Angeks and Demons

Angels and Demons ( ***) 2009 Tom Hanks directed by Ron Howard.
Both of these film icons have resisted the Saturday serial format but this sequel to The Da Vinci Code could clinch Robert Langdon as the 007 or Dick Tracy of symbologists. As you could easily expect the book is much better..but...... Ron Howard did an amazing job at recreating the Vatican in startling and breathtaking detail without having access to it because it was off limits.
Rome and The Vatican are the stars of this film. Having been to the Vatican, it is amazing to see the detail that was put into the recreation of the Sistine Chapel, St. Peters Square, The Pantheon and more. The special feature on the making of the film is an incredible lesson in special effects and sets..
Surprised to already find it in the 3 for $20
