A Sci-Fi movie with a retro outfit

Rating: 5/10 (16 December 2015)

Star Wars TFA is first of all a tribute to the original trilogy. Everything in this movie has a "retro" touch. The SFX (perfectly integrated and never too invasive), the characters (like the ones taken from a comic book), the action (that again mirrors the old trilogy). There is nothing innovative about TFA, but the trip is certainly worth the price of the ticket (and J J Abrams is certainly giving justice to the saga). Disney succeeded in assembling an event, before the movie itself. The problem is that the promoters grossly over-hyped the movie. Moreover all box office expectation discussions are just annoying. Star Wars TFA will probably brake some box office records, but is not memorable like, for instance, Avatar. James Cameron's movie set some new standards and people came back to the teathers for more. I do not think I will go back to see Star Wars anytime soon as there is not enough magic around it. I rate it 7 stars out of 10. Re: A Sci-Fi with a "retro" outfit
