Could ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ be an Oscar contender?

Star Wars: The Force Awakens may have bowed in theaters to thunderous praise, rapturous Rotten Tomatoes scores (presently: 95 percent), and box office-crushing receipts, but that does not mean that everyone necessarily enjoyed the J.J. But for those who consider themselves seasoned scholars of the Force, a new video courtesy of Mr. Sunday Movies is here to burrow deeper into the deep well of callbacks and franchise mythology in ‘Episode VII’.

‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ surpasses 0 million globally after huge opening
Soon to begin was a screening of the film for families who have lost a relative to combat or service-related injuries. In New York , some of the city’s larger theaters were playing the film every hour, beginning at 6:00 am.

The Force Awakens successfully carried on the mythology, the look and feel of what we love about Star Wars. All those repeat viewings also add to the value of the Star Wars franchise: “The more you watch a movie, the more it sticks with you”.

The stakes are high for Johnson, best known for writing and directing “Looper”, after Abrams’ film earned 8 million worldwide at the box office in its record-shattering debut. We believe revenues of this division will grow from around $4.75 billion in 2015 to almost $8 billion by the end of our forecast period, driven primarily by sales in its newly opened Shanghai store, Playmation toy series and Star Wars merchandise. Before the shooting of Star Wars, she only had two weeks of experience on set before this movie, but she just took her audience by surprise by simply becoming and took the essence of being Rey into a believable character.

The trio are all hovering inside the space station as they deliver their message, and end it with something rather spectacular. Kopra arrived at the space station less than a week ago; this is the second spacewalk of his career.

Another character that took the scenes was John Boyega as Finn who was a stormtrooper from the newly created First Order who realized he can’t murder innocent people.

Han Solo dies. Yep, he’s killed by his son, Kylo Ren. J.J. rightly asked, ‘What is Han doing in this movie?’ If we’re not going to have something important and irreversible happen to him, then he kind of feels like luggage.

The L’Osservatore Romano review also laments too many close-ups, and even faults the “much-publicized” return to in-camera effects, saying they are “often anonymous and lacking in dramatic value”.

“I roughly know the story plot but I have never seen any of the films in the series before”, admitted Yao Yiyun, 22, a computer programming student in Shanghai. Can’t wait to see more interactions between BB8 and R2 in future sequels. It will be very interesting to see where Ren ranks in the Star Wars villain hierarchy by the time the new trilogy is complete, but he’s off to a great start.
