A complete ripoff of the original Star Wars.

Rating: 3/10 (7 March 2016)

I had high hopes for this movie given all the advertising and hype about it's release. Yet when I watched the movie at first glance it seemed all action packed and well balanced, but I soon realized this movie had the same plot as the original Star Wars, only different characters. It was nothing more than a ripoff! Many people for some reason ignore this which is clear to me given its high rating of 8.4 at the time of this review.
For those of you who do not see the similarities between the two movies I'll tell you; So, both movies start out with storm troopers invading a rebel base, in which their aim is to find valuable information that is vital for the rebel alliance, given that the rebels are losing ground Leia/Poe give the information to a droid for safekeeping and the droid escapes. In both movies the main villain Darth Vader/Kylo Ren, step out onto the already defeated rebel base to interrogate the surviving rebels. Meanwhile on the same desert planet we are introduced to the main protagonist, Luke/Rey, who happen to be characters who are in search for greater purpose in life and their lives forever change when they find the droid that is carrying the vital information. The protagonists are soon embarked on a mission which forces them to flee the desert planet and deliver the information to the rebel alliance. On their way, they are captured by a ship/death star but eventually escape. Once they arrive at their destination, the protagonists and the rebels prepare for an assault on the death star/star killer base, in order from not being annihilated by the super weapon. The Rebels succeed with extreme luck and blow up the entire base.
Other similarities include; In both movies the main villain was once a good Jedi turned bad. Both Rey and Luke are related to a very powerful Jedi. Both main characters later embark on a journey to find a Jedi master in order to learn the ways of the force. Both movies involve a character who was seen for 4 episodes and is later killed by the main villain. Both movies involve a planet destroying weapon which is tested onto another planet(s).
In conclusion, the movie is a ripoff, although the movie had great potential and good acting, it could've gotten a 10/10 from me had the writers created something new and original. But my final decision is 3/10.
