Star Wars On Acid

Rating: 9/10 (29 November 2014)

After the hype I didn't know what to expect. I certainly didn't expect the movie to be so much fun. Lovable characters, believable friendships, emphatic emotions, excellent humour throughout. The story arc was generic. Good v Evil. Losers come good. Save the planet. There are reminisces of Star Wars. The Music is used to great effect and surprisingly fits in easily with the futuristic space age scenes. The focus on the old eighties Walkman is a sweet nod to my favourite decade ever. It's basically lots of laugh out loud fun with characters you can care about. My only gripe is Zoe Saldanas painfully looking thin waist. Her shape is not womanly. It was the only thing that bothered me about the whole movie. Towards the end there are clues to what may be explored in the sequel....bring it on.
