Rogue One: A Star Wars Story [DVD] [2017]

Great movie. It’s refreshing to get a Star Wars that doesn’t involve the usual story line. Excellent espionage movie set in the Star Wars universe. 3d is the best way to watch

*updated* This is officially in my favorite star wars films sadly only one of the original one are. Episode Six. If you enjoy action graphics and a new more main character type of Force you will really enjoy the new universe Disney Lucas and Marvel are creating. Sorry old cannon fans but the sith Jedi force monopoly was like having two different oppressors you notice they both say they will bring and maintain peace, yet for most of the old galaxy the force and Jedi never touched 90% the top % of the republic mere meters below where the temple stands billions suffered even before the war. If their duty was to the republic and its people why were they involved with the senate, they were focused on the Republic as a whole. Not worried about collateral damage. Not worried about how they treated Ashoka despite Anakin's belief and the time they had known and seen her do extraordinary selfless things. Its time for the rest of the galaxy to geg a taste of the force. IMHO *spoilers* General worth watching opinion post Disney Starwars. PULLING PALPATINE OUT OF THE CLOSET too avoid another trio of movies bringing the saga to a close. I think they did the best they could with the film minutes available too honor the past and open the future of the franchise. All three movies are fun. I think the latest is the best and has a lot of fun force battles. Also cutting Carrie fisher out of the film, too please a few nerds sorry nothose minutesd thoes minuets on film. That was a proper funeral, we all should be so lucky. They are amazing fun if not cheesy and obviously moused down.. But disney is bringing us a new galaxy, far far away. One in which the force flows and is used by many but without the skill or Jedi or Sith. I I hope too see more non light or dark force users, like in "Rebels", the Bentu. Partial users like Finn, Poe ,the storm troopers in " Return...Skywalker"who were all like Finn. I think so far they have managed not too destroy the franchise im enjoy clonewars lost season, S7. However Rebels, Solo, Rise Skywalker, Episode III are my favorite movies. If Clone wars series were exited into a movie and re animated at oixar level they could turn the cline wars into a two moview reboot...i mean it was a war how it conckuded in a film is amazing lol. Its hard too grasp the time scales... Death star 2 at yavin 4 was 30 years ago. And thats my take on all available new starwars media , if your not a stikler and dont wish they used all pupets n crap n had cut out Carrie then these are not for you. Otherwise def FUN, FOR the kid in you who still dreams AND ANY 12 PLUS WILL LOVE THEM, and the increasing use of the force is what ive always hoped for. Enjoy my Fellow fans

This is a very good bridge from the prequel movies to the original trilogy. It arrived on time and undamaged. Very much enjoyed.

The title says it all. Rogue One is a tragedy that sets off the story line in Episode IV. Casting, acting, storytelling -- all top notch. Only the CGI of the two passed actors is lacking, but it was the best technology could do at the time. And the excellence of the rest of the film easily makes up for that. It fits perfectly into the Star Wars universe, better than the rest of it.

The story of Rogue One stems from Star Wars IV: A New Hope when the rebel pilots are briefed about the attack on the Death Star – remember? They learn about the fatal flaw built into the station that makes it vulnerable to a single X-wing fighter from information provided by Princess Leia. Flash to the opening sequence of Star Wars IV: A New Hope: Princess Leia’s ship is attacked and boarded by Darth Vader who is looking for the “secret plans,” which Leia gave to R2D2 to give to Obi-Wan Kenobi on the planet below. So how did Princess Leia come to possess the plans to begin with? From those two plot lines the writers of Rogue One have almost parenthetically created the story of how the knowledge of those plans was first obtained by a few reluctant rebels who recognize their importance, and then they steal them and fight to get them to the freedom-loving, democratic Resistance which has the means to exploit them. Edge-of-your-seat tension is achieved from start to finish of this story with the forces of the despotic, totalitarian Empire close on the heels of the two heroes (Felicity Jones as Jyn Erso and Diego Luna as Cassian Andor) who finally get them into Leia’s hands, only seconds ahead of Darth Vader’s ruthless pursuit. The story is very cleverly written and fills an opening in the Star Wars saga. A word about the music . . . Michael Giacchino reportedly had only 4 ½ weeks to score the entire film. The quotes I’ve seen have all struck the right tone and paid the proper respects but let’s face it – I miss John Williams. To mention just two points: Williams’ scoring always has theme music (a leitmotif) for each character, ala Peter and the Wolf – you could close your eyes and tell which character was on the screen just by the music. Also, the mood was quite a bit darker than Williams’ lighter, more lyrical touch. After Star Wars films I remember coming out of theaters humming some of Williams’ motifs. I have watched Rogue One 3 times now and the only melodies I remember are the recycled melodies Michael Giacchino borrowed from Williams. The body count is high on both sides, albeit bloodless, with storm troopers falling like Nazis in a Steven Spielberg movie. The festival of destruction starts when the Empire destroys an entire city with the first use of the Death Star, apparently just to see if it works, then continues until finally two of the Empire’s star destroyers (what is the ship’s complement of a star destroyer?) get destroyed by the Resistance fleet, which itself is losing cruisers and other craft like they have an endless supply. Life was cheap a long time ago in that galaxy far, far away – a galaxy in which, by the way, all the main characters spoke fluent American and fought for democratic ideals against an oppressive despotism. But it’s all in good fun with no gun control advocates or liberal politicians around to spoil the spectacle. In the end good defeats evil and that’s all that counts.

