Rating: 10/10 (14 September 2018)

A New Hope is easily one of the best sci-fi movies ever made. It started a revolution in filmmaking and changed cinema forever. It also started the biggest movie sagas of all time.
We're introduced to some unforgettable characters. Luke Skywalker is a simple farm boy who wants to explore the galaxy. Han Solo is a cocky smuggler who has problems with a vicious gangster. Leia Organa is a rebellious princess who is captured by the evil Empire. Obi-Wan Kenobi is a wise old Jedi Master who trains Luke in the ways of the Force. There are many interesting characters that you can relate to in some way.
But let's not forget Darth Vader. Vader is one of the greatest and most recognizable villains of all time. He's menacing, tyrannical, strong and fearless. The suspense always rises whenever he's present. Even if you don't know Star Wars, it's likely you know who Darth Vader is.
George Lucas' storytelling ability is expertly presented to us. The plot is perfectly paced and isn't boring or confusing at all. It engages the audience in a way that you don't want the movie to stop.
The special effects are groundbreaking. Everything looks so smooth. There are some really great looking shots that make your jaw drop. The practical effects are also amazing. All of the alien creatures we see look so real. The sets and surroundings are all legit and look awesome. A lot of vehicles and ships are literally just miniature models behind the scenes!
John Williams' epic score just adds to everything. His masterful work adds to the joy, action, emotion and suspense in every scene it's heard. It's easily one of the greatest film scores ever made.
In summary, A New Hope is one of the best Star Wars films ever made and one of the best films in history. It changed the way movies are made and collected a fanbase of millions of people. Including me!
