Exactly what I expect from a badass action movie
Simple story of wife seeking revenge for her murdered husband and daughter. The mission is clear. The anger is fierce. The adrenaline is high. Jennifer garners determination is fearless. She holds no mercy, just like the drug cartel she's after.
Production wise, the movie has solid pacing. The action scenes are outstanding. With Unique choreography. Artistic warfare. Mission impossible-esque tactics.
And beyond the explosions, gunfire, and fighting, there's a bonus deeper layer to the narrative - the question of whether its okay to break the law if you're serving justice.

Dimension 1- visuals. Blows every other Hollywood blockbuster out of the water. Pun intended! I would only watch this movie in 3D. The world comes to life. I never got tired of the crystal aqua sea. It served as the perfect virtual vacation for a winter movie release.
Dimension 2- story and drama. Classic storylines of man vs nature. Explorers vs natives. Greed vs good. Family vs faction. Action sequences effectively utilize the stunning environments, and the story was strong enough I didn't yawn once the entire 190 minutes.
Dimension 3- characters and dialogue. Considering all the characters are tall and blue, it's hard to create a cast with vastly diverse appearances and personalities. But the characters have enough personality to keep it interesting and support the story.

As a sucker for time loop movies, this one was another winner. Up there with Palm Springs, map of tiny perfect things, happy death day... time loop movies are all so good. They're able to activate a lifetime worth of emotions in one repeating day. Forcing the viewer to recognize the impact of every decision we make. They put life into perspective. As for production value, this movie checked all the boxes of A+ movie making. Visually beautiful, well written, well acted, colorful characters, intriguing, mysterious, suspenseful, happy, sad, scary, all culminating with an important message about life.
