Everything The Force Awakens should have been and wasn't. Of all the Star Wars films, this one is the most satisfying by far.
Very good movie. YODA ROCKS!!!! 3.5 stars
Upon second viewing, I decided that this installment was vastly superior to the first, but still nowhere close to the general quality and entertainment value of the original trilogy. Some characters, such as Ewen McGregor`s, are convincing and more than a little compelling; but others, including both young protagonists, are less-than fleshed out, and not as well acted. The pacing is good, action sequences are largely compelling, and there is enough variety to hold the interest. Generally entertaining, then, but not a "stellar" effort from the Lucas Group.
I think that this new DMR technology has the potential to revolutionize and revitalize the movie going experience. With picture this good, and 6 channels of uncompressed sound - why would anyone choose otherwise? My only critique of Star Wars is the lack of effective advertising. However, I can`t wait to see what comes next for IMAX.
They removed about 30 min of footage from the origianl version
