[No Spoilers] Don’t waste your money on Star Wars 9
6 years ago
General
the new Star Wars is NOT worth watching. The camera and technical direction of the movie just feels off... they force references and jump between parallel scenes with random shots while also inserting scenes between them... there is no solid flow in this movie.
Feels exactly how Dunkirk used the same direction of confusion, but for that movie it was part of the experience. It makes the audience feel lost and confused as the movie feels the need to bombard you with everything every character from the last two films is doing even if it’s not relevant at all. The CGI feels lifeless and uninspiring... lost in the limitations of the technology.
The first third of the movie makes you question wtf your watching as it flies by random unconnected scenes, the 2/3 makes you think it’s gonna get good and the final third is a massive disappointment of HA... we sUbVerTed YoUr ExPectAtions. All the character development feels forced and fake and doesn’t really contribute to the story as they force-feed you original Star Wars references.
Unless your a huge Star Wars fan, don’t waste your money on this film.
EDIT: some people actually blocked me over this journal, I’m not trying to be antagonistic or anything. It was a problem with Abrams more than Star Wars. It’s hard to give the full picture of why I disliked it without spoilers; just know I didn’t HATE it, it was just a disappointment.

Rogue One and Solo weren’t actually that bad in honesty.
Even ignoring the star wars setting and label, it's so poorly written and filmed.
Though I enjoyed watching it, I can see why people dislike it.
Star Wars 9 is the most Flash Gordon of all the SW movies, that's the way I would describe it. If you don't know what I mean, watch this:
