnificent, beautiful, outstanding and amazing. The rest of the film in my opinion is pretty average but that last 30 minutes makes it all worthwhile.
