A landmark achievement for Science Fiction

Rating: 10/10 (9 March 2019)

A classic tale as old as time of a youngster meaning a mentor and going out on a grand adventure! The A-typical monomyth. Yet familiarity is not always a bad thing. At least not when you nail it the way Star Wars does. Unforgettable characters, a perfect musical score and a depth to the universe that opened up the gateway for so much more to come. Star Wars is to us what Greek gods where to culture in the past. While some hickups date the film, for the most part it holds up surprisingly well thanks to practical effects and clever set pieces makes it still hold up today. This fantasy film set in space should be mandatory viewing for absolutely everybody!
