For fans, with love

Rating: 10/10 (18 December 2016)

So, almost everyone on this planet saw the original trilogy. If you did not - go watch the classic, you losing so many. And this is not a film for you. OK, Rogue One - is great, but with some conditions.
First impressions: at the last seconds of a movie, I almost cry, because of all memories that movie awaken in me. As for fan of IV-VI episode - this movie is the top of the cake. If you are the fan - go, you will not regret.
Story. It is not a secret that this is a movie about stealing of Death Star plans. And we all knew that this plans will be stolen (The start of New Hope). But the details was unknown (Extended Universe does not count). It was very interesting to follow the story for me, movie passed really fast, there was no boring moment in all film. The story is going around Jyn Erso, daughter of Galen Erso - one of the creators of Death Star. Jyn wants to find the father, rebels want to destroy Death Star, and the story go. It had no really unexpected events or unbelievable story turns, but it is interesting.
Characters. They are good and fit a movie well. I was afraid that it would be a movie about "impossible" task, for which the bunch of "heroes" with "unique" abilities needed. But it's good that it is not, our heroes are just people, not Jedy, not some other super-human, they are ordinary, but they fight against the empire. Everyone is interesting despite the fact, that their stories mostly was not told, but their simplicity make believing in their fillings and motives really easy. Droid K-2SO - great comical character, Baze - cool bad-ass warrior, Chirutt - a monk who believe in Force, Cassian - rebel soldier with dark past, and Jyn - who probably tries to find herself. They are not unique, but they fit this war drama just well.
Owerall. War - is the main theme of the movie. This war is darker and crueler that wars in other StarWars movies. There is no Jedi, there is only hope, and this hope is so small, that fighting only for this chance really hard. But it is worth to fight, what else you will do? This movie is dark, but it is Star Wars from the beginning to the end. Old desert spaceports with different aliens, war bases and spaceships of empire. Stormtroopers (still bad in aiming), space dog-fights and lasers all around. It's old good Star Wars, but with better graphics. Battles were awesome. The movie is really beautiful.
Cameo of our old friend also really good. Darth Wader - was just perfect. Tarkin - still so ruthless. And much more. This little moments creates the home mood around.
It is a great movie in Star Wars universe, and if you are the fan of the last one - you need to go. If you did not saw original trilogy (How it possible?) You probably did not understand many things, this movie is not separately standing one, but it complements other movies as it must be.
P.S. It must be 9/10, but I just cant=)
