    The script by Evan Wright, Seth Fisher and Nick Schenk bristles with appealing gee-whiz energy, and the performances by Huisman, Aramayo and Hall, as well as those of the supporting cast, are perfectly in tune with the retro sensibility of the film.

    Another thing was that I did notice a number of inaccuracies, like when Robert Aramayo's character nicknamed their new engine the "Knucklehead", even if the latter term wasn't actually used by the company at the time.
