Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope - Reaction & Review!!

[@arraymac227]

Yes, Virginia, there are those who hate the 90s enhancements.

As a crotchety old person, I deeply appreciate your calling out awfulness of the CGI additions. I'm not anti-CGI, sometimes it's great. But, blunt and ugly, CGI has become standard because it's cheaper and faster to do more, not because it's higher quality, and in most cases is CGI works best in the background.

[@kai_oda]

100% Agreed

[@kenpaden]

Great reaction young man!! good luck with the channel, I think you are going to do well, you have a great personality and you clearly love movies, I was 19 when this film came out, I wish I could properly tell you how incredible and fun it was to go see this stunning, groundbreaking film in the theater.

[@kai_oda]

Thanks for your kind words man and I wish I could see this in a theater. This was clearly made for the big screen experience.

[@jeffreymcmahon3627]

Well, the 50th anniversary is a few years away. I'm sure there'll be a limited release for it.

Just an info : ''Kessel run in 12 parsecs'', parsec is a distance in space used in astronomy for real, it correspond to see an object in space with a parallax of 1 second of arc. 1 parsec = 3,26 light years.

I personally like seeing the model ships in this rather than cgi space ships..at least the grain of a solid object can be noticed with the X-wings and the others while the other later movies looked like video game graphics..same reason why Conan The Barbarian from 1982 was successful and the remake in 2014 (14?) ended up flopping ..real stunts..less fancy effects..less images that lack the sense that whats being seen seems to be able to be felt through the screen.. like martial arts from the matrix compared to martial arts in Enter The Dragon..the realness can be recognized

[@arraymac227]

Some DVDs suppress in-movie subtitles. This film and, _Kill Bill: Part 2_ with the long bearded master training montage are the worst offences, imo.

[@creaturecaldwell9858]

Good reaction. Kerp up tge good work (s). 👍

[@creaturecaldwell9858]

Not kerp. and not tge..keep and the 😃

[@mafrank1natural]

Great reaction! 💯 agree with you all the CGI that was added was not necessary as it looks fake, looks like a video game... The 1970s and '80s always look better with the practical effects and models they could have just left the film as is and just enhance the sound and picture clarity overall is fine for being remastered but yes you are correct The added CGI is horrible at times.

the rock R2 was hiding behind was added by cg fx for the special edition it was not in the original

[@jughead4845]

But if you look at that closely, you can't help but wonder how he got into that alcove.

[@dolphinsrr]

The seath star and olanet explosian wascgi added to the orginal

[@DigiVixen]

"There's Satan" - and somehow it's more and more funny with each reactor.

[@daliilars3350]

What is this? 😊 A new reactor new to the Star Wars series? 😊 Don't mind if I do.

[@Ralph64]

Excellent commentary! You should definitely watch "How Star Wars was Saved in the Edit" on KZbin. For movie influences, "The Dam Busters" will show you the origin of Act III. (Heads-up, a dog in Dam Busters has a name echoing a racist epithet of the day. Sorry, 1955 movie about events in 1943). Also, John Williams' "Battle of Yavin" score presaged in the 1976 TV movie "Midway".

[@kai_oda]

Thanks for your recommendations! I've never heard of "The Dam Busters" but it's on my watchlist now!
