Star Wars is back and its incredible!

Rating: 9/10 (19 December 2015)

Well... The wait is over... Star Wars: The force Awakens is upon us... But does all the hype around this movie worth it?
Well... it does! JJ Abrams have done an incredible job, delivering the best Star Wars to date... It ties very well it the Return of the Jedi, and pay a respectful homage to the original Trilogy.
Away are the almost cartoony and super colorful images of the prequel trilogy, and a much more realistic and mature color palette is inserted this time.
All the footage was very well handled and the pacing was correct from start to finish...
There is a moment in the middle of the movie that is truly amazing and very touching... Who have already seen the movie knows what im talking about...
Clearly is a joy to see the old gang coming back for one more ride, and like it was to be expected they are wonderful on their parts... (on my theater ppl even clap hands when Han Solo, Chewie, Leia, got their first act...
The new cast are very good and very likable... Fin and Rey, really do mix well and they are very good to see and they are truly good young actors...
BB-8 is a little robot like "Wall-E", is a very cute and expressive, that convey emotions just like a person would do... Its very nice to watch him go, and very funny on some parts of the film.
About the villains, i did like the Kylo Ren Character, he was a convincing bad guy, and it have some layers to his part... I also did like the more realistic "Force Powers"... Force Grab for instance is way more realistic and it really feels that something is pulling and grabbing. Incredible job there...
I did like the new order feel... It looked and feeled like the Nazy Party, with a very menacing feel to it...
Story... Well ppl did say on the others reviews, that was a remade or remake of the Ep 4... That is rubbish... The stories might look close at first eye but they are not...
The story was very engaging and heart pounding... I was most of my time on the edge of the seat, with the expectation of the next part of the story...
Its truly great and with a lot of heart on it... We really do care about our heroes...
Finally VFX... They are top notch like it was expected from a 200 Million Movie. The mix of practical effects and CGI, does work great and gives the feel of a more realistic look on the movie... I did not see any less then great VFX, and photography was for the most part perfect.
Final Thoughts...
Star Wars is back, and its JJ Abrams time! After some lackluster prequels that where just too much unrealistic and colorful, we are back at the vision that was created on SW EP 4 and 5. It have it all... Old cast is back, new cast is in... Great and Heart Moving Story, that will finish with a hope note! For me its the best movie of the year!
Clearly its a 9 out of 10. Well worth the price of the ticket... If you can go see it in IMAX! :)
Best Regards,
