Ya, I think it's fair to have a cutoff now that the movie has been out for a few days. Maybe Grover can edit the thread title (though it looks like he hasn't been around for a while).

I'd say Monday would be more fair. It's only been out since Thursday.

Saw it today with my family. I was shocked at how empty the theater was (there were only about 15 people at our showing).

I'd still give IMAX 3D a try, but RealD 3D is pure garbage, and it was utterly a waste on this film. Last edited by kcchief19 : 12-19-2015 at 09:40 PM. |

Didn't blow me away. Had some moments and was a nice big screen movie but I think that made it seem better than it was. Don't take this as me saying that I disliked it because I did enjoy the movie, but by no stretch of the imagination did I love the movie.

Saw it with my six year-old this morning and we both had a great time. That fact alone is super cool. Definitely better than all of the prequels. I'd put it behind Empire and in similar territory to A New Hope.
(Jedi is too hard for me to rank because as a kid I absolutely loved it but as an adult so much of it doesn't hold up. And yet all the scenes with Luke, Vader, and the Emperor are still some of the best from any of the movies.)

The Force Awakens would probably rank third for me behind Empire... and A New Hope.

Liked it. Felt like it could have been a lot better.

I'm holding out hope that she isn't, but I too kind of feel like that's what's going on.
this one I will spoil

Saw it this morning. Had heard from friends that it was good, but was too heavily borrowing from the previous story. That is an accurate and valid complaint, but I didn't care. I loved every minute of it.

That's exactly what happened. They just didn't tell us how it happened yet.

It does make we wonder how many movies Disney will make. Will we be getting a new numbered movie every year from now on beyond 7-9? Will we be watching episode 14 in 2029?

I'll be fine if they pull the curtain on the Skywalker family saga with Episode IX.

I read that the Actress was pretty bad at the motion capture stuff and they ended up trimming Maz's role considerably. I figure Maz getting the ********* would be a good side story if they elect to go in that direction. Thus far I think the schedule is Rogue One-next Xmas Episode 8 May of 2017 Han Solo Movie-2017-2018 Episode 9 May of 2019 Plus there's talk of a Yoda movie, perhaps a darth vader movie, and numerous other characters that could be used(darth Maul, Boba Fett, the Wookies) |

Agreed. If they are like this one, bring them on! It'll be interesting how they redo some stories now that a lot of things are non-canon. Boba Fett is one I'd like to see more on. Of course, I always thought a movie about KOTOR would have been spectacular. |

Coulda sworn they already had a Boba Fett one in pre-production, too, although I am being too lazy right now to look it up.

Has anyone seen this in 3D? I imagine you can't take off the glasses and watch it regularly if you get tired of it? We have a sitter tomorrow night and it's either go the dine-in movie theater (Buckhead fork and spoon) for a regular show, or hit up Phipps for a 3D show. I've never seen a movie in 3D in the theater, so I have no idea what to expect. It seems as though all the standard times are sold out, but the 3D have seats available (maybe because there are more of them). A lot of the online reviews say the fork and spoon is not the best experience, the lights have to stay partially on and it can get loud with people eating.

I think there are different types of 3D...IMAX 3D is one thing but then theaters have "regular" 3D showings that are more simple, for lack of a better word. I prefer normal 2D showings above those but you definitely don't want to take the glasses off for a prolonged period of time in any 3D show, I'd assume. |

Here's the weird thing that happened to me: we supposedly saw the 3D version (paid for the 3d version, went into a room clearly marked 3d). Everyone else in the theater had the 3d glasses on throughout the movie. But I swear the movie wasn't in 3D. I took my glasses off early on during the movie because it was clearer without them and just watched the movie normally.

Regular 3D seems to vary in quality by screen. IMAX 3D is the way to go, and just anecdotally, I've heard that version of Star Wars is well-done and not overly ridiculous with the visuals.

I generally avoid 3D and Imax, as I dislike both of them. First time I saw Star Wars was 2D and from a good viewing spot. Second time, it was Imax 3D from too close and over to the side. Definitely better in 2D, although this was probably the least annoying 3D movie I've seen since Avatar.

Ugh, not me. I have long since had Marvel movie fatigue (I haven't seen Thor 2, Avengers 2, Ant-Man and don't care that I missed any of them), I don't want Star Wars fatigue (as I like SW far better than the Marvel movies).

I feel the same way about Marvel. I hope I don't get that feeling about Star Wars. But with that being said I hope we don't have to wait 10-15 years between trilogies (assuming they don't abandon the trilogy model).

I have nothing useful to add, other than I went at 9 PM last night and there were maybe 15 empty seats in the theater.
I'm torn on Adam Driver. I both liked his portrayal, and didn't for pretty much the same reasons. He essentially did the whiny, Hayden Christiansen thing, but he seemed to elevate it so that it worked, but still seemed kind of annoying. Also, I'm not sure his line delivery works well for something like Star Wars. His speech pattern is a bit too rapid fire and works much better in indie movies... but I still really liked it/hated it while it was going on. |

All of the Marvel movies are basically the same. I'm excited that we'll get all kinds of movies about different places in the star wars trilogy. The casting for Rogue One looks great and it should be an exciting story. |

I'm with you 100% on Driver. I think the fact that he annoyed us means he's actually nailing it as a character. This is essentially the performance Anakin Skywalker deserved in the prequels (I think someone may have mentioned that up thread). Then again, based upon the thematic circumstances, Kylo has much better reason to be the angsty teen. I really liked the description he gave of being "seduced" by the light side of the force. Interesting to coach it in those terms, and it makes me wonder if moving forward we're going to see a bit of a step back from the stark black and white nature of light side versus dark side. |

Yeah Driver was a gigantic disappointment for me and my girlfriend. Once he took the mask off I was like what is Andrew Lloyd Webers son in this. Maybe if they didn't so quickly reveal his face it might of kept him menacing. I hope he gets all Dark Force going forward. Last edited by Galaril : 12-21-2015 at 10:03 PM. |
