A top-rank film in its genre. Amazing action sequences and first-rate production values. Simply a great action film with a couple of sobering moments, the hallmark of an unforgettable action flick.
The locations are excellent, too. Much of the film takes place in Donauplatte near the famous Danube River. The action scenes in a high-rise building in this area are incredible. The producers (among them, Chris Hemsworth, himself) didn't spare anything to make the scenes incredibly realistic--such death, destruction and mayhem in just one locale.
There's this scene early on where Tyler has hied away in the woods recovering from his injuries. He splits firewood then throws the ax hitting the trunk of a tree spot on from a distance. Shades of Mighty Thor hurling his impervious hammer at the galactic enemy.
Great cast; remarkable performances from Hemsworth, Iran-born Golshifteh Farahani, Adam Bessa and Tornike Gogrichiani. Hemsworth is different from other action stars because of the depth of his sensitivity. Something that reminds you of Pierce Brosnan.
It's also a reunion of sorts for Hemsworth and Idris Elba, the guardian of Asgard. Watch out for the well-known actor in a cameo role.
There's definitely going to be a Part 3 if you believe in Elba's character.
