JJ Abrams proves the certain choice for a cult – The Nacional.com

As in 1977, a robot returns to have a great responsibility. It is BB-8, who entrusted the mission of protecting an important message for the Rebellion in Star Wars: The Awakening of force , the movie that JJ Abrams able to maintain the anger and loyalty thousands of fans of the series initiated by George Lucas.

There are similarities with the past. The Empire is now called First Order and in the opening scenes must avoid the compromising material reaches the base of the rebels. Although there are parallels, just excited about the struggle of a small fleet led by Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac) extraordinary weapons against those who seek to nullify the Republic. Although there are formulas that are repeated, the seventh installment of the franchise does not disappoint with its wealth of action and excitement. Highlights surprises, and new family ties with those who succumbed to the dark side of the Force. The shock of the reunions between those who decline were separated by betrayal.

Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) is the villain emerging with a noble origin but with intentions distorted yet to be explained. However, his insecurity by now does more ruthless than Darth Vader, whose footsteps in the dark is determined to follow. You’ve yet to learn, but its power is intimidating at times it becomes to believe that the Jedi and the Force are a myth. Accountable to Snoke, called the Supreme Leader (Andy Serkis)

The script for Star Wars:. The awakening of force was written by Abrams, Michael Arndt ( The Hunger Games: Catching Fire , Toy Story 3 ) and Lawrence Kasdan, who did the same in The Empire Strikes and The Return of the Jedi . This time achieve a production that is equated with any of the first trilogy. Fans who will choose which one exceeded. On the Internet there are those who say it is better than the Episode VI .

The filmmaker is not new to the space coordinates. In 2009 he revitalized the franchise Star Trek . This imprinting Lucas films in the director of 49 years shows. Respect care codes world with suspicion by those who grew up with ribbons and attentive to any new element to consider this cultural universe discord and entertainment emporium generations. Abrams subtly puts his stamp on one of the most committed way in recent years in the history of cinema. Surely his cinematography charged more space saga when you feel more confident.

Of the new characters, plus Poe Dameron, stands King, played by a convincing Daisy Ridley, who He leads behind the mystery of his true self. John Boyega is decent in his portrayal of Finn, the stormtrooper who defected. However, often it falls into exaggeration in a film that yesterday raised $ 14.1 million in countries like Chile, Mexico, France, Italy and Belgium.

Music John Williams accompanied by relevance moments of history, which was also highlighted by notes sent by Gustavo Dudamel, a guest in the episode that opens today and will leave looking forward to the earnest, beginning with the mystery around Luke Skywalker ( Mark Hamill). Carrie Fisher and Harrison Ford and maintain tension on-screen chemistry.

Reviews

HOME

“And most of the film, for many it is also a religion or most beloved myth. It is not my case. I had fun enough with it at first (…) I’ve kept moderately with this amphetamine circus. Wishing that lasted a little less. They are my tastes. But I understand that for many viewers this film regale them ecstasy. And it’s great that the film on the big screen in the dark, in three spectacular dimensions, still enjoy a massive and enthusiastic audience at times to predict its final agony “

Carlos Boyero

The Guardian

“The Force reawakened my love for the first film and externalized my inner fanaticism for the film. There are very few films that left me exhausted after smiling face for 135 minutes, and this is one of them. When I saw on the screen to Han Solo and Chewie, I had a feeling not felt since I was 16 years old. I did not know if mourn or burst into applause (…) It’s ridiculous, melodramatic and sentimental, of course, but exciting and energetic. A great Christmas “

Peter Bradshaw

THE NEW YORK TIMES

“J. J. Abrams, the director of Star Wars: The Awakening of force can not have the makings of a god or an empire builder as George Lucas, but it turns out you need this stagnant franchise: a true fan of the series and pop culture wise (…)

It is no surprise that the father issues have made a comeback in this film, which folds into a father and son schism evoking between Luke and Darth Vader. Still, the most interesting Oedipal struggle can be between Mr. Lucas and his film children, starting with Mr. Abrams “.

Manohla Dargis

VARIETY

“J. J. Abrams seems to have had the original three films firmly in mind when he embarked on this new monumental task (…) At the risk of heresy, it is worth noting that Abrams did actually work smarter and more inventive in their version 2009 Star Trek. Of course, in part it was because he worked with a franchise less guarded than Star Wars , a sacrosanct institution that resists any attempt to reinvent its landscape aggressive or imaginative way, though it may be detrimental to this first effort if you come to divert “.
