STORYLINE

An undercover MI6 agent is sent to Berlin during the Cold War to investigate the murder of a fellow agent and revoker a missing list of double agents.

MY REVIEW

This was a pretty amazing movie. Due to it not being released yet and I got to see a pre-release preview, I don't want to go into too many details. 

What I DID LIKE about this movie:

• Setting- I love the setting. Berlin wall is a month from being torn down.. US, British, French and Russian spies a plenty! Excellent use of music and costuming! This was a visual masterpiece.
• Violence was necessary and perfect.

What I DID NOT LIKE about this movie:

• Not much. I think the only thing that was a little iffy was the twist, or the twist on the twist, or the twist on the twist of the twist... It's almost like they filmed 3 endings and decided to use them all!

On a more personal note..... Finished my 3-D printed Wonder Woman Tiara. Wore it to work today! Finished a new trooper helmet. Isabella and Dexter were pretty cute!

MY REVIEW:
I have to be entirely truthful about this; I was not a big fan of the idea of Mad Max as it was in the 70's. I get it.. dystopian future, things are bad, etc, yeah, yeah, yeah.

What did I like?  I like the visual place that I was taken to during my two-hour stay at the Lynnhaven Mall AMC Theater. Visually stunning. Fairly imaginative.. few pieces of wit and humor.

What didn't I like? The thugs who run the world just odd and seemed disjointed from the idea of the water starved world. Women subjugated to baby factories and "milk for the oddly bred aristocracy."

I did like the Charlize Theron role but the idea for me was realistically, I could have watched the trailer fifteen times back to back and could have seen enough.
