Wow, I'm a teenage guy who likes action movies, and I was teary-eyed at the end.

Thanks for the upload!

What happened to movie making? This film is pure poetry. Everything is gorgeous. The special effects were amazing. I laughed, I cried--and I don't cry at movies, generally. Thanks for uploading this and allowing this to be experienced.
