He’s still feeling like he’s being pulled towards the light and he prays to a Darth Vader helmet to keep him on what he perceives to be the right track, but he’s also kind of scared and inexperienced. It’s even mentioned in the opening title crawl and you see how good he is multiple times. In this case it’s Poe being the Resistance’s best pilot. And it’s always great when after hearing a character is really talented at something, you actually see them do it. It’s fun to see Finn and Rey or Finn and Poe work together to take down the bad guys. The aerial battles between the Millennium Flacon and TIE Fighters or between X-Wings and TIE Fighters are almost awe-inspiring to watch. The sound effects, the way things are shot, along with the score makes it all come together into these wonderful fun sequences.
The action in The Force Awakens is exciting and fun. Finn is the first person who ever came back for Rey, while for Finn, Rey is someone who makes him want to be brave. It’s when the two of them start letting the other in that they relationship goes from annoying siblings to firm friends. For Finn it’s his past while for Rey it’s the future and the unknown. With Rey and Finn, it takes them longer to really trust and understand one another, with each of them running away from different things. The immediate chemistry between Isaac and Boyega is palpable and how Poe and Finn meet and immediately put their lives in each other’s hands make their relationship so strong. The new trio of heroes Rey, Finn and Poe are all wonderful. It gives space for the original characters who everyone knows to be a part of this story, while also introducing us to new heroes and villains. The Force Awakens juggles the old and the new really well.
Still, I was blown away by the spectacle, the magic and the characters in this story that simultaneously felt new and exciting, and comforting because of how familiar the themes and the score were – because even if you’re not a huge Star Wars fan, some of those motifs are a part of popular culture. I didn’t grow up watching Star Wars (I first watched all previous six films when I was at university) so there wasn’t the nostalgia or added fear and excitement that came with seeing a new Star Wars film when I went to see The Force Awakens. After meeting Resistance pilot Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac), defector Stormtrooper Finn (John Boyega) gets caught up in the fight against the First Order along with scavenger Rey (Daisy Ridley) and they struggle to find the Resistance and help in the search for the missing Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill). Three decades after the Empire’s defeat, a new evil threatens the galaxy – the First Order led by Kylo Ren (Adam Driver). As a good chunk of time has passed and I’m rewatching the sequel films on the run up to The Rise of Skywalker’s release, there may be more spoilers here than in a normal review – you’ve been warned.

And to prep for the weekend, AMC employees watched a special training video that outlined how to "just be cheerful with the guests, make sure they're safe and have fun." It was not Star Wars-themed.I reviewed The Force Awakens when it was released. There's a strict no blasters, no masks, and no face paint policy for anyone planning on dressing up. Nope, instead they expect about 8,000-10,000 people through the doors for the opening. Will anyone be showing up to see Hunger Games or Heart of the Sea tonight? Star Wars: The Force Awakens will be playing nonstop on 20 of the theater's 25 screens. there are already people in the theater dressed up watching the AMC's marathon of the entire Star Wars catalog. So, they've been telling people to just come back. "There have been so many bomb threats on 42nd in the past we can't have people waiting outside," he said. With about nine hours until the first showing, Diaz said there isn't anyone camped outside, because the businesses in Times Square made them leave. They typically hire a handful of seasonal helpers, but this year, Diaz estimated they hired around 60 extra people.ĭiaz–a cheerful guy on the phone for having finished a 10-hour overnight shift at a movie theater–was frank about his work schedule this weekend: "It's going to be crazy."
on Wednesday, the AMC in Times Square will remain open 24 hours a day until about 6 a.m. The first showings of the movie are at 7 p.m. If you haven't heard yet, Star Wars opens this weekend–tonight, actually. "And I'm looking at 60 hours this weekend." "I'm just getting off a 10 hour shift," manager Jorge Diaz said. Nope-they had already been open for 24 hours when I called. Thinking the theater opened at 10 a.m., I called the AMC in Times Square a couple hours ago to see what their plan was for tonight.
