Star Wars done right

Rating: 9/10 (6 January 2016)

I caught "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" in 3D at the movie theater. "Wow" and "Outstanding" come to mind. It had all the formula moves from the original "A New Beginning", yet in 3D and better graphics. The 3D effects for the space scenes were outstanding. At one point, one of the space ships seem to come right off the screen and into the theater. The acting is so much better than the last 3 movies. Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher do an outstanding job of reprising their roles. The new girl "Rey", played by Daisy Ridley, did a terrific job as the new Jedi. I think that Fin, played by John Boyega, has some room to grow, but not bad. The other actors carried him just a bit. Fin, do better next time! There were lots of great cameos from actors that I like; Andy Serkis, Simon Pegg, and Greg Grunberg to name a few. This movie does what a Star Wars movie should; make me want to watch the next one as soon as possible. I feel very confident that this series will be worth watching and adding to my collection.
