Movie Review: "Star Wars: The Force Awakens"


Movie Review: "Star Wars: The Force Awakens"

by Wilson Kosasih

"I would watch it again and again." Fans have been waiting for 30 years for a sequel, and JJ Abrams nailed it. The plot is entertaining, you won't know what happen next, each characters are unique, especially the new characters, and the soundtrack, it brings back the memories! And don't worry, this review is a spoiler-free review. Without further a due, let's review this!

30 years after "The Return of Jedi", the Jedis were all slaughtered by the First Order and tries to hunt down the last Jedi, Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill). Meanwhile on Jakku, one of Resistance's pilot, Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac) receive a map regarding Luke's whereabout but Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) discovers them and apprehend Poe. Poe succeeded to hide the map on BB-8. FN-2187 (John Boyega), a Stormtrooper, helps Poe escape from First Order's ship, and Poe then dubs him as "Finn". BB-8 then meets Rey (Daisy Ridley) on Jakku and she helps BB-8 to reach the Resistance. Three of them (Rey, BB-8, Finn) escapes Jakku with Millenium Falcon before Han Solo (Harrison Ford) founds them and helps them to reach the Resistance. And the rest, you have to watch it yourself.


First, i'm going to talk about the plot. The plot's entertaining, full of surprise, and on how JJ Abrams manages to do so, everyone has to give him a credit, The combination of new characters and old ones is making me speechless. And the trailer itself shows nothing about the plot, and it makes everyone goes crazy. But when you watch the full movie, man, i would watch it for countless of time. It is entertaining.

Moving on to the characters, John Boyega and Daisy Ridley, both of them are doing so well, they are important for the movie, and i think without them, this movie won't be this amazing. The original casts are doing good too, Harrison Ford brings balance to the story, BB-8 is adorable (i bet everyone loves him/her personality), and mysteries surrounding the villain, Kylo Ren (Adam Driver). 

Kylo Ren
For those of you who haven't watched the original saga, don't worry. "The Force Awakens" won't make you confused with the story. But, i suggest if you want the full experience, watch the original saga. 

Overall, this is one of the most awaited movie this decade, and you all should watch it. This movie will receive a lot of awards in my opinion this year. Thank you always for your support, feel free to comment, and may the Force be with you!
