Probably more enjoyable by Star Wars fans

Rating: 4/10 (4 January 2016)

This is the first complete Star Wars movie that I saw. I have seen before some small parts from the 80's movies (not sure which one) and I've enjoyed it at the time (I've seen it as a teenager). Of course, I have been in contact with the pop culture related to it and so it was quite a thrill for me to finally watch the acclaimed series.
For a non-fan and also a first time watcher, the movie had no deep impact: not emotionally (the characters are not natural, they have no stories, they are not likable, they act strange - I know we're talking about a fiction universe here, but, oh boy, there's some really weird logic in this universe), not visually (I was expecting to see more "Stars", beautiful landscapes, strange planets, more creatures and their customs; there is so much potential for visual eye candies here but this movie had almost none: just some dessert, some forest and some recycled creatures and droids). The only somehow visually stimulating part is the "wars" part, but nothing special, just the usual "big movie" CGI effects.
The plot is horrible, there is no big meaning behind it, it seems like there was no effort put into it. The only thing that turned out good (I'm pretty sure is unintentional) is that the characters are not 100% good or bad. So if you are a more discerning and restrictive movie consumer, there is nothing to see here. If your tolerance is lower you can watch it, but don't expect much fun from it.
