don't know if I've watched this, or if I've just seen the ads for it.
Thanks mate.
You're welcome.

@Kiwiwomble if I hadnt watched the 1st one and been let down, I'd be thinking fuck, that looks mint!
-
@taniwharugby thats fair, i filed the first one away as "fun" rather than "good" so will happily watch the second at home with some takeaways knowing i didn't pay to see it in the cinema

Not going to sugar-coat this: That looks shit. Like the writers at Disney got lazy. Even though I'm making allowances for my bad mood right now, I can't accept children cutting straw scarecrows is a match against an enemy that can amass an interstellar (I assume) fleet.

Scott Bakula's gotta be one of our least transformational actors. I like him fine but he completely overwhelms anything he's a part of, transforming the work itself rather than allowing himself to become subsumed, humbled. This is a type of Star power. Brando had it. Welles had it. But where those men would pull their films into their gravitational pull like planets orbiting a star, Bakula pulls all of his projects in the direction of a TV movie from 1994.

Sounds like someone missed the battle of Endor back in 83

No, and even as a child I hated the ewoks.

Yeah, that was much better than I thought it would be.

@antipodean Just once I would like to see an interstellar fleet advance upon a planet protected by a rag-tag group of rebels, and vaporize the surface with relativistic velocity asteroids.

Surprisingly, one of the best movies I've seen this year was Godzilla Minus One. The boy is a huge Godzilla fan so went to see it with him and was blown away by how good it was. Don't need to be a Godzilla fan to enjoy it. It's Japanese with subtitles though.

The Empire might have done that if Admiral Ozzel hadn’t come out of hyperspace so close to the system.
Honestly, he’s as clumsy as he is stupid.

I had to check it wasn't a remake of the seminal '77 Roger Donaldson film. It isn't, looks good and will watch

The first movie in the Japanese reboot series was also amazing so shouldn't have come as that much of a surprise!
