chris_gerribSpeaking of great disturbances in the Force, on Friday I took in the new Star Wars movie Rogue One. It's really, really good. It's amazing how one could take a throwaway line from one movie ("Many Bothans died getting us this information" ETA: the Bothans died finding out the second Death Star. I regret the error.) and create this much action.
Like everybody says, this is dark movie, with a fairly dark ending. There were kids in the audience at my showing, but it's not targeted at them at all. It's a straight-up war movie, with the grit and the body-count to go with that.
The visuals were spectacular with two exceptions - the CGI additions of the late Peter Cushing and a young Carrie Fisher. They were both just a bit off visually and in Cushing's case vocally as well. I think I would have skipped Fisher and had Cushing just appear in holograms. Other than that, I really enjoyed the movie.
