There has been an awakening... and it's wonderful!!!

Rating: 9/10 (22 December 2015)

Finally Star Wars is back in full force. Beautiful acting, stunning practical effects and a great story. Although there are many recognizable plot devices it doesn't really hurt the film, since there is so much new stuff going on. Now that the theme has been set, there are a lot of paths down which the next installments could go. My only complaint is that 2 hours and 15 minutes really isn't enough to explain the major political conflicts and certain scenes therefore seem a little rushed, in order to progress the story. But I guess you can only cram so much into one film. Hopefully that will be explained a little better in episode 8. All in all this makes for a great Star Wars.
