Unforgettable classic

Rating: 10/10 (7 January 2019)

This movie was spectacular. Star Wars paved the way for science-fiction becoming mainstream culture. For a generation of people it has defined what the cinema experience is meant to be. James Earl Jones as the voice of Darth Vader was iconic and phenomenal. Filled with great characters and a fun story, Star Wars is well deserving of its reputation as a classic. John Williams's score alone makes this a film worth seeing. The characters are unforgettable and the special effects impressive for its time, but very outdated now.
The cinematography was outstanding. From the desert planet of Tatooine to the ominous Death Star, feels both real and fictional. The acting was incredible for people who had just begun their careers and Harrison Ford's Han Solo is an unforgettable, charismatic performance. The music in this film really stands out. John Williams outdid himself and made one of the most iconic themes to exist in movies. The plot is a generic yet fun hero's journey that keeps you entertained from start to end. Star Wars is an iconic film that has changed pop culture from westerns to sci-fi.
