I was really dreading going into this after I found out the runtime was 2hr40m, but it was very well paced which is probably the one nice thing I can say about it. That and Jeff Goldblum (who can do no wrong).

The way the story is built upon and built upon and built upon is astounding. Every little gag and character and setting is used perfectly and wastes no time using each of them to their fullest potential. Watching every detail grow and grow and get wrapped up perfectly by…
