If something ends, it means it doesn't go further. Sometimes it's better not to restart something that actually ended. Simply, because it can't go any further.

I watched the first Star Wars as a teen and was sold at first sight. I loved every follow up but have to say that the last one didn't meet my expectations. Still I was happy to have all six DVD's and at least once a year I watch them throwing me back decades and in my own fantasy world. Sure, you like Star Wars, or you don't.

Then there was an awakening. Star Wars VII came out, and straight away I was skeptic. Star Wars ended. My story, my fantasy, my best of the world science fiction film had a closure and I was in peace with it. Like any good book, you fear the last page. When it you read it, it stops... It's over. sniff.

And then it restarted. Pity. All of a sudden my favorite characters were old and had kids who are naughty. The empire came back disguised as an evil nation of Panem in which a sort of giant President Snow who looks like Lord Voldemort represents the Dark Side. Yoda's grand daughter found Luke's saber and gave it to a Katniss look-a-like who was continuously followed by an orange football. Once in a while this poor girl was transferred into Harry Potter scenes, but that might be just a mistake because part of the film was made in Britain and they probably mixed up the studio's.

The characters spoke too much English but that's because its a British film. It's always a pity if a film is transformed in a British story because in England films always have to have an English touch. That is probably why British films don't do as well as other big film countries like the US, China, France, Japan, South American countries, and Scandinavian and southern European movies. Star Wars is not English. period.

Technically the film was OK, but I have seen better ones. I missed 30 years of story. The scenes were partly a catch up from old times and partly new invented story's created for a future (younger) public. The power and strength from the characters Yoda, Darth Vader, Anakin, Luke, Obi Wan and the other Jedi's, Leia, Han, Chewy, and even C3PO and R2D2, could not be transferred in VII.

It's a weak story that tries to connect with a very powerful history but unfortunately breaks down straight after the opening crawl. Bad acting and a no sense story line. Even the bad copy of Darth Vader is pathetic.

Sorry, I know that the big critics actually found it a box office product. Unfortunately they didn't pay me for a review that would benefit the budget. Iam just a viewer who can honestly say that its a flop.

If you want to watch and expect the Star Wars feeling you will be disappointed. Its a sad side step with too much British (£31,6 million) funded glory moments.

It just doesn't have the effect of the original first six.

I watched it and felt a boys dream sinking in the abyss. The story did end. Well before this number VII. SNIFF

OK, I agree. They should have gone for the urban legend story. It was all a bit predictable. Never the less the acting actually made it worth watching it. The scenery was fine, but the story itself was a bit confusing. I usually don't spoil, but in this case I put some questions/notes down that might be a tiny bit spoiling. Its just that I hope the director of this film will take in account what ordinary film lovers think.

I didn't get the legend to murdered woman line. I think the legend was not needed. Gave it a weird twist that didn't fit. Its a revenge film. So why were the teens killed that had nothing to do with it. I did get the possession part, but killing the girl and her brother didn't make any sense. I think if a ghost goes ballistic, they all should die. But that's me. The part in the middle where the woman was raped (was she actually raped?) was chaotic with a bit too much unrecognizable and blurry scenes. It didn't clear anything up and only the producer and actors probably knew what was going on, because they had the script. I didn't. So I had no clue what was going on.

Anyway, end good all good. Not the kind of film I would watch again. As I said, the acting was above average with a couple of nice scenes that could have been different so the logic would kick in.

I gave it a 5. It wasn't horrifically scary, but the acting was fine and the scenery was good. I've seen worse.

Please learn from it.

I have to give it a 2. The film started good with actually good acting, nice scenery and interesting story line. Yeah, it was a bit slow, but it gave you the chance to get into it. Unfortunately after 60 minutes it goes wrong. The moment the attack starts. Again, it goes wrong when it comes to human nature. Normal human behavior. Even with Google glasses on no one runs backwards in panic. You don't ride a bicycle while watching your feet. If you know your surrounded by meat eaters and you see your friend changing in one of them, pretty quick as well, you don't try to feel sorry and try to comfort them. You run! Your scared, terrified! You don't scream and keep running against walls in the dark. Survival instinct kicks in. You'll shoot your friend and get the hell out of there. you might be loud, but you don't scream like an actor or actress in a bad found footage film. And that's how it ends(sigh)Like a found footage film. shaky cam, dark scenery, screaming people acting totally irrational. The last couple of minutes were surprising and actually a welcome end. Unfortunately the boyfriend runs on the field not looking back, and it takes way too long before he gives his girlfriend attention. Wouldn't you run together towards the light, not letting each other go and feel the relief of escaping a horrible adventure like an explosion? Would that not be the perfect moment to realize that your girlfriend somehow changes? I gave it a 2. Just because the first half was fine, but hey... let's face it. A film like a football match always goes to the end. pity.. PAZ brothers please, if you read this and would like your films to create human emotion, don't hesitate to contact me. Human behavior in these kind of films is not fiction. Its based on logic. Take that in consideration and your film would be awesome. :)

What was that about? And why doesn't IMDb have the vote-option 0? I am keen to watch a whole movie, just to make sure that I can give an honest opinion.

I watched the whole film...

OK, so I have to say summit about this film. It doesn't matter what the budget is. But I think a film can only be called a film if it is one. Its not even a B-movie. Sorry. Girl gone/no mention about it in film/Wicked witch comes and go's/magic light at the end of the tunnel/ end of the film.

Cast must have been paid minimum wages. I mean.... seriously????
