Hollywood Awakens

Rating: Null/10 (12 October 2016)

The first Star Wars film since 2005.
Hollywood awakens! Great movies are still being made after all! The third best Star Wars movie after A New Hope (1977) and The Empire Strikes Back (1980).
Seeing this film in a theatre in December 2015 really reminded me of my 1970s/1980s youth when I saw the original three movies. I don't think I will ever forget that feeling of walking out of the theatre and feeling like I was in the past.
I think it was seeing Luke Skywalker at the end that really got to me, it gave me something to look forward to in a couple of years as it was obvious that Luke would be a key figure in the next film.
But having said all this, I must admit that I made an encore screening of this film a few months later and I was less pleased with it, but don't read too much into that, maybe it is a movie you only see once and that is it?
So thanks for the memories, thanks for the drama, thanks for Harrison Ford, I will never forget December 2015...and Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
