RUN TIME: 2 Hour 6 min

MPAA Rating: PG

IMDB Story Line
James Bond investigates the mid-air theft of a space shuttle, and discovers a plot to commit global genocide.

This is one of my all time favorite Bond movies, it did very well at the box office. The special effects at the time of release where top notch. However if you watch it today with all the recent James Bond, Marvel, Star Wars movies and other big budget movies you might cringe a little. Still Bond delivers a fast paced action movie and saves the world from disaster again. With the concept of using the space shuttles, Bond takes our imagination to the possibility of living in space, not on a planet, but in a totally man made environment. This movie does that in the short term future. I remember seeing this at the theater when it first come out, it was a real treat.
