Review of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016) by Giovanni G — 25 Feb 2018

If you expect a "Star Wars" movie to make you freak out like a teen with amazing lightsaber duels, or just want a highly Force-related plot, "this is not the movie you're looking for".

But if you, like me, would enjoy a war movie in space, with astonishing special effects and a climax so well done it keeps you on the edge of your seat, then get ready to see one of the most beautiful and well made battles in space not only from the Star Wars universe, but in the entire Sci-Fi production of the last few years.

Plot is simple and a true fan will already know how this is going to end, even if a couple of minor plot twists here and there will surprise him/her.

Unfortunately, it has quite negative aspects, too: to link with characters like Jynn and Cassian may be a little harsh, and the first minutes are quite hard to follow if you're not paying enough attention.

But just the last five minutes are already worth the ticket.
