The region free disc loads & plays fine on my Panasonic player, through a mid-level Sony amp, into a 55' 4K Vizio OLED TV. Pitching for the good guys is Oscar-winning Lupita Nyong’o, who shines as 1,000-year-old Maz Kanata, who runs a rowdy establishment strongly reminiscent of the first film’s Mos Eisley Cantina. But the pacing is awful, the slapstick humor is mostly misplaced, the introduction of the leading actors suffers from very bad timing. Film Review: ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ J. Star Wars: The Force Awakens Blu-ray 2015 Region Free: Hey, I watched this movie in 1977 except the main character was male and he had TWO side kick droids. On the dark side, the great Andy Serkis gives us a sense of what thinking outside the box visually looks like with First Order top dog Supreme Leader Snoke. They get separated, and Finn runs into the brightest of the film’s new cast members, young British actress Daisy Ridley, who plays a Jakku scavenger named Rey.įor if Isaac, perfectly cast in the Coen Brothers’ “Inside Llewyn Davis,” has too sour a persona here, and if Boyega frankly seems out of his depth, Ridley’s spunky daredevil presence is exactly what the part calls for.Īlso inspired are a pair of motion-capture performances. Both men return to Jakku so Poe can retrieve the device. The Force Awakens is a focus-grouped, market researched, PRODUCT that reeks of corporate control. Helping Poe escape from the evildoers, including Domhnall Gleeson’s General Hux, is Finn (John Boyega of “Attack the Block”), a former Stormtrooper who has had enough of the First Order ordering him around.

The evil Empire has been replaced by the even more evil First Order, the Republic continues to fight the good fight, and everyone wonders where Luke Skywalker has been hiding for all these years. Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens is a 2016 Lego-themed action-adventure game developed by TT Fusion.It is the fifth entry in TT Games Lego Star Wars series of video games and adapts the events of the 2015 film Star Wars: The Force Awakens.Under license from Lucasfilm, the game was released by Warner Bros.
“The Force Awakens” begins with that familiar crawl placing events “a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away,” followed by even more words bringing us up to speed. Until he checks in midway through the film, appropriately craggy and battle weary, and elevates everyone’s game, the pickings are slim. What this meant in practice is an overcomplicated plot and characters that carefully echo the first three “Star Wars” movies, sometimes in the look and style of particular individuals, and sometimes, at its most forced, in positing actual blood relationships between young and old.Īt its best, however, “The Force Awakens” basks in the presence of an altogether splendid Harrison Ford who, unlike original costars Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill, has a full-fledged, rip-roaring leading role rather than a cameo.
