The Pyramid of Darkness: The Further Adventures of G.I. Joe

About This Movie

The Pyramid of Darkness is an interesting entry in the G.I. Joe animated universe. It has this unique blend of intensity and a somewhat campy vibe. The pacing feels like a rollercoaster—some moments rush, others linger. Zartan and Cobra's operations against the Delta Space Station really ramp up the stakes, making G.I. Joe's struggles feel palpable. The animation style, typical of the mid-'80s, has its charm, with vivid colors and dynamic action sequences that were probably impressive for the time. The performances, especially from the villains, have a certain over-the-top flair that adds to the atmosphere. There’s a sense of urgency throughout, particularly with Cobra Commander's outrageous plan to black out the world. It's a time capsule of a specific era in animation.
