The Force Awakens

So I saw the new Star Wars movie, thought I'd give my reactions. Reasonably SPOILER-FREE this time. Maybe I'll do more spoilery reactions later.

Thoughts under the cut... )

This was a particularly interesting review to read, because you seem to like and dislike many of the same things I did, but come out with a much more positive impression.

The starship graveyard moment was actually my favourite sequence in the entire movie. I thought that did a brilliant job of continuing the story we already knew and creating a new one, and it was visually stunning.

You know, it was actually percolating in the back of my head for days before I realized that the starship graveyard was probably meant to create the feeling that time had passed since the originals. I didn't get that as I was watching because it felt so in keeping with the original trilogy's aesthetic and worldbuilding sensibility.

I should still do my take with spoilers...
