The change in cinematic production with "blue screen" processes made this the break from convention that heralded in the new era of movies.
Shame the Cinerama was knocked down. Saw "Raid at Entebbe" there as well.

Ok, back on track - thoroughly enjoyed it. Plenty of questions set up for the next two in the trilogy, of course.

Sadly, they still haven't figured out yet that spaceships in space don't make any sound...

It's augmented reality. Spaceships do have internal speakers and advanced computers / sensor suites, and humans have evolved to rely on our hearing as part of situational awareness. So really, it would make less sense to leave everything silent.

Pfft. It worked for 2001: A Space Odyssey (well, except for the space-borne orchestra playing Strauss).

Nothing 'worked' for that pile of garbage.

Shame to fall short at that hurdle considering all the authentic aliens, lasers and spaceships they use, a long with the fact it is all a true story of course....

Well duh. You can hear them because of the atmosphere they fly around in.

I remember seeing a promo for the original on SpotOn. Really wanted to go but it was like a year away. Or perhaps a galaxy . . . Lined up with the folks at the Cinerama in Wellington to get 20 from the front and see Full House sign.
Those x wing fighters veering into that trench was a life affirming moment.
I figured as long as I am impressed to the same level I was as a young boy seeing the first (4th) one I'd be happy.
Saw it last night. Let the naysayers and dweebs criticise. It was awesome and I loved it.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.

I remember seeing shorts of space ships and two robots. It was like a new world for a young fella.
But take an open mind to be entertained and you'll enjoy it. I want to go again, and I haven't seen a movie twice whilst it was running since I was a teenager.
Don't you look at my accountant.

No. It does not.
It is appalling, cynical, and stupid. It is a gross exploitation of treasured childhood memories. It needs to be burned. WITH FIRE.
I cannot tell you how much I hated this film. Actually, my hatred extends not only to the film (which is BAD) but to everyone associated with it. The people who used to be in it (I am looking at you Carrie Fisher and Harry Ford) are clearly ONLY DOING IT FOR THE MONEY. George Lucas doesnt give a fuck because he made FOUR BILLION DOLLARS when the "property" was sold to the fucking King Rat, Disney.
It is a fucking travesty.
Go to the Warehouse and buy the Bluray of SERENITY for like a tenner and actually get a fim worth seeing. Because this shit is evil and stupid. More relevantly, it is fucking IRRELEVANT. There is no point to any other star wars film other than the first one. Dumbass the first one is the one that was released in 1977 and which George the fucking corporate shill retconned into being "Episode IV". That is fucking Star Wars. There is, I'll admit, some justification for the first trilogy. There is no reason whatever for for the second trilogy. Who THE FUCK cares about Jar Jar and fuckingLiam Neeson and what the fuck is Natalie Portman DOING? and Ewan McGregor? Jesus, just get on a motorbike for fucks sake.
But wait, let me tell you what I really think:

because it is THE SAME FILM as the first one. Just cynically re-jigged so as to appear "new enough". But think about it. IT IS THE SAME STORY. IN THE SAME LOCATION. With the same cardboard cutout characters in the same stupid setups. Fuck, I cannot tell you how tedious that shit is.
I like Daisy Ridley. Mostly because her first name is Daisy, and she can deadlift 80kg. Look that shit up she really can. And John Boyega is great as the TR-8R. Actually thats not fair he is the everyman hero. And he is competent.
But Kylo Ren? a low rent conflicted Darth Vader? Who the fuck cares? the point of a villain is THAT HE IS THE VILLAIN. We dont care about his internal trauma. Just force choke some bitch for fucks sake.
Oh yeah, and the mega weapon? Its the same motherfucker as they had in '77! Christ on a crutch, really?
DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR YOUR MONEY ON THIS PIECE OF STINKING SHIT.

"channellling the Pleideans"
Tsk tsk.
Not an appreciator of art cinema then?
What about the first hour or so with the monkeys?
that was good, right?
