Star Wars IV: A New Hope

Review:

 

The Empire has been in power for a couple of decades and the Jedi are pretty much extinct. Darth Vader terrorizes everybody and the Rebels are seeking refuge wherever they can. R2D2 has stolen plans of the Death Star which can destroy it inserted in him by Princess Leia. He and C3P0 then go in an escape pod to Tatooine and meet Luke Skywalker. Afterwards they run into Obi-Wan Kenobi, Han Solo and Chewbacca and go to Alderaan to deliver the plans to the Rebel leaders.

 

This is by far the greatest Sci-Fi movie out there. It basically made the genre what it is today. A lot of laser fights, including a lightsaber battle between Darth Vader and old master a Obi-Wan Kenobi, followed by a space battle, this movie is for its time breathtaking. This is definitely worth the viewing for any Sci-Fi enthusiast.

 

Overall: 10/10
