![]() ![]() It's a wonderful collaboration of new and old filming techniques that combine beautifully to create the ultimate Star Wars film that everyone can enjoy. It's instantly apparent that this film was made by a man who loves Star Wars just as much as we do. The environment in which these characters are staged in feels so authentic and believable, you feel as though you are a part of the journey yourself. CGI is used in this film, but to my relief it does not overpower the organic and practical effects. The various locations are as gorgeous as they are aesthetically pleasing. This film is rife with stunning cinematography. I was already familiar with J.J Abrams directing style going into this film. They slipped back into their respected characters so seamlessly, it feels as though no time has passed at all. The old cast of course are all stellar too. Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac and Adam Driver all do amazingly well. They don't clash with the old cast, but instead melt beautifully with them in every scene. The new characters of the film are all fully developed and come with their own strengths and insecurities. So it brings me great delight to be able to tell you that the most recent installment in the franchise did not disappoint. So you can imagine my excitement when I found out that they were making another Star Wars film that was not only inventing an entirely new cast of fresh faced characters, but was also bringing back the cast from the original films, who that of which have not walked on a Star Wars set for over 30 years. I never thought I would be able to see Luke Skywalker, Han Solo or Princess Leia on the big screen ever in my life time. I was born in the mid 1990s, so I never had a chance to experience the original Star Wars trilogy on the big screen and this was something that I had a hard time accepting ever since I was a child. ![]() And I think I speak for both the young and the young at heart when I say that Star Wars has brought escapism to audiences all over the globe and for many generations over the past 40 years. Even if it's for only two hours, I like to occasionally escape this often unfair world we all live in and lose myself in a fictional adventure. When I go to the movies, I aim to experience one thing: escapism. Reviewed by Sewaat 8 / 10 An Exciting Return to an Amazing Saga The third time I watched it, it actually physically left a bad taste in my mouth, thank god for popcorn. Just give them the razzle dazzle crap or whatever? It really is sad just how empty this movie is. Who even needs real developed characters. God forbid challenge people's short attention spans. Because that would be too long and boring, wouldn't it. The characters hardly develop or learn anything and Rey's transition to a Jedi is so fast and forced, you can see how how obvious that the writers were too lazy to even bother to give give her a proper arc and story and make her feel like an actual human we can care about. The dialogue is so shallow and paper thin, it's like the writers just gave up. The characters are so aloof and seem almost brain dead. The movie is nothing more than a shadow of the previous movies. It has great looking effects, but it's only there to hide the fact that once you look past all the superficial razzle dazzle to hide the mess underneath. It's completely hollow with nothing beyond its visuals The movie is well shot, I'll say that. But after seeing it again, I realised something is off, something is not right about this movie. I'll admit the first time I saw it at the movies I thought it was pretty good, and i watched it another two times with friends and family over the course of a month before it finally left theatres. This film really is nothing more than an Advertisement. Nothing more than a sociopathic superficial cash grab Reviewed by coasterdude44 7 / 10 Ghost of a Movie. ![]()
