I sat open-mouthed, frowning during this bit in sheer fascination. And this is before the real effects kick in, and the tower splits. It sees the twinkling Eiffel lights turn into gushes of gold, which blends nicely with the backdrop of the dark Parisian streets at night time. The entire scene is fucking mad – but executed in a style that helps radiate colour and beauty. Frank, Casey and Athena transport themselves to the top of it in order to manipulate the French landmark – to get them up into outer space. I’ve not seen anything like it in a movie for a while using a famous landmark to steer the movie in a fascinating, otherworldly direction. The visuals involving the Eiffel Tower are stunning.

A full shop-frontal (ha! See what I did there?) fight scene kicks off which is very entertaining. This scene also contained a great bit of visuals when the confrontation turns heated. It is tense, exciting, yet slightly sinister at the same time – the whole thing reminded me of some sort of Goosebumps book from many years ago girl finds weird object – goes to the shop to confront the owner – owner isn’t what she expected and she gets herself into trouble. ![]() And the scene is brilliantly wacky in fact I don’t think I took my eyes off the screen the entire time.

This is a movie of childlike imagination with a streak of adult understanding. But although fast-moving, it pauses in the right places to deliver its heartfelt story.
