Mini review with no spoilers.
I left the theater very happy. I enjoyed the story for the most part. Mostly I enjoyed that it never really bogged down. I stayed interested the whole time.
I thought the movie was visually stunning. The battle scenes were were great.
JJ Abrams created a movie that has the look and feel of the original trilogy, and that makes me hate the prequels even more.
If I have a complaint or two, it's that it lacked some originality. It seemed like the original story just being retold after switching a few characters around.
Due to the lack of originality, I felt I saw the film's watershed moment coming a mile away. Or maybe I'm Force sensitive?
I also have a problem with how many questions they left open.
I understand that they want you to go see the sequels, but they literally give you nothing. No backstories, no insights, even no names.
All in all, I enjoyed myself, and it's likely that I'll be going back to see it again.
