Great visual effects, lacks the plot, lot of racism

Rating: 4/10 (24 December 2015)

The movie is entertaining, it has great visual effects and a lot of action. But it lacks the most important thing... a plot.
The whole movie is trying to be a remake or a reboot of the original ones:
A big genocidal organization is hunting a robot that fall in the hand a a young princess. The robot contains vital information that eventually get into the rebel hands. The evil organization then wants to destroy the rebels planet with giant canon on a huge ship, but the rebels manage to enter though a narrow tunnel and destroy their ship first.
This can either describe the original movie, or this one, but this doesn't stop here, every character is a copy of the originals: BB8 is as much as a copy of r2d2 as the old lady is a copy of yoda, or phasma is a new bobba fet and probably the evil president snow is a tiny evil yoda as well!!! Also, it seems tatooine is now called jakku.
The movie starts with a guy that has been kidnapped by the first order, the new Nazi version of the empire, and this guy has been extensively trained and brainwashed for decades to serve as a storm trooper. However, after 30 seconds on a battlefield, this storm trooper realizes he never wants to kill again, so he decides to escape... by massacring the closest thing he has to a family: his partners stormtroopers, which if we do our math, are also poor slave child's. It is a wonder the first order has lasted this long with such a great training program...
If we somehow manage to forget this huge plot hole, we get to the fun part, the racist part. The black guy rescues the white, and since the black guy has no name, the white guys gives him one(not the racist part yet, it get worse, believe me). I mean for real, Disney really made its point on this movie. The only black storm trooper we ever get to see on the entire universe is a janitor, yes, in a galaxy full of serving robots that do the most complex tasks as translating into hundreds of languages, they somehow still need a black guy to clean their toilets, as this tasks is probably humiliating for robots, but not for black people. So, after some events he manages to find a girl that hits him with a stick for no reason, or maybe because she is also racist, who knows. Once again we see how much of a failure this training program is, "back in my days we trained clones within 3 years, now you take 20 and they get beaten by schoolgirls". Anyway... Both the girl and the guy start to get shot by spaceships, so they decide to escape. Except the girl is not comfortable with the black guy touching her hand... "everything is exploding around me because we are being hunted by a genocidal organization, but i am more concerned by being touched by your hand", sure it makes a lot of sense. Anyway, this schoolgirl that lived her whole life in the desert, suddenly is a master pilot/mechanic and manages to steal the millennium falcon, and with some incredible maneuvers, he helps the storm trooper to kill his brothers. Yes, the very same storm trooper that doesn't want to kill ever again, and he is incredibly happy about this massacre after.
These are only the first 10 minutes of the movie... the movie has a long list of plot holes and racist moments. I will list just some of them:
The jedi are a legend, no one is sure that they had ever existed. Except the jedi council where part of the republic 50 years ago... and a jedi helped the rebellion about 30 years ago. But for some reason everyone forgot about that.
The bad guy wears a mask, yet he will remove it if anyone, even an enemy asks it politely.
At the end of the movie, after everything explodes, suddenly r2d2 who was suspended for decades, wakes up for no reason other than giving continuity to the movie and shows the remaining information on Luke sky-walker current location.
Anyway... movie is full of racism and plot holes, but if you're like the people on the movie, and can forget about this, the movie is fun.
