However, although it only lags a couple brief moments during its 132 minutes, the movie sometimes could use a little bit better dialogue (especially during the second half) and a stronger, slightly more satisfying redemptive climax, which is always the key to making a really great movie.Ībove all, though, the movie’s biggest problem has nothing to do with bad storytelling or bad filmmaking, or even a better climax. It also has some strong moral content, redemptive moments and pro-family sentiments. STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS is the best, most exciting, and best written, directed and acted STAR WARS movie since the first trilogy, probably since THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK. (PaPaPa, FRFR, O, Ro, BB, C, ACAC, L, VV, A, M) Strong pagan, somewhat mixed, worldview with New Age monism regarding the impersonal and all-encompassing Force, (including confusing talk about restoring “balance” to the Force although it’s clear that the “good side” of the Force must overcome and perhaps even destroy the “dark side” of the Force), characters use the occult power of the Force to control minds and move objects and people without physically touching them, some pagan mysticism includes mystical visions, but mitigated by strong moral elements and some redemptive elements including strong anti-totalitarian message, villains try to control people and make them conform, but one character resists, doing the right thing is explicitly extolled, strong pro-family sentiments expressed, and sacrifice and repentance promoted two “h” obscenities strong, exciting action violence includes explosions, laser gunfights, lightsaber battles, people killed, spaceships flying about and chasing one another, fighting, character thrown against tree, characters wounded, large monsters attack people, brief images of blood, and character apparently has been beaten up, and villain tries to torture characters to talk no sexual content, but some implied romance and hugs no nudity implied alcohol use no smoking or drugs and, brief lying but exposed and lead villain gets uncontrollably angry when things don’t go his way.
Parents please teach your children to be media wise.
So, MOVIEGUIDE® advises strong or extreme caution for THE FORCE AWAKENS. However, the movie’s pagan, somewhat mixed worldview contains some New Age mysticism and a renewed, rather contradictory, monistic take on the Force and the morality behind it. It’s exciting, emotional and well made, with standout performances by Harrison Ford and newcomer Daisy Ridley.
STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS is the STAR WARS movie that fans and moviegoers have been longing to see. Han Solo and Chewbacca team up with a repentant storm trooper and a female scavenger to get the map to Leia and her resistance fighters. The republic needs Luke to train new Jedi knights to save the galaxy. General Leia Organa has sent her best pilot to obtain a map revealing the whereabouts of her brother, Luke Skywalker, who disappeared years ago. A new group of bad guys called the First Order is threatening the new republic. STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS combines old familiar faces with new ones.
