An epic return to the star wars universe

Rating: 10/10 (17 December 2015)

After ten years of waiting we finally have a new star wars film and this is easily one of the most anticipated films of all time and it really delivers. The premise of this film is that 30 years after the empire was destroyed a new order has risen in its place. With the help of some new allies the resistance attempt to save the world. Now when the casting was released the biggest surprise was newcomer daisy ridley was playing a big role in the film but she stole the show. Rey was one of the most interesting characters in recent memories and she just felt very relatable and real to me as a viewer. John boyega plays finn and he is also fantastic in this film. He was a conflicted hero but you liked his character because of his likable personality and his chemistry with ridley. Oscar Isaac plays Poe dameron the best pilot in the resistance and he is possibly the coolest character in the film. He isn't in the film a huge deal but does a fantastic job at making you care about his character. Adam driver plays the villain kylo ren and he did a great job at creating a villain who does have some human qualities to him and some memorable moments. A special shout out has to go to go to Harrison ford returning as Han solo. Not too long ago we saw him unsuccessfully return as indiana Jones but he absolutely delivers in this film. His character is really developed and it feels natural for him to return. The story is really good, yes it is familiar but it really works. It is always moving and for this film that is really important to keep you invested. There is allot of emotion added to the narrative that works very well. The script is really good, this is probably the funniest star wars film ever but also has allot of emotion to it that doesn't feel out of place. The style is back to the more gritty star wars that utilises both practical and cgi effects superbly. The action scenes are all filmed beautifully but they felt more intense then ever before. Overall this film really delivered and I can't wait to go see it again.
