Review of Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015) by Bren C — 20 Jan 2018

I have mixed feelings about The Force Awakens. Abrahams did a good job bringing back that Star Wars feel, lots of epic flying and swash buckling. Some scenes need to be watched in the cinema to get fully appreciated, like the X-wings approaching over the lake for their attack run or the Millenium Falcon flying arond the star destroyer wreck.

On the downside I find the storyline lacking and acting of the new main characters Finn and Rey not convincing. Another thing missing is the richness of new worlds and the design of space ships George Lucas is famous for.

It's all missing here, just old stuff made bigger. Abrahams made a good attempt, but he can do better if he wants.
