To finish the point, here's some of my favourite action/adventure/sci-fi films that pay close attention to character tension and story while blowing the roof off the cinema at the same time:
- Casino Royale (The Martin Campbell version)
- The Dark Knight
- Star Wars: A New Hope
- Indiana Jones (mainly the first three, not that I hated the fourth, but the original trilogy achieved a stronger balance)
- Terminator 2
- Star Trek (2009)
- Heat
- Collateral
- Black Hawk Down
- The Matrix (this is a perfect example of having just as much spectacle as substance. Unfortunately, it didn't carry over too well when it came to the sequels)
