Balloon Scene

This scene was filled with lots of suspense and creativity;

one feels that one is riding w\the crew over ocean and storm. This is a long scene(yet satisfying) but a great prelude prior to the island landing. The Rebel scene on board the voyage was a nail-biter and helped define the character who had a skill & will of his own.

Movies of this type are sorely missed today. One can observe the craftsmanship and care that was put in w\out hesitation and budget constraints notwithstanding.
