Rogue One is the movie that puts the "War" in Star Wars!

Rating: 8/10 (16 December 2016)

Non-Spoilers Review :) Arriving from my first tasting of the tape directed by Gareth Edward, I can tell you with certainty that we have just entered a new era for the saga, in which there are no limits to the type of stories, tones and styles that can be added to the universe Created by George Lucas and in turn, "enhance" the experience of the unsurpassed classic trilogy.
Although the film evokes well-known visual elements, it is far removed from the style of the 7 episodes of the central story. It brings us a narrative comparable to Saving Private Ryan (1998) or The Guns of Navarone (1961). Moving away from the adventurous and cool tone of its predecessors, the film immerse ourselves in a militarized and ruthless universe, which shows even more than the original trilogy, the coldness of the iron fist of the empire and the battle for survival of the rebellion.
The story was interesting, the acting was great, the music was different, the effects both practical and digital were flawless, the tone was on spot, the little fan service was put in elegantly, and Vader was... well, you'll see ;). It has a bit of a pacing problem in the first act (maybe because of the re-shoots) but it gets better as it goes.
Rogue One is a welcome addition to the Star Wars universe, which manages to entertain, amaze and move! If you have not seen the movie yet, what are you waiting for? RUN AND SEE IT! WJ
