Saw star wars, 9am IMAX show, about 70% full.

 

Trailers:

30 second deadpool IMAX spot

5th wave

Divergent

BvS

Cap Civil War

Independence Day

maybe another but I don't remember what

 

The deadpool spot got the best crowd reaction of the trailers, some laughs. None of the other trailers got any reaction

 

Lots of cheers at the Lucasfilm logo, some cheers at the Star Wars logo and start of the music. Pretty muted the rest of the movie except some solid laughs in appropriate places, pretty similar to Jurassic World as far as crowd reaction overall.

Movie

There was no way this was going to live up to the hype or deliver the movie worth such a long wait, but this Star Wars fan is pleased to say that this is an exciting, well-assembled adventure that stands as a worthy addition to the franchise. It's comforting just to be immersed in this universe again, as J.J. Abrams does a commendable job setting everything up for a whole new trilogy. Daisy Ridley (who I am positive is Keira Knightley's long lost twin sister) and John Boyega are pretty good, although hopefully Oscar Isaac's Han Solo-esque character gets much more to do going forward. I have to say I'm not feeling Adam Driver's Ren as a particularly imposing nemesis yet though, while the usually reliable Domhnall Gleeson is asked to gnaw on the scenery in an over the top turn. As for the returning favorites, Harrison Ford is as good as ever and Mark Hamill...is great just to see back in this universe, but I don't think Carrie Fisher slipped back into the whole thing very well (although that could be because she's become far too associated with the highly self-depreciative comic that she's become over the years). I had a lot of fun. Welcome back, Star Wars. B+

 

Crowd response was very good but not fanatical throughout. Everyone applauded at the end.

From a couple days ago:

 

Star Wars (IMAX 3D laser)

10:30pm (although the trailers didn't start until 10:50pm! I've never been at a commercial screening that didn't start within a couple minutes of the listed start time)

100% full in the 932-seat TCL Chinese

 

Trailers

Star Trek Beyond (boos, laughs, cheers)

Batman v Superman (cheers, one dude yelled "FUCK YEAH!" at the title card. Much laughter afterwards)

Warcraft (cheers)

Jungle Book (cheers)

ID4-2 (cheers; even Liam Hemsworth got a cheer)

Captain America: Civil War (cheers)

 

Movie

It was great, the crowd ate it up. Pick every conceivable point where there might be a great crowd reaction, and there was.

The first and last cheer Liam Hemsworth will ever get. Poor thing.

Not 100% true. I remember that time Van Damme falcon kicked a knife to Liam's chest.

 

 

Death cheers don't count.

 

I reminded of when Leonard Maltin was recapping the Godfather series and he said that when he saw the third at a screening in 1990 the whole theater cheered when Sophia Coppola got killed.
