This is a very good and positive, yet "SPOILER FREE" review of the movie.

It's long, and you might Think a spoiler or two slips through, but it doesn't.

Going to see it tomorrow night (10:10pm) at a Fantastic DOLBY ATMOS X-Plus theater where Every Seat is a Fully-Reclining Power Leather chair. Can't Wait!!

I can see where he was going with one of his complaints towards the end. Not technically a spoiler, but very strong hints.

I know people are avoiding spoilers, but I'll give away some to those who really want to know.

Be warned, if you click this, it is at your own risk of ruining the movie for yourself. Alright? Good.

[Show spoiler]

Image of Kylo after Battle:
http://i.imgur.com/WP82pOS.jpg

It should be mentioned that Rey becomes a Jedi Force User and is the one who fights Kylo and Cuts his arm off and damages his face. Kylo Ren is Han Solo's Son, but he kills Han with his Saber on Starkiller Base.

We also do see Luke at the end of the movie, but it is brief and he never says a word.


And here is a full detailed description of what happens in the entire movie. (Full plot synopsis).

[Show spoiler]
Opening scene, you see the planet of Jakku, along with tie fighters from the first order.

The famous rebel pilot Poe Daemeron is sitting in a camp, when it is attacked by the first order and a spectacular battle ensues. Poe Daemeron knowing he is about to be captured goes and hides map of where Luke Skywalker is within BB-8.

Finn is among those attacks in a stormtropper outfit. Kylo Ren and his men surround the camp and find Poe Daemeron and demands to know where the map is. Poe Daemeron refuses to divulge the information so Kylo Ren uses the force to put him to sleep. He then orders the rest of the storm troopers to kill everyone in the village. Finn refuses to shoot and has a moment of consciousness.

When he gets back, he has a moment and takes off his helmet. Captain Phasma orders her to put his helmet back on.

We are then introduced to Rey, who is a metal scavenger. She sells the loot she finds for food rations, to a dealer.

We go back to the battleship where Poe Daemeron is kept prisoner by Kylo Ren. Kylo Ren has an ability to read the mind and extracts where Poe Daemeron hid the map. He then talks to the master overlord of the first order and he orders Kylo Ren to find BB-8 and retrieve it.

In the meantime, Rey sees a Teedo, a neighborhood scrapper with BB-8 and frees it. BB-8 decides to follow Rey into town.

Finn frees Poe Daemeron in exchange for Poe Daemeron to fly one of the first orders tie fighters. They break into a tie fighter and attempt to fly away. There is a restraining cable that stops them from doing so and they come under attack. Eventually they get free, but the tie fighter is hit and falls back to the planet and crashes.

Finn wakes up to find Poe gone, and the tie fighter is swallowed up by the sinking sands.

In town the wholesaler offers Finn 60 portions of food for the drone, she declines. The wholesaler orders his men to follow Rey and steal the drone.

There BB-8 recognizes Finn and Rey punches Finn thinking he is a thief. Rey then lies and says that he is member of the resistance. At this point Kylo Ren and his men attack Jakku looking for the drone.

Rey and Finn run to find a ship to escape, but their first choice is destroyed. Instead they commandeer a “junk cargo ship” owned by the wholesaler. They commandeer the ship and fend off tie fighters with a beautiful scenic battle among the ruins and eventually escape into orbit.

There, they get locked down by another ship and get transported into the hanger. Thinking it’s the first order; they turn on poison gas and get ready. We then see Chewbacca and Han Solo with the trademark we’re back.

Finn and Rey meet Han solo, and get to see what BB-8 is carrying, an incomplete map of where Luke Skywalker is. Han tells Fin and Rey that Skywalker started a new academy to start a new Jedi force, but one of his apprentices turned to the dark side, and Skywalker has been missing ever since. While they are talking they are interrupted by members of the Kanjiklub and Guavian Gang who demand repayment. Finn and Rey hide underneath and decide to trap the gang members by shutting the doors down. They push the wrong buttons and as a result trophy beasts that Han Solo has locked up are released and eat members of both gangs alive. One of the beasts grabs a hold of Finn and drags him to be eaten. Rey shuts the door and the beast is trapped, saving Finn’s life.

In the meantime Kylo Ren tells the master overlord that the prisoners have escaped and has a conversation with his grandfather, Darth Vader’s mask.

Chewbacca, Han Solo, Finn, and Rey all head to the Millennium Falcon, where escape and head to a green planet where Han Solo has a person that can help them deliver the map of Luke Skywalker to the resistance forces.

Once there Han offers Finn a job to be his co-pilot, but she declines wishing to go back home.

In the meantime, the first order has their new death star ready and the master overlord fires at a resistance planet, destroying it completely. This new death star draws power from stars and shoots four lasers to completely eliminate planets, and is multiple times bigger than the original death star.

They head to a temple that has a bar inside, similar to the cantina in previous star wars films. There they meet Han’s friend, a short alien creature with glasses and a knack of looking deeply into someone’s eyes.

