The film's only issue is that it cannot escape the knowledge of its general audience, the difficult task of creating beloved characters becomes almost impossible when the audience already knows the fate of all those presented on screen if they had seen the original films from the 70s and 80s.

 

This movie does a great job visually and hits its stride during the complex battle scenes and gives the viewer a sense of how small the Rebellion is compared to the Empire's stormtrooper ranks; The final battle goes out of its way to lead the viewer through the action occurring just mere minutes before A New Hope, the first Star Wars film ever released, happens.

 

Now, it would have been all too easy to fill the movie with jumbled CGI like any other action film, but Rogue One takes the initiative and creates cognitive action sequences that viewer can fully take in and enjoy.

 

All in all Rogue One was a good film that while visually stunning and complex struggled to develop its characters and keep the story's element of the unknown. In the end years, we shall look back along time ago in a theater far far away and remember the fond memories of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.
