I liked it, they kept the action going at the expense of too much exposition. The storyline was the standard Star Wars formula but the CGI was outstanding, and the ability to bring Peter Cushing and --sadly-- Carrie Fisher back to life was astounding. It wasn't enough to fool the eye, but damn... it was pretty close.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

Yeah I wondered how they would do tarkin (he has to be in this film) I figured it would be CGI of some sort but yeah wasn't expecting it to be that good

No God, No fear.

But, the recency-effect prevailed, and the cool ending made-up for it! I am a bit of a romantic, and so, seeing the heroine and hero die in each others arms was touching. The line directed at them, "May the force be with you..." certainly appealed to the many theists in the audience! As an atheist, it was touching enough to see them die together in a warm embrace. This is one reason why I prefer Star Trek over Star Wars, as the latter has too much "woo-woo" in it. In my OP, I did try to "warn" everyone that there may be spoilers in this thread! Still, knowing the end will not spoil the movie, not at all. In fact, I am going to watch it a second and final time when it comes over to Amazon video in two or three years. |
