Star Wars is back, minus it's heart.

Rating: 4/10 (18 December 2015)

I saw this flick days ago and it's taken me a while to write the review because I had to work out how I really felt the Force Awakens. Now I know.
As Ebert said - the original trilogy happened and it happened to me.
This film, like the prequel trilogy, just happened in front of me. It was more product than emotionally engaging narrative and I couldn't connect. Like fake boobs vs real one's, or my wife's hamburgers vs MacDonalds - some things feel and taste manufactured, lacking heart and soul.
This isn't about the PT vs the OT vs the NT. For me, only the OT has heart. Only the OT can connect and resonate on an emotional level.
Star Wars may be back but only in that way it came back in the 90s.
