...and thus begins the science fiction era !

Rating: 9/10 (25 June 2002)

The first, the original, the only ...STAR WARS ! This is where it all began, when the Science Fiction concept was finally accepted among the broad audience. And what a beginning - the ultimate adventure, a story of good versus evil, and the scene set in outer space... does it get any better ? No ! The only reason I don't give it a perfect 10 is because that should be a privilege for true perfection only. When you have watched Star Wars as many times as I have, you begin to see the little flaws. Granted, for 1977 the flaws are pretty meaningless, still - they are there.
But Star Wars should be watched as an important piece of movie history as well as a damn great science fiction/adventure experience ! If you have not seen it yet, which I find hard to believe, do so. You will NOT be disappointed !
