Like a Novella

Rating: 6/10 (19 December 2016)

This reminded me of a novella that you would find at the end of a book. It definitely has an "in-between" story feel to it. As I watched it, Mad Max kept coming to mind. There were gritty scenes that made this feel different than the other movies in the series.
The beginning was slow. These were all basically new characters that needed to be developed. The ending could be an issue for younger audiences due to massive death of said main characters.
The movie ends with an optimistic line that ties it to the fourth movie "A New Hope." Seeing it on a big screen is a definite plus. I would see it once, but not purchase it for my collection.
