The Force Awakens

Went to watch the new STAR WARS movie Episode VII The Force Awaken.

Watch in Dolby ATMOS cinema sound, where sound comes from all directions, including overhead ( I do saw a lot of overhead speakers) to fill the cinema with clarity, richness, detail, and depth. The sounds of the onscreen story suppose to move all around us in three-dimensional space, making us feel like we’re inside the action. Somehow I feel the sound experience is not really that mesmerizing apart from the initial DolbyATMOS intro, or I am old-deaf. Still John William's opening theme really bring back the force inside me.

Star Wars 7-TFA, I believe is to create a new generation of Star Wars fans, with new heroes (especially heroine), villains , droids, redesign spaeships, a bigger Death Star and a new "Yoda" , but  it's also a nostalgic trip bringing us back 30 years younger.

I like Rey a lot, Stormtrooper FN-2187 Finn and Poe is good too. These three characters believe is meant to stand side by side to Luke, Solo and Leia, The rolling Astromech BB-8 is great; R2-D2, sure have a tough competition.
When the Millennium Falcon comes out for the first time in this movie, the full Force of Star Wars nostalgia really hits me.
One will also see some changes of some original space ships from the earlier Star Wars, like a black X-Wing and a redesign Star Destroyer : Finalizer. ....and, a much-much bigger Death Star.

As for the villain Kylo Ren, there is just no substitute for the Sith Lord - Darth Vader.
