Great movie, but I'm still not a fan.

Rating: 8/10 (31 July 2016)

There really isn't anything that unpredictable about the film. Story-wise, it goes from A to B in a very simple way.
Visually though, its practically flawless. J.J. Abrams really knows his stuff. Everything is literally epic in this film. John Williams' score is no exception. Performances take a bit of time to warm to, but by then end make you eager for more.
Admittedly, the only thing I'd seen before the actual movie was the poster from a distance. Never bothered to look at it properly. I didn't even know that Han was going to be in it.
For the most part, it's lighthearted and fun but there are some beautiful moments too. Probably just enough to convince us to care about their fates.
From a non-fan, this film is kind of incredible.
