Star Wars VII (no spoilers)

I saw Star Wars VII yesterday...has anyone else saw it yet? I remember going to see the original in 1977, and here are in almost 2016. This one (while not perfect) is a lot better the the last three.

Have not seen it. But am gonna. It would BE cool to watch it in 3d. I like 3d movies. Good to hear it was worth it.

Do you have large glasses?, I have pretty small ones so maybe that is why I like it.

"... a lot better the the last three" is faint praise. 

Oh, it is good. We may go see it again today.
I thought the look and feel of it was new and fresh. The acting and dialog was far better than the last few.
Not too much cgi, but still more than I would have liked. It's pretty hard to make a modern looking Sci-fi movie without cgi. There are plenty of old school effects thrown in too.
I can't talk about the things I didn't like without...I'll stop.

I'm going to give it a miss. I lost all interest in Star Wars at Return Of The Jedi. Doesn't excite me at all and I'm not a fan of modern CGI. 
 
I loved the first two though. It's amazing, I have a very clear memory of going to see Star Wars at the movies when it first came out (1977?), I remember waiting in this huge line which stretched around the block and the whole movie was just burned in my memory from the first viewing. But when I think about it, I was only 4 years old! Hard to believe that a toddler could follow a sci-fi plot, but I was completely and utterly absorbed in it. I remember yelling "YAY!" when they got their medals at the end, and being terrified of Darth Vader. 
 
I also have very clear memories of seeing King Kong in 1976 (the one with Jessica Lange and Jeff Bridges). Three years old and boy, did I love that gorilla. I cried my eyes out when he died at the end and people in the movie theater were coming over to give me candy. 

Tickets for Tuesday. I look forward to seeing this. I was reluctant to open the thread. Glad there are no spoilers so far.

It's this way for all popular movies. I MUST have an unobstructed view and be in the audio sweet spot. That means there are a total of three seats in my local multiplex that are suitable viewing/listening locations. If I can't get one of them, I won't bother. I also hate noisy audiences, whiny children, long lines and crowds in general.
 haha Bit-that`s me as well-I have been known to take a raincheck when seating is not ideal.


also-we have Platinum Class viewing at home-lazy boy,high def tv,blu-ray and 5.1 sound,plus you can drink,smoke and pause when the beer hits the bladder.
it`s not the same as a theatre of course but once you factor in the travel(35k),cost of tickets,the stench of popcorn and as phones are not banned here in cinema`s yet I am happy to wait 3 months and watch it in comfort.
or maybe I have just turned into a curmudgeon??
cheers

Saw a great review by Mark Kermode (extremely hard-to-please UK film critic), so that bodes well.

It's good.

The OP said "no spoilers".

I just think it's amazing that there were three trilogies (i.e., nine movies) designed from the very beginning (which is why the first movie we all saw was called "Chapter 4: A New Hope") and that we're FINALLY starting on the third trilogy.  I wonder if Lucas will live long enough to see all three finished?

Hi,
 
I'll gladly ignore it.
 
Thanks!

Hi,
 
Saving all my moolah for the Portland Internation Film Festival ... I think I'm getting a $400 dollar pass so I can see any film I want and get first go on the seating!
 
Pig in Heaven!

Yep, it was good. One of the best of the bunch.
