Back to the roots of Star Wars

Rating: 8/10 (20 December 2015)

The new installment of the Star Wars saga is here and I must say, it is amazing! J.J Abrams chose to go back to the roots of Star Wars with real sets, real costumes and practical effects. It looks beautiful!
In terms of story, without getting into spoilers, you will find a lot of "A New Hope" in this which for me is completely fine because in my opinion we needed this after the prequels. It's familiar but it's good!
The Characters are amazing, the actors, old and new, do such a good job. You feel the connection, the emotions, the motivations, it is absolutely stunning. My most favorite character is Finn, he is so cool and funny in this movie which is my next point. The Humour in this movie is actually funny and it works in the context of the film. It is incredibly well done!
Kylo Ren is a super interesting villain and you can really understand his motivations and action through the way he is portrayed.
My one real "problem" with this film are the CGI characters, in the entire film there are only two CGI characters; Maz Kanata and Supreme Leader Snoke. Everything is done with real sets and costumes and people, everything looks so real so these CGI characters stand out a bit. Happily they're not that much in this movie so thats fine by me!
After all this is an amazing film, if you haven't seen it, go and see it. It will not let down!
May the force be with you my padawans!
