scavenging a strenght through lost identity chasing a will to survives ones unknown past,

Rating: 10/10 (5 January 2016)

I have been a been a big fan of star wars forever as I remember of the first 3 films from George Lucas with a new hope , empire strikes back and the return of the Jedi we were introduced to Han luc Leia, Chewbacca Ben and obi wan ken obi cp30 and r2d2 and Darth Vader with the force of dark and the light we all knew Luke was trained by Ben ken obi i they find out who Darth Vader is as we know Darth Vader sense about a child hidden from him so any way we come the prequels as the introduce a young an akin sky walkers training with obi wan Kenobi who has the powers and over the course of 3 films we watch as Anakin is turned by the lord sith and slowly changes him to the dark side and becoming Vader so with the new star wars comes a visionary director for recharging old films and exploding them onto the big screen I avoided the trailers so I wouldn't be disappointed this film has it all in it surprises mystery suspense nods to the characters that are related in some way this film takes place 30years after the events of return of the Jedi with Luke leaving something behind on a desert to be cared for I'm worried about how much I should actually say. Disney and Lucasfilm have been very clever in how the film has been marketed and for once none of the film's twists or surprises have been spoiled in trailers or advertisements leading up to the film. I can't even talk about the first line of the now famous text scroll at the start of the film this brought back fond memories of old star wars so the new film . In the wake of the destruction of the second Death Star and the apparent defeat of the Galactic Empire, a new army known as the First Order has risen in their place. The mysterious Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) leads a group of stormtroopers to the desert planet of Jakku to search for a particular item. What exactly the item is will not be spoiled here! They encounter a Resistance fighter by the name of Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac) and the resulting fire fight leaves Poe's droid BB-8 on the run and one particular storm trooper (John Boyega) having doubts about his place in the First Order. BB-8 soon encounters a scavenger by the name of Rey (Daisy Ridley this is her film ) and everyone sets out to fight the dark side and get BB-8 back to the resistance while encountering some old friends along the way and that's all I can say with wandering into spoiler territory. All the cast are on top form with the likes of Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher reprising the roles of Han Solo and Princess Leia as if they had never left. The new cast are perfectly introduced and immediately feel like they have been here all along with everyone's old favorites. That being said, this is absolutely Daisy Ridley's film as Rey. She gives the best performance of the entire film and I wish I could go on and on about it but it would spoil so much for anyone who hasn't seen it. Kylo Ren is a fantastic villain that has so much more depth than any of the Star Wars villains before him because he has his name that stands for something else . He can quickly go from being stoic and menacing, to lashing out in a fit of rage and trying to cut someone's arm off with a light saber. Domhnall Gleeson is great but doesn't get enough time to shine as the sneering General Hux, leader of the First Order's Starkiller Base. Surprisingly The Force Awakens is also one of the funniest films of the year. Some of the jokes have to do with throwbacks to there a few twist in this that will shock a few people the original films but many of them are just plain hilarious. BB-8's attempt to give a thumbs up might just be the funniest thing I've seen all year. I have seen some complaints that The Force Awakens is almost too similar to the very first film at some points with the plot. And yes, Skellig Michael absolutely gets its part in the film after all the press coverage the filming was getting all those months ago. While I can understand where they're coming from, for me The Force Awakens somehow managed to tread that fine line between fan boy service and fan introduction. It welcomes you back into the world of Star Wars but if you've never been a fan before it's just given you plenty of reason to stay and become one. I can honestly say The Force Awakens deserves to be seen by everyone and but to see the other films to under stand everything that happens in the universe here as to clues in the film go online to see I loved this and nostalgic as well fantastic action scenes and fighter pilots well what can I say if your not with the force now you will never be 2hrs15mins of pure heaven 10/10
