The day the world changed forever!

Rating: 10/10 (12 June 2016)

A low budget sci-fi popcorn flick that changed movies and Hollywood forever!
I don't know where to start with this film as it changed the world. We had had some SFX in old fantasy films like Sinbad or Jason and the argonauts or space oddessy 2001 but when I sat down I the cinema for the fist time nothing could prepare me for what was about to happen!
The opening sequence where the camera pans down to the planet followed by the rebel ship and then the star destroyer flying over your head. No one had seen or imagined anything like this was possible let alone watching it right before their eyes! And it kept on getting better!
it was like having a black &a white TV and then suddenly walking into a 3D IMAX! You couldn't comprehend what was actually happening.
There is often a debate about the greatest movie of all time. Some say Citizen Kane or Shawshank to name a few but for me it's Star Wars and Empire Strikes Back.
The score is ahead of its time. To be honest nothing has ever come close. It makes a massive impact on all 3 original films.
Let's review it by breaking it down:
Story - classic story which had stood the test of time Special Effect - absolutely amazing Set design - original, faultless and imaginative Musical score - absolute classic Pace of the film - spot on
When I first saw this film I was blown away! I had never seen anything like it and come to think of it I really have. for me it's an all time classic that changed the movie industry for ever.
If you're sitting at home reading this, rake it out and watch it now. It will put a smile on your face and that's what it's all about.
For those who haven't given this a 10 I can't understand it.
The movie that is the definition of 'a movie'
