The Last Jedi, arguably the most highly anticipated film of the year, hit theatres yesterday, Friday 15 December.
THE LAST JEDI HAS ARRIVED
The blockbuster is a rollercoaster of emotions from start to finish and certainly does not disappoint. The movie has been labeled as gripping and exciting, yet funny and witty at the same time; jam-packed with everything a good Star Wars film should be. The Guardian sums it up best:
“An old hope. A new realism. An old anxiety. A new feeling that the Force might be used to channel erotic telepathy, and long-distance evil seduction. The excitingly and gigantically proportioned eighth film in the great Star Wars saga offers all of these, as well as colossal confrontations, towering indecisions and teetering temptations, spectacular immolations, huge military engagements, and very small disappointments.”
The Last Jedi, Episode VIII in the series, picks up where The Force Awakens (2015) left off, with Rey finally reaching the island of Ahch-To, where Luke Skywalker currently in a self-imposed exile. The film reunites the protagonists of Episode VII’s The Force Awakens, Finn and Rey, and the reformed Stormtrooper and Jedi-in-training also reunite with the menacing Kylo Ren.
There is powerful character development throughout the film and breathtaking CGI effects that Disney has become known for. The parallel plot about the Resistance’s military strategy is slightly less engaging and often distracts from the main plot, however, overall the film is an undeniable success. There are several new actors, including Kelly Marie Tran who, Deadline commented in their review, gives a very convincing performance as Rose Tico, a Resistance soldier.
