An incredibly-accomplished film!

Rating: 10/10 (9 March 2020)

The droid who can't keep things to himself is one of the funniest characters in cinema in the last 20 years. The shot of the kid, crying and helpless, while bullet-lazers sear all around you will sear itself into your memory for good. The scene at the end where Darth Vader doesn't seem much concerned about getting down to business is truly terrifying. The line the guy says about how "we've all been spies, assassins, saboteurs, all doing things we'd rather forget for the good of the cause ... " explains his rather curious action at the beginning of the movie. The scientists all lines up on the bridge look like *scientists*--like Wernher Von Braun or U.S. scientists here, caught up in "Operation Paperclip" and other shenanigans, having to do with War and where the Work Went for Scientists to Do. This is an incredibly wise film! Really! And this is what CGI is *for*.
