The Force Awakens - possible spoilers

Re: The Force Awakens

I have not seen any of the series, well, some bits, but never as much as half a film on tv, so I doubt I'll bother!
 
Re: The Force Awakens

It was SUPERB.

I would say it’s an almost perfect mix of nostalgia, new characters, good, evil and humour. The good characters are flawed, the bad characters aren’t just ashen faced and pious.

The effects are never overblown because they can, either. Obviously things like the space scenes look superb but they haven’t filled it full of obvious CGI because they can… but then Industrial Light and Magic are top drawer.

Are there plot holes? Why yes, there are. It’s Star Wars – it’s not trying to be scientifically accurate and certain events happen that could have been done a much simpler way. But such is the nature of space operas!

Would agree with that. I think they could have drawn out some of the bombshells over to the next instalment to really give it the "Gasp" effect, but I'm nitpicking really. It was everything the prequels should have been and a whole lot more.

I've just created another thread on another forum I post on so we can talk about it! I'm not waiting that long to talk about it!

Hoping to see it early next week. Is it worth it in 3D???

Ordinarily I'd say no, and the projection on our showing wasn't set up properly so some scenes weren't quite in focus, but with all that being said, it was one of the better uses of 3D I've seen...Just gave the film really good depth, especially the space scenes.

On the whole that cinematography was absolutely stunning!

i hope it is as my boy is taking me to see it in 3D ,if the quality of 3D is as good as when i saw avatar then i cant wait.

It's not as good as either Avatar or Prometheus, but they were both so intensely geared towards that anyway.

The 3D was non-intrusive in a good way. Nothing stood out as being absolutely crazily good for it but it added depth and clarity.

Good news. Last 3D I saw was Thor and that was waaaaaaaaaaay OTT on the 3D stuff.
 
Re: The Force Awakens

I have been told that I am going to watch it wed. I have only seen one and it didn't float my boat.
 
I don't do 3D; messes with eyes too much and I get quite nauseous! Went to watch it tonight in 2D and was blown away. Honestly one of the best films I've ever seen in the cinema. Fantastic.
