The Jaw-Dropping Visual Magic of Star Wars: The Force Awakens
Recently, fans of the Star Wars franchise were treated to an unprecedented roller coaster ride of excitement as they watched JJ Abram’s latest installment, The Force Awakens. Beyond wowing audiences with compelling characters and stories, The Force Awakens also blew away viewers with its jaw-dropping visuals.
As in previous films, the universe of Star Wars shines with a bright interstellar beauty. The Force Awakens takes deep space exploration to another level, however, starting with the epic opening scene of the First Order chasing down a fleeing Millennium Falcon. It is a truly amazing sequence that rivals large-scale, big-budget Hollywood blockbusters.
Following this stunning interstellar chase are a series of daring fights and incredible duels that had never before been seen in the Star Wars saga. The best fights took place in the gattering lands of Jakku and Takodana, along with the epic snow-filled planet of Starkiller Base. But other worlds such as Takodana and D’Qar also featured incredible, awe-inspiring visuals.
The attention to detail in The Force Awakens is simply stunning. Every single scene feels perfectly crafted and thoughtfully rendered. For example, in the climatic battle between the First Order and the Resistance, viewers could really feel the intensity of the conflict with its bold imagery and bright colors. And the timing of every action sequence was precisely choreographed to maximize the tension of the action.
At the heart of it all was of course the iconic Millennium Falcon and her heroic captain, Han Solo. These two beacons of hope and freedom remained integral parts of the story and their presence was felt throughout, with several stock shots of the Falcon soaring off into the unknown.
From the wondrous landscape of Takodana to the desolate plains of Jakku, and from the astounding action on Starkiller Base to the triumphant climax on D’Qar, The Force Awakens sets an incredibly high bar for the future of the Star Wars franchise. More than ever before, audiences have been treated to some of the most epic and awe-inspiring visuals in the franchise’s history and have had their minds blown with JJ Abram’s ability to imagine some of the most beautiful and intense scenes possible.
