The perfect blend of different genres


I have been a big fan of this movie ever since I saw it in theaters and every time I rewatch it I am reminded how seamlessly it balances so many different genres: science-fiction, mystery, action, romance, comedy. And on top of all that, the music is incredible, some of the images are unforgettable, and I think it's filmed in a really interesting style. It is all too rare to see a big-budget action movie from Hollywood that has creative flair, emotional depth, and also asks some big questions.

For my will is as strong as yours, and my kingdom as great...

Except for the 90% chase scene component in that blend.
