Review of Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015) by Terry S — 15 Dec 2017

The Force Awakens continues to introduce new characters while also bringing back old favourites in a fantastically fun movie. Our new performers such as Boyega, Isaac, Gleeson and Ridley give likable and vibrant performances that can come across as overbearing at times but does stay true to the over the top science fiction lore.

The film continues to build on the trilogy format of the series; making it a great opener to a hopefully strong series. The designs are fantastic, with J.J Abrams giving a great traditional and unique look to the film as well as making exciting and adventurous action.

BB8 is a great mascot for this franchise as this inventive puppet shows emotion and fun while Adam Driver's Kylo Ren showcases the immense emotional strength of these characters and stories while also making for an intimidating and threatening character.

Though it can seems rushed and packed at times this will certainly please fans of all ages, making for a great family Christmas movie!
