The rebellion through the eyes of the soldier, excellent stand alone movie with good ties to the trilogy

Rating: 9/10 (14 December 2016)

Every Star Wars fan going to this movie already knows how the story will end, yet it managed to surprise me. The movie is fast paced and full of action while providing decent back story to our main character jyn. The shots of the many new worlds in this movie are absolutely gorgeous. It has the most beautiful shots of any star wars movie to date: from the action scenes to giant space battles. The music is amazing a must for every star wars movie (its a space opera after all). The battle experience given is that of the (foot) soldier, with the occasional overview. The acting is excellent overall, even though the pace is fast human emotions can be felt and understood. The movie feels like star wars with a fresh twist, something that was needed after the slight copycat feel of the force awakens. I think this movie is perfect to introduce people to the star wars universe. I can recommend it to all fan or not.
