Re: Star Wars Episode VII
agreed. DKR was magnificent in IMAX and worth every cent for the premium. I haven't seen a movie in a Dbox theater yet, but the sound in the IMAX theater rattled the seats.
It is lost on me why there are not more movies shown in IMAX. Its obvious how big a push there is to upsale people, but I can't do it for 3D. Noah is the only movie this year that I can think of shown in IMAX. Maybe Nolan will share his thoughts on 3D with Abrams. |
Re: Star Wars Episode VII
I think the problem with IMAX is not just cost... I'm not big on the specs of the IMAX cameras but I heard they're gigantic heavy cumbersome things and make filming a pain to complete.

WARNING: "star wars 7 plot" spoilers below
JJ Abrams' movie focuses on the hunt for Luke Skywalker after an opening scene in which the ageing Jedi Knight's severed hand, complete with lightsaber, tumbles through space and is found on a desert planet by two young adventurers. The pair, played by Britain's Daisy Ridley and John Boyega, recognise the weapon as a Jedi weapon and set out to return it to its rightful owner. According to the site: "Their quest takes them off world, and they meet up with Han Solo and Chewbacca, who aren't flying around in the Millennium Falcon anymore … Han and Chewie recognise the lightsaber as Luke's, and they say they haven't seen their friend in thirty years, since the events of Return of the Jedi. "So begins a quest to find the missing Jedi Master. Meanwhile, on an ice planet, nefarious forces are building a super weapon, one capable of destroying not planets but entire solar systems … " Source: Badass Digest |
Re: Star Wars Episode VII
I'm not sure whether I like the fact that the main characters of the original trilogy are also going to be the main characters in this one or not...

So how would it..

...gain altitude, make it into space and then land on another inhabited planet?
If his "hand" is robotic, let alone even if it's able to get there after all those years, wouldn't it burn up in the planet's atmosphere by the time it lands and become dust? To me the whole thing sounds ridiculous. |
this sounds fishy to me, seems too much like "A New Hope", except with a hand instead of the droid

WARNING: "Possible Spoilers, Star Wars VII" spoilers below
Is the whole "some kids find Luke's hand in the middle of nowhere and just happen to bump into Han and Chewbacca who recognize their friend's severed limb after it spent thirty years floating around in space" plot confirmed or just a rumor? Even in series that has laser swords, 900 year old Muppets, and slug/toad hybrid crime lords that sounds rather ridiculous.

Those new Stormtroopers look badass.

Re: Star Wars Episode VII
My expectations for the new Star Wars are very low, and I'm not really a fan of Abrams. My suspicion is it's going to ruin the entire expanded universe continuity.
