Good attempt at nostalgia

Rating: 8/10 (21 December 2015)

I think this was definitively a good attempt at nostalgia, however I believe they most certainly recycled way too much of the original 1977 Star Wars IV- A New Hope, only with a new filter.
Excellent special effects and CGI, however, it seems to me that JJ Abrams was a little too afraid of not getting it just right. So in order to play it safe for Disney, he simply reused what worked from the original, or better yet, originals.
Films in my opinion are about gambling with new attempts and different ideas, and just like with actual gambling, there can never be a sure way in film industry, and when filmmakers use too much of by the boom methods, something get's lost.
Hence because a few gambles were made, I believe in my opinion, that it somehow missed the mark.
