So I felt compelled to keep up with the franchise reboot.  First the good things, the opening space battle is really good.  This is something I've wanted to see on the big screen for years.  Star Trek never goes near it, but Star Wars finally did.

The downside is that's where all the CGI budget went!  The rest of the in space scenes are the universe's most dull chase scene.

Now onto Princess Leia, they seemed in two minds over to kill her off or not.  The right decision was to do that given the sad departure of Carrie Fisher.   But no we are teased with the characters death, pushing that problem further down the road.

The casino segment where they are trying to find the codebreaker is a little tenuous.  It was trying to point out the ethics of such places but it all felt too shallow.
