This is it! The movie I was looking for the most this year is finally out and it is great! Star Wars: The Force Awakens is not just a good Star Wars movie, it is also a good cinematic piece of work and I am not just saying it because I am a fan of the franchise. This is one of the most beautiful looking movies hands-down and everybody working on it, be it the actors, writers, directors, extras or the creators of the costumes and puppets, are giving their very best.
I need to confess, even though I trusted J.J. to create a good Star Wars flick, I was still worried that it may rely more on paying tribute to the original trilogy than being its own film in the franchise. But after watching this movie it was like a heavy weight was lifted from my shoulders. After the credits rolled I couldn't help notice that I had tears in my eyes and a longing for more, all fears were blown away and I can honestly say that this is one of my favourite Star Wars movies.
This sci-fi blockbuster revolved around the character of Rey, a scavenger of the planet of Jakku and she eventually runs into the little droid BB-8 and former stormtrooper Finn. Finn, who was born and raised to follow orders without questioning, left the First Order because he couldn’t shake the feeling that what he did was plain wrong. This starts their adventure that leads them to the Resistance and thus they meet Han Solo. This is all I am going to say about the plot.
This is not a perfect movie though, not that something like that exists, but it is as good of a Star Wars sequel to the originals as it can come. The flaws that I picked up while watching are just minor issues but, due to the majority of the film being really good, those nuisances did stand out.
This is a fast paced movie that jumps from one incident to the next, but it is done right and therefore benefits the plot, only halting for moments of emotional importance. Old and new characters were set-up extremely well and you really care about what will happen to them, because it is through these figures that the plot progresses.
The story in this sci-fi opera contains a lot of love for the material, understands the franchise and therefore has a soul. The plot advances by showing us what is happening rather than depending on explanatory dialogues and also contains great humour that spawns naturally from the characters and fits the events, so it does not feel forced.
So what where my issues with the Force Awakens? Well, for one I thought that although Kylo Ren is a remarkable enemy, I lacked to fully comprehend his motivation for joining the First Order and as thus the dark side, because his character wasn’t sufficiently developed. My second issue was that Starkiller base was nothing that felt truly menacing. Its purpose was to give the Republic a reason to engage the First Order head on.
Daisy Ridley and John Boyega were fantastic casting choices. Boyega oozed with energy and you could clearly notice how excited he was to be in this film, while Ridley was simply perfect! She stole every scene she was in and had the benefit that she was completely new to the business; this actress will have an amazing career in front of her. On a side note, I just wanted to include that the figure of Poe Dameron, played by Oscar Isaac, was the coolest in this movie.
It is due to that motivation and excitement that you care for the relationship of their respective characters of Rey and Finn. They had an amazing chemistry and I simply wanted to see more of them on screen! Another great relationship that gradually builds up in the movie is that of Rey and BB-8. The ball-shaped droid’s character was great, not too cute and with the right amount of attitude.
Harrison Ford was great! He once again incorporated the role of Han Solo and also had a great chemistry with the new cast. Most important though, you felt like the character had grown over the past 30 years as well as his relationship with his best friend and co-pilot Chewie. It was a treat to see both of them on screen, and they gave the movie quite a bit of humour with the ongoing banter between each other.
Finally, I would like to talk about the character of Leia. I was really worried how Carrie Fisher would portray her and how the chemistry between her and Ford would feel on screen. But my doubts were blown away once again. She was great and in the scenes she was with Solo there was still a strong connection and attraction between the two figures, but this time it also included a tragic and remorseful note.
Episode VII has jaw-dropping beautiful cinematography with long, wide shots. It also makes use of actual practical effects and real locations. The different designs for the alien races looked real, because nearly all were handwork made puppets and costumes. Sadly I also thought that due to the movie using practical effects in 90% of the scenes, the CGI figures sometimes looked out of place. They are still good-looking and gorgeous, and at times they seem fit into the scene.
Verdict: Episode VII is everything I hoped for and more. It ranks high on my list of favourite Star Wars films right after A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back. It not only has beautiful effects and great camera work, but newcomers Daisy Ridley and John Boyega did a fantastic acting job. It’s great script; engaging story and fantastic dialogues are further proof of this film’s superiority and will therefore give it a 9.5 out of 10.
