Ray Harryhausen: Five Limited Edition Prints - Every Picture Tells a Story.

WATCHMEN (2019)
“This Extraordinary Being”.
-
Probably one of the best superhero origin stories in a while. Lindelof and the team are doing a great job staying true to the source material while simultaneously carving out their own.
Production design, cinematography and music were phenomenal but the editing for this episode takes the cake. The transition from shifting back and forth from the present to the past, blending things perfectly to get an understanding of the flashbacks that were revealed in previous episodes.
The adaptation of Hooded Justice origin has always had a lack of information in the novel and Lindelof takes advantage of this and gave the character such depth.
