Early trailers for "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story" promised a work in the vein of "The Bridge on the River Kwai," "The Magnificent Seven" and "The Dirty Dozen"—impossible mission movies that weren't afraid to kill off the vivid characters they created.

The thing that has always made George Lucas’ “Galaxy Far Far Away” so unique is its richness. Every character, every planet, every plot point and technical spec seems to have been considered.

Felicity Jones’s fugitive, hunting for the plans to the Death Star, is a tousled-but-game female lead – just one of many classic Star Wars motifs in Gareth Edwards’ exhilarating spin-off.

2947d ago

Rogue One is an adventure to Star Wars’ dark side.

2947d ago

The film soars when it abandons all pretense of being a space opera, and fully embraces the bombastic modern action movie that’s at its core, giving it a unique identity that does indeed stand apart from other entries in the series.

An old war tale told around a spectacular campfire.

Ultimately, the crux of “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story,” a stand-alone movie that allows for risk, is sacrifice and duty (and to that end, as a franchise film, much of the finale is bold).

2947d ago

The first 'Star Wars' stand-alone movie, directed by Gareth Edwards and starring Felicity Jones, takes place before the events of the original 1977 'Star Wars.'

2947d ago

There are whispers throughout the galaxy of a new Imperial super-weapon, powerful enough to crush the Rebellion. Will a ramshackle platoon led by reckless ex-con Jyn Erso (Jones), the daughter of the technological terror’s creator, be able to track down its schematics and save countless lives?

“Rogue One” is definitive proof: “Star Wars” is back, baby. Much like last year’s “The Force Awakens,” it rights so many wrongs perpetrated by that loathsome trio of films from the late ’90s/early aughts. Despite being merely “A Star Wars Story,” which makes it sound flimsy and fan-fictiony, this is a worthy entry in the franchise, from its formidable heroine (Felicity Jones) to its canny blend of innovation and nostalgia, of human-scale drama and judicious special effects.

2947d ago

“Rogue One: A Star Wars Story,” the tale of a controversial Death Star and those who loathe it, operates as a prequel to the 1977 movie that became a flexible, malleable religion (with ray guns!) to millions. The new movie is a little bit “Guardians of the Galaxy,” a little bit “Dirty Dozen” in its mass wartime slaughter, and a pretty good time once it gets going.

'Godzilla' director Gareth Edwards makes the first 'Star Wars' movie targeted directly at adult fans of the original, a gritty war movie with few kid-friendly ingredients.

2947d ago

A little of the mainstay Star Wars stuff is fine, but for crying out loud, please invent new spaceships and aliens and planets and characters who can both stand on their own and aren’t variations on what already exists. It’s possible. It’s been done before. They called it Star Wars.

Rogue One makes up for a shaky first act by punching into overdrive for an outstanding third act battle sequence that overwhelms in scale and intensity.

2947d ago

I had a bad feeling about this, the first stand-alone spinoff of George Lucas’ revered Star Wars saga, but it turned out it was just something I ate. Because Rogue One kicks ass in all the right ways. Like an Imperial Star Destroyer, it starts off slow and somewhat clunky, but by the time the mind-blowing third act arrives, it’s all a fan can do not to stand up and cheer.

Too often, “Rogue One” seems to be checking boxes as it goes about its plotty business, which ultimately has to do with the retrieval of documents, the closing of a shield gate and locating the master switch on a communications control tower.

Rogue One at least creates its own character dynamics and plot routes rather than coasts on existing ones.

The first thing to say about Rogue One is that it might be the most visually splendid Star Wars movie to date — with its mist-covered mountains, its tsunamis of dust and fire, its X-wing fighters blazing through rainswept nights.