Great star wars movie

Compra internacional que chegou antes do previsto (2 dias antes) e a qualidade da embalagem é superior as que já estamos acostumados (embalagem azul) e o disco, em 4k, apresentou erros durante a reprodução (depois de uma hora de filme, ele trava. Apresenta pixelagem). O filme não apresenta dublagem e legendas em português do Brasil. Vem também a versão em blu-ray normal. Não tive problemas com esse! Vem com opções de dublagem e legendas em português do Brasil.

“Rogue One” è uno spin-off della saga di Star Wars e la storia in esso narrata si inserisce tra Episodio III ed Episodio IV. Il film è centrato sull'azione di un manipolo di ribelli che riesce a trafugare il progetto della temibile Morte Nera e a trasmetterlo ai capi della ribellione, che così potranno avere una chance per eliminare la terribile arma, fatto che notoriamente avviene in Episodio IV. I nuovi personaggi si inseriscono perfettamente nell'universo di Star Wars e le loro vicende si intrecciano a quelle di alcuni characters della saga originale che ritornano in scena per la gioia dei fan di vecchia data. Impossibile non provare un brivido vedendo di nuovo in azione Darth Vader in tutta la sua oscura maestosità, così come non si può fare a meno di commuoversi per la breve apparizione della principessa Leila nel finale. Tra i nuovi personaggi, spicca particolarmente il vilain di turno, il Direttore Krennic che, mosso da un’ambizione smisurata porta avanti il progetto della super-arma tra gli intrighi e le invidie degli ufficiali imperiali, così come è decisamente riuscita la coppia Cassian-Jyn che nel drammatico epilogo trova il riscatto per un passato tragico e costellato da azioni poco limpide. Interessante, anche se solo accennato, il rapporto tra Krennic e lo scienziato che progettato la Morte Nera, Galen Erso, che un tempo erano amici e ora si trovano su fronti opposti. La colonna sonora accompagna magnificamente l’azione e in alcuni passaggi, in un ideale trait-d-union, lascia spazio ad alcuni temi classici, come la celeberrima Imperial March che accompagna Darth Vader. Film ottimo, godibilissimo che tiene lo spettatore incollato allo schermo dall'inizio alla fine. A mio avviso, "Rogue One" ha riportato la saga ai livelli dell’insuperabile trilogia originale. Un must per tutti i fans.

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story gehört zu den stärksten Filmen des Star-Wars-Universums. Statt sich auf Jedi, Lichtschwerter und die Skywalker-Familie zu konzentrieren, erzählt der Film die Geschichte einer Gruppe gewöhnlicher Rebellen, die eine außergewöhnliche Mission übernehmen: die Pläne des Todessterns zu stehlen. Unter der Regie von Gareth Edwards entsteht ein deutlich düsterer und realistischerer Ton als in vielen anderen Star-Wars-Filmen. Die Figuren wirken glaubwürdig, ihre Mission ist gefährlich und die ständige Bedrohung durch das Imperium sorgt für eine spürbare Spannung. Besonders Felicity Jones überzeugt als Jyn Erso, die sich von einer Einzelgängerin zu einer entschlossenen Kämpferin für die Rebellion entwickelt. Visuell ist der Film beeindruckend inszeniert. Die Schlachten zählen zu den spektakulärsten der gesamten Reihe und verbinden klassische Star-Wars-Atmosphäre mit moderner Tricktechnik. Gleichzeitig gelingt es dem Film, die Ereignisse direkt mit Krieg der Sterne zu verknüpfen, wodurch die Geschichte eine besondere Bedeutung erhält. Einige Charaktere hätten zwar etwas mehr Hintergrundgeschichte vertragen können, doch die starke Inszenierung, die emotionale Wirkung und das spannende Finale machen diesen kleinen Makel mehr als wett. Besonders die letzten Minuten gehören zu den eindrucksvollsten Szenen, die das Star-Wars-Franchise hervorgebracht hat. Rogue One ist ein packender Kriegsfilm im Star-Wars-Gewand und eine hervorragende Ergänzung zur Hauptsaga.
