It’s the steampunk Star Wars! Now with a whopping 50% less coherence than the prequel trilogy!
Come on. Do you really expect me to think this trilogy is anything less than a blatant rip-off of Star Wars or has any point or purpose in existing as an independent work? The number 1 bad guy is the mother of the plucky hero who finds out she has special powers to use a mystical device and is fighting against an evil totalitarian force trying to conceal the existence of a mythical force from the populace.
What a crock of shite.
On the plus side, it’s very pretty. Very pretty. That alone might rank it as one of the top films of the year. And I’m a sucker for steampunk design.
Handy note: There are a few infallible means of detecting the bad guy in movies : bald people, men with soul patches but no moustache or beard, and people that smack their souls around. Never fails.