Once there, they are spotted and both the resistance and the first order know where the drone BB-8 is and send forces to the planet.

Rey hears voices and finds Luke Skywalker’s light saber. However, once she touches to grab it she sees her childhood along with Kylo Ren. She falls down and Han Solo, Chewbacca, Finn, and the contact find her. They tell her to grab the light saber but Ren runs into the woods. The contact then gives the light saber to Finn.

The temple is quickly surrounded and they surrender. But not before Finn kills a storm trooper with a lightsaber, the first time we see it in battle.

Kylo Ren finds Rey and put the light saber to her head. However, the resistance forces are spotted and Kylo Ren uses the force to knock Rey unconscious and takes her aboard his ship. Meanwhile, Finn runs after the fleeing ship and vows to get Rey back.

As the resistance forces land, General Leia appears and engages in banter with Han Solo. They then fly to the resistance base headquarters, filmed in the UK. Here we meet C3-PO and R2D2, who is not active. Leia then asks Finn for his help, and he tells them there’s a weak spot in the new Death Star, but first they need to disable the shields that guard the new Death Star, which is so big it’s within a snowy planet.

As the rebel forces prepare to attack Leia and Solo embrace, and quickly talk about Kylo Ren, their son. Han still believes his son can be saved. Solo, Chewbacca, and Finn take the Millennium Falcon via hyperspace warp drive to avoid detection by the first order. They get out of hyperspace right before hitting the surface and crash land into the snowy planet. Solo asks what Finn did while he was in the first order. He says in sanitation, and Solo gets agitated that Finn lied to the resistance command. Finn says he has an idea.

In the meantime, Rey wakes up from her unconsciousness and sees Kylo Ren. She taunts him and as a result he puts his mask down and reveals his face. He then tries to read her mind like he did with Poe Daemeron. However, she discovers the force and calls him a coward, forcing him back and talk with his master overlord, who orders him to bring her to him.

Meanwhile Chewbacca, Solo, and Finn sneak into the new death star and trap Captain Phasma and compel her to lower the shields of the new death star. The resistance ships then attack, but produce limited damage and are chased back into space by the first order tie fighters.

Rey uses the force to compel a storm trooper to release her from her restraints and leaves the room. Kylo Ren upon returning is furious and vows to find her.

Solo, Chewbacca, and Finn eventually find Rey and they start setting up explosives to damage the new death star and start plotting their escape.

Solo eventually spots Kylo Ren and tries to convince his son to turn away from the dark side. He walks over a bridge inside the death star, unarmed to try and talk him out of the dark side, by saying Ren is just a mere puppet who will be eliminated once the master gets what he wants. Ren turns over his light saber to Solo, but then activates the lightsaber and kills Han Solo, who falls from the bridge.

The rebel forces in the meantime spot the new explosion and start attacking the weak points in the new death star.

Chewy is furious and injured Kylo Ren with a blaster. Rey then leaves the command center and is confronted outside by Kylo Ren, who throws her on a tree. Finn then confronts Kylo Ren using Luke’s light saber and injures Kylo Ren before he gets injured himself. Rey then picks up the light saber using the force and fights Kylo Ren. Kylo Ren then tells Rey to join him, but she fights back and injures him severely.

As the rebel pilots are close to destroying the new death star, the earth below cracks open and separate Kylo Ren and Rey apart.

Rey then takes Finn into the millennium falcon, and the head back to the rebel headquarters where everyone celebrates.

Finn is put under medical care, and R2D2 “wakes up”, allowing BB-8’s map piece of Luke Skywalker to be completed. Rey and Chewbacca then head to an unknown planet filled with seawater and islands to find Luke. She sees Luke Skywalker and holds out his light saber.

The Credits Roll.

I agree. His reviews are 90+% along the likes of mine. Plus, he seems like a nice, down-to-earth kind of guy who doesn't take himself too seriously.

He's my personal favorite as well.

Nobody seems to be jumping out of their seats for this movie, which in a way is good, as it shows people are keeping their fanboy-ism in check, and realizing that no film isn't without it's faults. The main takeaway that I get from most is that it's a return to form from the OT, and easily surpasses the prequels, closely mirroring or being superior to RotJ. And that's all I needed to hear going into the movie on Thursday.

Nah. Though sometimes, I feel like they are threading the same story in some way. Much like Star Trek Into Darkness and Wrath of Khan.

I disagree with the motive. Could just merge the two threads in a few weeks after nearly all of us have seen it.
Alright, then put some temporary spoiler warning on the title until everyone has seen it.

I couldn't believe it when
[Show spoiler]Wedge and Lando showed up out of nowhere
and
[Show spoiler]delivered the knockout punch to Starkiller Base
. The entire theatre went nuts, easily the biggest cheer in the whole movie.

They did a really good job keeping that under wraps even though I always thought that
[Show spoiler]Dennis Lawson and Billy Dee Williams' absence from the cast list was VERY suspicious


8.5/10

Going to see it again this afternoon in 2D since the 3D didn;t impress me much but still a great movie
