This movie just works well enough

Rating: 10/10 (21 December 2019)

What are audiences expecting, an equivalent of Lord of the Rings: Return of the King (2003)? Or, of Avengers: Endgame? Comparisons are not to be bothered with here. The Rise of Skywalker is its own kind of conclusion sequel. It does not quite hit the mark perfectly, but it hits close enough.
The Rise is certainly worth seeing in the best cinemas available. The enhancements of IMAX and 3-D definitely add to the experience in a good way. Nothing in the Rise actually relies on any enhancement. It all works well with or without. The ordinary flat screen in standard definition is the perfect way to watch it, since it matches the medium in which were shown most often the previous eight chapters of the Star Wars saga.
Where ever you see it, how ever you watch it, and whatever you're paying for your ticket, the Rise is worth every cent. The viewer will not be completely disappointed.
