A New Frontier in the Star Wars Saga

Rating: 9/10 (17 December 2015)

I'm a Star Wars movie fan. I grew up in the '80s and caught the original films on video. I anticipated and enjoyed the release of the prequel trilogy. And when I sat down to watch The Force Awakens I was immediately brought back into a state of childhood wonder where heroes are common people who put aside their selfish wishes for the sake of the greater good.
This new movie beautiful, rugged, and looks lived in. Everything you see looks and feels real. There are surprises everywhere. The characters are relatable and intriguing. It's good to see the old classic characters help pass the torch.
On the whole I was very impressed. The plot itself can resemble that of A New Hope with some improvements. That doesn't bother me though. I loved it. You probably will too.
