What Else Can I Say About This Force

Rating: 10/10 (10 June 1999)

George Lucas likes the old school of filmmaking - wide, epic ,long shots of scenes were the action takes place within the barrier of the camera's eye.Not to embellish himself with all the new cutting edge ways of building momentum with the " camera technique "as seen in a lot of SciFi/Fan/Hor movies as of late,albeit great ones, he continues to inspire with his vivid,but stationary canvass of gargantuan proportions.With computer graphics these days Lucas and his band of assertive elves can create anything they could muster with their noogans.That aside, the story is fine.... being that this is just the opener of a trilogy and the true embellishment of timeless themes , visual emotions and universal empathy for imagination that these films manage to inspire will inevitably come stronger in the coming chapters.Like poetry he has created a legacy of films that don't have to compare to each other.In a sense all installments of the same vision.He's not even a favorite director, but i respect him none the less.
