Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

We all know how this story is going to end. But that is not the point. It is the journey that really matters.

Star Wars has been a part of my life since as far back as I can remember. And this movie did not disappoint story-wise.

I highly recommend seeing this movie in the theater.

This movie kept the dirty aesthetics from A New Hope. The special effects were overall good. But. I do want to get my only real negative out of the way. There are 2 CGI human characters in the movie that totally take you out of it. One is only shown at the end. We did not need to see that characters face to know who it was. But the other character is in a large part of the movie. Every time I saw this character’s face, it completely removed me from the movie. This role could easily have been recast. The de-aging effect performed on Michael Douglas for Ant-Man was way more believable than the work on this character.

Okay. Negatives done. Back to gushing about the movie.
