The Force Awakens
So I saw the new Star Wars movie, thought I'd give my reactions. Reasonably SPOILER-FREE this time. Maybe I'll do more spoilery reactions later.
( Thoughts under the cut... )
Oh, and I made a note to myself in the trailers that the Warcraft movie actually looked interesting. I also noticed that a lot of trailers these days try to skate by on audio/visual/visceral thrill riding and maybe a dash of pseudo-profound bullshit without actually telling you anything about the story. It was after a few of those that the Warcraft trailer came up and lo and behold, I felt like it was actually trying to sell me on its plot and themes! Don't know if I'll pop for a cookie for them yet, but it is appreciated.
ETA: CAUTION - COMMENTS CONTAIN SPOILERS.
