Fantastic, Star Wars has risen to prominence once again with an amazing entry into modern filmmaking.

Rating: 9/10 (19 December 2015)

Star Wars 7 provides wonderful characters, both new and old. The film begins with fantastic examples of beautiful cinematography and introduces Kylo Ren as a dark and intriguing character with clear direction allowing him to develop into this incredible figure in the star wars universe. The film also includes two new characters in the form of Rey and Finn who are both excellently represented in their own rights and only add to the already brilliant film, with excellent performances by both Daisy Ridley and John Boyega.
Whilst the story is similar to prior movies and may be considered nothing new by some star wars fans, it is executed perfectly and provides a basis for the amazing effects and character bonds developed in the movie. Despite the similarities one point to remember is that this film is aimed at a new generation, including myself, and provides a similar story line off of the basis of improving on it and delivering the original majesty of Star Wars to this new generation.
The sound and visuals of this film are almost perfect with some of the finest examples of both CGI and practical effects, with John Williams returning to the franchise in outstanding fashion providing an incredible score and returning to the original Star Wars greatness. JJ Abrams also does a fantastic job of directing with an excellent script and production values.
The film provides a fantastic cinema experience with only minor flaws if at all and manages to capture Star Wars' original greatness and return the franchise to form after George Lucas' escapade of the prequels. Overall it is a wondrous film and well worth every minute, leaving you only wanting more due to the high quality of the film.
8.9/10. May the force be with you!
