Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (Pre-release)

[Robiwon]

LOL Yeah, they updated the theater a few years ago. Really nice. Tickets are the same price. The food is what gets you. Very good, but can be expensive. I got a $30 gift card for them from work so that will cover my food!

I'm trying to stay out. I really am....

I know, shame I didn't know how it would effect me, beforehand!

And this from someone who laughed all the way through E.T.

I had plans to see it tomorrow with my 2 best buds, but the weather guy says freezing rain tomorrow.
I'm not driving for 2 hours in freezing rain.
So who knows when I'll get to see it now.
Maybe I'll take the family Christmas day, like I did last year for TFA.

You saying there's no cinema within a 1h drive from where you live?!?

There is, but I'm not crazy about going alone. Rather see it with friends.

Here's something that some of you might like, a bunch of R1 inspired morale patches.

I just saw it and I loved it. That is all....for now.

I loved it as well. A few small gripes, but pretty much right away it hit me that this was a better film than TFA. Understandably, it is a much more focused, self-contained story with better character development. It was truly awesome seeing OT-era Star Wars back on the big screen. To my own surprise, I also felt that Giacchino’s Rogue One score blew Williams's TFA score out of the water. Save for a few golden moments (Rey's theme, etc.) I think TFA's was too Disney'd up, too sentimental perhaps ... some will argue that it's not a clean comparison though, I'm sure. Anyways, heading over to the Spoiler thread now. GO SEE IT!

I remember going with a girl I liked to see ROTS... I had seen it but she hadn't (I played up like it was my first time) - That's how much I liked her... I was willing to sit through ROTS again.

While we waited for it to start, she went on about how she liked the other prequels and didn't like the OT cuz it looked old and crappy.

Now by this time I had pretty much had it with Star Wars, and so didn't get THAT riled up about it...

Then we got back to my place and she saw my collection (it was more of a pop culture collection than props at the time, but still, a lot of really cool stuff.. maquettes, etc.)

She took one look and asked "Why do you have so many toys? It looks like a kids room in here."

I got angrier.

Thn she saw some of my art prints.

"Do you actually watch cartoons?"

"I'm an ANIMATOR!"

And so the night quickly ended.

Long story short, GOOD LUCK @Snikt ! As you can see, I'm completely over that night and not still annoyed by it.

I took my then-girlfriend to the first, opening showing of TPM...her love of that movie spelled the beginning of the end of out relationship...

 

[SofaKing01]

ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!!! It was so much fun!

 

[samster27]

Loved it but need to see it again...there are so many familiar charactors it needs a few viewings I think.

ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!!! It was so much fun!

Same here, I absolutely loved it too. There were more than a few scenes that gave me chills down my spine and I totally geeked out at all of the Easter eggs and cameos.

I just saw it tonight and loved it! I think GE needs to teach JJ some lessons on SW movie making. The only nitpicky thing I had was that for some reason Vader's helmet, in closeups, looked off somehow. Something about the neck I don't know.

Does anyone know...

Spoiler

If Tarkin was a digital overlay or was it a guy with prosthetics? It looked great. The Leia was decent, but not as good as RDJ in Captain America.

[Sluis Van Shipyards]

Well apparently

Spoiler

They blew all the budget on Tarkin and not much on Leia. Tarkin was very realistic looking. Leia wasn't bad, but was more like what you'd see in an Xbox game.

Should we have a spoiler thread for this now?

 

[Getoninja]

just got back from seeing it.
OMG, Rogue One is absolutely a amazing super awesome movie. Loved it from beginning to end.
recommend it, even twice

 

[MrSouthpaw]

Saw it today. Was pretty good, but I don't think it equals any of the original trilogy.

Ewoks beat shore troopers and AT-ACT all day....ALL DAY

Ewoks beat shore troopers and AT-ACT all day....ALL DAY

I like the shoretroopers, but yeah the AT-ACTs and 'tanktroopers' were pretty unnecessary. Just use AT-ATs and standard AT-AT drivers. It also felt a little lazy and weird that all of the new trooper designs had the same chestplate. But anyway, shouldn't this be in the post release thread?
