Jyn Erso (Felicity Jones) is recruited by the Rebellion for a dangerous mission to steal the plans for the Death Star.
Pros:
•This is very much a war movie. Very dark and gritty. It looks like the original movies while at the same time incorporating the amazing technology we have today.
•While we all know the outcome of this story, I still felt invested in it. The writing was very good. Even some of the lines I heard in the trailer that I felt were a little cheesy really worked in the content of the scenes.
•Two words- Darth Vader. One of the most bad ass villains in history. He's only in a handful of scenes but holy shit was he terrifying.
•So many parallels to the political scene today that it's scary.
•Looks amazing on an IMAX screen and the 3D is actually pretty good.
•Well choreographed action scenes, especially in the third act. I got chills watching them they were that good.
•Alan Tudyk as K-2SO stole every scene he was in and provided some much needed humor.
Cons:
•A certain character appears from the original movies, but in cgi form. The effects are so bad on this person it's distracting. Normally this would be something I'd take a point off for but the movie is so fucking good that I'll let it slide this time. Everyone needs to stop what they're doing right now and go see this movie. This is the prequel we always dreamed of.
My Rating: 10/10
