Loved It

Rating: 9/10 (28 January 2018)

Recently I just viewed the film ,"Rogue One: A Star Wars Story", for class and I loved it. The main reason as to why I loved this film was majorly due to the way the story started out with the suspense and underlying tones. It all starts out with Jyn running away from the stormtroopers in order to save herself. However when she does start running, she turns around and tries to come back for her family but when she does, she witnesses her mom dying. This was most likely put in the film to show that Jyn remembers when her mom died, which is unique because it sets up the suspense.
Also when we first meet Cassian Andor, he kills the man he is talking to without any note of pain. This is almost like he doesn't care about this man, or he is used to killing people. The reason I feel for this is simply the facial expression he makes. He doesn't show the audience any kind of hurt when he kills the man in point blank range, in order to flee from being captured.
Another major thing I love about this movie is the CGI technology they use to bring back characters that have already passed away. Grand Moffe Tarkin is one character they brought back since he passed away but they used CGI to represent a younger Princess Leia. I honestly feel they did this to make the feeling of the film, that much more real. By doing this, it can make the audience more comfortable and relatable to this film.
However, there is one thing about this film I do not like at all. The ending is not my favorite. I'm not a big fan on how everyone at the end of the film dies while saving the plans. This frustrates me because the hero aspect of the film is destroyed. Normally in films the hero survives and there is more content on them but with this one, all of the heroes die, making it so there can't be anymore films based around them.
