J. J. Abrams didn't have a plan.

Rating: 5/10 (16 January 2020)

J. J. Abrams knows how to do awesome visual stuff, he has a great eye to discover actors, and he knows how to do great action scenes. But, definitely, he's not Steven Spielberg. To do a movie or a TV series like Lost you need to know what's your story about.
If George Lucas would be able to get the CGI of this last trilogy he would have done unforgettable prequels. Yes, George Lucas had a plan. Episode I, even though is lame because nobody looks to the CGI creature which is in front of (except the kid), renders are in its 1.0 version, costumes were designed by a kitschy Circe du Soleil designer, and Natalie Portman was making her firsts steps acting, you can see that there was a meaningful script. Something different from the oldies but an opening that finished in one of the best movies of the Star Wars Saga. Episode III: The Revenge of the Sith.
Most of the TV series are nailing it because of the stories because everybody is sick to watch big-budget movies without nothing else but pyrotechnics in it. Please, J. J. Abrams, or Disney, get the best scriptwriter next time.
