I have to admit, I approached this movie with trepidation. My initial impression was of it being another failed sequel that had been left out in the cold for too long. I was expecting another poorly implemented terminator remake! Well, how wrong I was. The movie itself was a complete success!
Without giving too much away, I actually enjoyed the last 50 minutes of the movie more than any of the other scenes, primarily because of the build up of events that led to the return of Overlook. What really reached out to me was how it summed up both past and present events into one final scene, consisting of remnants, flashbacks, and nostalgic recollections.
I couldn't stop thinking about it afterwards, I found myself asking and answering questions about what it meant, how it all grouped together. It appears as though the magic of the movie has indeed taken it's toll!
Overall, an unprecedented masterpiece!!
