The Force Awakens is the Seventh Star Wars film directed by

J.J. Abrams and stars Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Adam Driver, and
Harrison Ford. The film was mass distributed by the Disney
Corporation and produced by Lucasfilm, being labeled as a Sci-Fi
Action Adventure. I actually own the film and would be glad to
document my opinions and observations just for you.

The Force Awakens is set a full generation after the events

in Return of the Jedi. Rey (Daisy Ridley) is a lonely scavenger
looking for scraps and metals for a living on Jakku. On the other
side of powers, Finn (John Boyega) is a stormtrooper looking to
escape from the First Order with the help of Poe Dameron (Oscar
Isaac). Their fates coerce and try to take on the First Order run
by Kylo Ren (Adam Driver).
Characters in The Force Awakens are mostly good ones. You
can call Rey a Mary Sue, but Daisys performance really makes
up for what could be an underwritten character. The movie has a
lot of characters and is a lot of fun but they dont balance out
easily. Some like Captain Phasma look interesting, but she does
next to nothing in terms of plot and character development. But
overall, most of the performances are great and give the film a
lot of levity, unlike *Cough* Rogue One *Cough*.

There was a lot I liked here. There is a lot of grand set

pieces that really give the film huge scale. Even the visual
effects by ILM looked amazing as well. And overall, The Force
Awakens is a huge amount of fun. The plot is a rehash of A New
Hope, but as they say If it isnt broke, dont fix it, even if
there are elements of Empire thrown in.

Themes of The Force Awakens include Family, Fate, and

Coincidence. Since Rey has the Force, it is only known that she
should discover the full extent of her powers, which is implied
at the end. Family plays a big role in the Star Wars universe.
And this trend continues with Han and Leias son being the leader
of The First Order.
 This film has reached more than a seventh of the world. It
has most certainly found its audiences. General audiences would
like this film. Star Wars fans certainly would. Depending on how
you see the plot, it could go any way.

Overall, I give Star Wars: The Force Awakens a
