Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

rogue-one-poster-tall-1024x576-1536x864-

 

“As a fat American and film enthusiast, I often compare movies to food. In that respect, something like “La La Land” would be a robust meal - the kind that you see in those FDA-mandated “ideal plate stickers”; something like “Arrival” would be brain food, the kind that stimulates your senses and gets you thinking; and something like “Hunt for the Wilderpeople” would be a dish that you wouldn’t sample under normal circumstances, only to grow to love it if you could only branch out. And by this same analogy, “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” would be junk food. It might not necessarily be good for you, but it looks, smells, and tastes pretty damn good.


Because yes, it is hard to argue that “Rogue One” is a movie that needed to be made. The Star Wars franchise was riding so high after the joyride / franchise revival that was “The Force Awakens” that “Rogue One” arguably only needed to be passable entertainment in order to be successful. There’s no need for Disney to make the extra effort to make their films good, as the amount of franchises it has under its belt almost guarantees it’s going to be the dominant studio in any given year. And yet, as we’ve seen this year with “The Jungle Book”, “Finding Dory” and “Captain America: Civil War”, Disney is capable of locking film after film into their schedule for the express purpose of making money while still crafting high-quality, enjoyable entertainment.


“Rogue One” is not a perfect movie. The Star Wars franchise, along with Marvel, DC, and whatever others pop up in your head, will likely never be awards contenders, and there are some serious flaws in terms of overall character development. But in terms of the goal it sets out to achieve - creating an enjoyable, fast-paced, and crowdpleasing Star Wars movie that can help you escape from the problems of the world for a couple hours - “Rogue One” absolutely succeeds.


Although there’s limited time devoted to the supporting cast, each of them gets their moment to shine. Being “A Star Wars Story”, “Rogue One” doesn’t have to limit itself to the typical constraints of a major movie franchise. People die in this movie, and not the Agent Coulson kind of death. There are real consequences, and real stakes. Felicity Jones, as Jyn Erso, carries the movie with her significant acting talent, and in just one movie creates the kind of family drama that makes the story of the Skywalkers so compelling in the other Star Wars films. And even if your problems with the film kept you from enjoying it, there’s no denying that the filmmaking displayed in “Rogue One” is absolutely stellar, with everything from the cinematography to the production design to the score working incredibly synergistically and efficiently.


In the end, “Rogue One” might not necessarily be the greatest thing for the film industry. It’s not exactly like you need more sequels and spinoffs in the world, whereas we certainly could use more “La La Land”s, or “Arrival”s, or “Moonlight”s. But overall, the job of a sequel or a spinoff or any addition to a franchise is to strengthen the original property. And I dare you not to watch “Rogue One” (specifically the third act) and want to watch the first film immediately after. It may not be healthy, but it’s blockbuster filmmaking at its finest.” – Eevin

@AABATTERY Seeing as how the Hunt for the Wilderpeople is a New Zealand film and thus foreign....you failed to get that nominated at an award it could have won. Although Elle really was the best foreign film (haven't seen either Wilderpeople or Handmaiden though).
