One of the doc’s highlights is an anecdote Ford tells about running into one of the crew members at a department store. At least we’re spared cast and crew talking about how much they loved working with one another, the default filler for films with uninteresting productions. There also aren’t any easter eggs here or new reveals (so was Daniel Craig in that Stromtrooper costume or not?!). They don’t even go into the injury Ford sustained on set that they needed to shoot around for a couple months. Going just on this documentary, the production seemed blessed from start to finish, void of any conflict. Parts seem a little glossed over, (some of which are elaborated on in the subsequent featurettes), but this is still very much a superficial promotional piece. As someone who eats up this kind of thing, I probably would have enjoyed a three hour documentary. Since there was so much secrecy around these developments at the time, it’s cool to see some of the behind the scenes footage, but there’s not much here that we don’t already know.Īt 70 minutes long, it’s a little lean for what this could have been. Abrams, find the screenwriters, casting, first day of production, etc. The biggest extra on this disc is the feature documentary that premiered at SXSW last month, The Secrets of the The Force Awakens: A Cinematic Journey. In this they go through the entire production chronologically, from acquiring the rights from Lucas, hiring J.J.

The sound design definitely benefits from a surround sound system, but still sounded pretty great on just my TV speakers. The Blu-ray set also includes a DVD, chuck it, you don’t need. While it was made to be seen on the big screen, Disney knew that where it would eventually be viewed the most is in our homes and spared no expense to ensure that it still looks and sounds great on your TV. It’s crisp without being TOO crisp, modern without feeling TOO modern. The marriage of classic film technique and new digital technology just makes every image pop. Without exaggeration, I can say that this is one of the best, if not THE best looking Blu-ray I’ve ever watched. This and some other minor things aside, everyone did a great job on The Force Awakens, making it a joy to watch.

It’s almost as if Lucas didn’t sell the full rights to use the proper name for everything. I also still find it a little odd how they felt the need to rename so many things: it’s not the Empire it’s the ‘First Order’, instead of the Rebel Alliance it’s now ‘The Resistance’. I understand why the film mirrors A New Hope in many ways, but this just seemed too much, particularly since this plot element was already reused in Return of the Jedi.



My complaints are pretty minor, with the biggest being the laziness of the ‘Starkiller Base’ plot element. I’ll just say that having watched it several times now, I really like this movie. While we’d normally include a review of the film with our Blu-ray release, I’m going to assume that’s not what you’re here for ( you can read my original theatrical review here). Now only three and half months after Star Wars: The Force Awakens debuted in cinemas, it’s here in stunning HD for you to own, along with some really nice bonus features if you pick up the Blu-ray. TFA will probably still do gangbusters at retail, but I wonder how many of those downloaders would pay for a copy if they had a legitimate option available.What a world we live in nowadays! Back when the first Star Wars film was released in 1977, fans were forced to wait five years until they could have their own copy to watch at home on VHS – and that’s if they were even fortunate enough to own a VCR. By comparison, yesterday Fox put The Revenant up for sale through online retailers like iTunes, Google Play and Vudu nearly a month before the Blu-ray and Ultra HD Blu-ray version will be available on April 19th.

TorrentFreakestimated that in the first 12 hours over 250,000 people had already downloaded a copy, and it's currently topping trackers like The Pirate Bay and Kickass Torrents.ĭespite DRM and takedown notices, there's little Disney can do to get the movie off of the internet, although one wonders if an earlier digital release may have helped.

The movie is scheduled for release via download until April 1st, and the Blu-ray arrives April 5th, but now that the discs are pressed one has inevitably leaked out. After grossing over $2 billion in theaters, Star Wars: The Force Awakens has made its long awaited debut.
