Blew my mind!

Rating: 9/10 (18 December 2015)

I'm a veeery long-term Star Wars fan, since the release of A New Hope back in '77.
The Force Awakens was absolutely brilliant - everyone in the IMAX cinema clapped and cheered at the end. And it was a mixed audience too, not just Star Wars nerds like myself.
I would describe this movie as a Star Wars that's real and gritty - I felt immersed in every scene, and not once was the spell broken, unlike the tragic prequels.
The acting was superb, and cinematography was amazing. I couldn't tell when CGI was being used and I watched it on a 32 metre screen! Story was excellent with some unexpected twists, music great as always, action sequences were breathtaking.
Everyone in the cinema was quite emotional by the end. I don't know how some people are giving this a low rating, they must be dead inside.
Looking forward to seeing this again in a few days!
Thanks JJ. for coming through,
