Same story different actors

Rating: 5/10 (17 December 2015)

Star Wars: The Force Awakens, REVIEW. Yesterday I saw the 3D version. The 3D effects, sound, music, action were great. BUT there were just too many, seen that done that scenes. The so called darkside characters are NOT frightening at all and appear as a weak shadow of Darth Vader. Several scenes with British actors and their thick accent makes it impossible to understand what they are saying. The basic story line appears to be the same as the first Star Wars. The Bad guys have a NEW advanced weapon, The Death Star. The resistance are attacked and they counter attack the Death Star. Better CGI, but very familiar flight path. Then you have the same, my father, my sister, my brother, connections. When I saw this I said "UGH"! Carrie Fisher was in the movie but her spirit was not there! As interesting to watch and listen to as paint drying. Where is Luke SKYWALKER? His total time on screen, maybe 30 seconds! Otherwise an exciting adventure film if you enjoy explosions, chase scenes, spacecraft and have no interest in a NEW story.
