The movie never finds the right balance between momentum and exposition, and way too much historical information has been crammed into voice-over narration.
David Chute, L.A. Weekly
Fresh
A gorgeously lensed, well-structured audience-pleaser that harks back to classic Hollywood blockbusters of the '50s and '60s.
