About
If you enjoy light, over-the-top spy adventures with big stunts, gadgets, and a space detour, this is a fun pick; Not for you if you want grounded Bond intrigue or tight realism like Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.
Pros: big spectacle; brisk action; globe-trotting fun | Cons: very goofy tone; thin story; uneven villain threat
