This was a good movie. No question there. It looked awesome, the 3D worked really well, the special effects where fantastic. The story on the other hand ...
The Dark Side is back, and after training Jedi for some time, Luke Skywalker just walked away, never to be seen again. The rebels try to find him again, get him back and have him train Jedi again.
I read a short review calling this "Fan Service - The movie" and that's spot on. There are too many scenes that took me out of the world because I knew exactly why it was there.
At one scene, we walk into a pub or whatever and it's just like the cantina scene, even with a similar looking band playing music. When the characters went into that, all I could think of "Oh hey, a throwback to the old movies". Sadly, that wasn't the only time that thought popped into my head.
Slight spoilers: The Dark side built ANOTHER Death star ... guess third time's the charm, right? But they made it bigger, so that's great.
This sounds like I hated it, which I did not. Those are just a few things that bugged me. All in all it was a great movie, just less epic than I hoped.
I'm still rating this movie 4 out of 5 stars and a like for sure.
Oh also, I saw it in IMAX, my first time in IMAX. All I can say is WOW. IMAX is awesome.
