stupendous
Beyond merely impressive
Stupendous means astonishingly large, impressive, or excellent—something that stuns or overwhelms: a stupendous achievement, stupendous views of the canyon.
The word carries a sense of awe, often at sheer scale or magnitude.
It can shade into hyperbole in casual use: The concert was stupendous.
