Spoiler Free Star Wars: Force Awakens Review

This is really not farm related but I wanted to post a review of this movie in case anyone I know is interested in it and wants to see it.  And since nothing is going on around the farm right now because it is winter...


Spoiler Free Star Wars: Force Awakens review-


=contains no character names or anything to give you a clue what happens=

=May have less spoilers than actual trailers=

If you like Star Wars go out and see it.  I was afraid with how much I hated Episode 2 this one would fail for me but it didn't. The director did a good job and didn't let me down on this.  It had one spot with falling action where the movie felt like it was wrapping up, but it quickly picked back up, almost like the movie was giving you time to pause and catch your breath before the next adventure.

I do have a few problems with plot points but it could just be stuff that bugs me personally because I am picky about some things in the universe and it kinda seemed like those spots where not really done well plot consistency wise.

 Be forwarned though, one of the light saber fights did get a bit weird to watch (like it bugged my eyes.)  This had to do with camera angles and how they focused on the light sabers.  I think if it had been back a bit instead of focused so closely on the characters it would have taken care of the issue.

Rewatchablity: Not as high as episode 4,5,6, but I do plan on getting this and re-watching it when I can.  I'd like to actually spend a week and watch episodes 1-7 when this gets put out on dvd.
