Star Wars: The Force Awakens Blu-Ray Review
As a long time fan of Star Wars, saw Episode 4 in a theater when I was 7, I looked forward to Episode VII for a long time. Aside from venturing back into the battle between The Empire and The Republic, The Dark Side and The Light, there is the story behind the making of The Force Awakens.
Mirroring a great many aspects of Episode 4, The Force Awakens takes up back into the epic struggle between good and evil in a galaxy far, far away. The Dark side has emerged, seemingly stronger despite the death of The Emporer and his apprentice, Lord Vadar, in the form of The First Order led by Snoke and his apprentice Kylo Ren. I won’t tell you the story because, if you are reading this, you’ve probably seen it. If you haven’t, well, lucky you because Star Wars: The Force Awakens is now on Blu-Ray today!
The Blu-Ray features a ton of extra goodies which, as a fan of the movies, you have to see because they bring you closer into the world of Star Wars. If you were especially thrilled about the use of practical effects, as was I, you will be very happy with the following:
Building BB-8 – See how the filmmakers brought the newest droid to the screen, creating an instant fan favorite in the Star Wars universe.
Crafting Creatures – Watch movie magic as the filmmakers bring a cast of new creatures to life. Not with CGI but with practical costumes. Welcome back wolfman!
You can also see the Secrets of The Force Awakens: A Cinematic Journey – For the first time, discover the complete story behind the making of The Force Awakens, revealed through in-depth footage and exclusive interviews with the actors and filmmakers in this feature documentary.
The lightsaber duels in each set of movies have been in very different styles and now you can see the Blueprint of a Battle: The Snow Fight – Go deeper into the epic, climactic lightsaber battle between Rey and Kylo Ren.
The music of Star Wars is iconic. Everyone knows Darth Vader’s intro. Watch and listen to John Williams: The Seventh Symphony – The legendary composer shares personal insights of his work on Star Wars and The Force Awakens.
If you love Star Wars as much as I do, and I really do, you need this. You need Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens.
Go get it.
Why are you still here?
GO GET IT!
