Film Review: Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2D) (12A) (U.S.A. 2015) (Director: J.J. Abrams), VUE (OMNI), Screen One, Edinburgh, Wednesday 30.12.2015, 19:10

This is excellent fluff. The pacing, visuals and story telling are all fine. The film is slightly too referential to the 'Classic Trilogy' and the actor playing the main baddie doesn't quite fit right. These are minor quibbles. It was lovely to see that, in a way unlike ever before, the new central hero to the Star Wars world is a woman. When she took control of a lightsaber and began behaving as a badass, it got to me. It was certainly far better than I had any right to expect it to be and slips by easily.

Rating: 10/10.
