Finished watching Star Wars: The Force Awakens, directed by J J Abrams and starring Oscar Isaac, Adam Driver, Gwendoline Christie, John Boyega, Daisy Ridley, Harrison Ford, Peter Mayhew and Carrie Fisher. The film opens up with Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac) on a mission for the resistance when he is captured by a fleet of First Order Stormtroopers lead by Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) and Captain Phasma (Gwendoline Christie). While escaping from the First Order Poe and his new accomplice, former Stormtrooper Finn (John Boyega) crash on the planet of Jakku where Finn finds himself alone in the dessert where he finds a scavenger named Rey (Daisy Ridley) who is with BB-8. As the group try to escape from the forces of the First Order they eventually meet with original characters Han Solo (Harrison Ford), Chewbacca (Peter Mayhew) and Leia Organa (Carrie Fisher) on their journey. Overall this was an amazing film as it brings new characters like Finn, Ray and Kilo Ren with classic characters such as Han, Chewbacca and Leia with both sets of characters being brought together very organically. While the character interactions are stellar as Han and Leia's chemistry feels exactly the same from the original trilogy along with the interactions of the new characters work extremely well between each other and with the original characters which leads to the original cast taking up mentor roles for the new cast of heroes. The action is amazing as the choreography of the lightsaber fights are great while the space and sky battles are near breathtaking thanks to the use of many different camera angles from the points of view of a X-Wing pilot to wide shots of the whole battle. The comedy is great as some of the situations characters find themselves in have a few references to previous films in the series. 9/10.
