ROGUE ONE A STAR WARS STORY IMDB MOVIE

'Rogue One' similarly boasts a rousing, sometimes dream-like and atmospheric score from the always dependable Michael Giacchino, one misses John Williams of course and having a different composer takes some getting used to for someone who grew up with Williams' iconic themes, but Giacchino is a worthy replacement. It's wonderfully shot too, the cinematography being some of the most memorable and beautifully composed and transitioned of the year. Particularly good are the special effects, which are not only of outstanding and astonishingly real quality but actually drive and enhance the story and helps provide some great visual story-telling. For one thing, the production values (with a couple of exceptions) are amazing. 'Rogue One' has so many good things, even if the film didn't do much for me it would have gotten a 4/10 at least. With this being said, 'Rogue One' is going to be reviewed as if considered a standalone chapter. 'Rogue One' is not as good as the original trilogy, not being as much as a genre landmark or as influential but is certainly better than any of the prequel trilogy films combined and along with 'The Force Awakens' one of the better 'Star Wars' films since 'The Return of the Jedi'. The latest 'Star Wars' entry, which is somewhat of a prequel, 'Rogue One' is a worthy prequel but seems to be intended as a standalone chapter and it actually fares even better in this regard. Personally actually loved 'The Force Awakens', despite the vitriolic hate it's got. Didn't think the prequel films were that bad personally, but they had a lot wrong with them and were a long way from great, especially 'Attack of the Clones'. Especially 'Empire Strikes Back' while considering 'A New Hope' a genre landmark. Loved the original 'Star Wars' films as a kid, still do. I might be inclined to say more, but there are already a bazillion reviews for this blockbuster.so I'll end it here. My only gripe is that you KNOW what will happen because it is a gap-filler and the audiences already know what must happen in the next film.

Overall, it's a well made film with a lot to recommend it. I really appreciate this- and thank God there is no Jar-Jar!! Additionally, unlike the previous films this one is a downer with an ending where pert near everyone dies! I mention this because I would NOT advise folks with very young kids to bring them to see it. Aside from a tiny appearance by R2D2 and C3PO, the characters, including the droid, are not designed with cuteness and marketability towards children in mind.

Instead of recapitulating the plot, I'll just say what makes this movie different from most Star Wars films. Think about it.they COULD start making new films starring Clark Gable with Jennifer Lawrence or The Three Stooges and John Gielgud using CG- it's getting THAT good! As for the movie, it's NOT as wonderful and perfect as many of my friends have said nor is it a bad film in any way.

Now I pray that this sort of thing does not become the norm. So instead of re-casting him, they did something that only modern technology could allow them to do-create a CG Tarkin that actually looks and sounds like Cushing!! It really is amazing and lifelike and for this reason alone, it's worth seeing the film. 'Rogue One' is set in the Star Wars world just before 'Star Wars' and the studio decided to have Tarkin as one of the major characters, even though Cushing died in 1994. Back in 1977, Peter Cushing starred as Grand Moff Tarkin in the original 'Star Wars' movie.
