Good Story, but not quite the Uplift of "A New Hope" or "Return of The Jedi"

Rating: 8/10 (20 December 2016)

This is a powerful story of heroism, determination and bravery. It is based around the lines in the "A New Hope" Story comments on the screen that followed a long time ago, in a galaxy far far away.
The Rebel alliance stole the plans for the Empire's big weapon the Death Star and were attempting to get those plans somewhere to diagnose them, and determine if there is a weakness.
In this movie we see the story of those brave rebels that performed that task. We also see the reason, they strive with tremendous determination to complete the task.
We know how it is to end although we do not know the entire story.
Not giving much away, it is hard to determine if "The Force" plays a hand in this story for the rebels. But bravery and mind over matter determination definitely show up here. This makes the story more about the ordinary people, who can become heroes. If you know the story of A New Hope, you will find the ending uplifting. But even if you do, you probably need to grasp the realistic nature of what is taking place on the screen as well, as it is not extremely uplifting.
