Way ahead of it's time. - Star Wars Reviews

it's hard to review a movie that's almost 25 years old without some bias - i mean, the special effects will inevitably look dated, their concept of the future is a bit screwy, and acting seems to have improved as a general rule over the last two decades. nevertheless, Star Wars is a stunning movie that is truly the best film of the 1970's. that the special effects can stand the test of time is an astonishing fact in and of itself. the true genius, however, of this film is the story itself - a timeless tale that set the stage for the (soon-to-be) 5 additional films that came after it. the characters are well-thought out, the action sequences are beautiful, and the film is just pure sci-fi poetry.
