After The Force Awakens, I was afraid Lucasfilm were going to follow the Marvel approach to cinematography, but I'm glad to see that's not the case. Some of the shots here are quite lovely.

Probably just to give a similar aesthetic to that era of the Star Wars-verse. I don't see her getting a

TFA had fantastic cinematography.
Reshoots are standard, Force Awakens had them, Marvel films have them, budgeted and decided in advance of shooting.

It did. So thats a testament to how well this film is looking.

I was mostly referring to the characters. The trailer has done nothing to sell me on them at all.
I can almost see the glorious sacrifice already. Pretty boiler plate stuff.

I hope this movie has some kind of personality to it that just isn't coming across in the trailers. I mean, the cast is great, it looks pretty, and it seems like it could have some solid action, but the trailers seem kind of... lifeless, in a way that calls attention to the fact that they're also not really telling us anything about the story or characters.
Wash-bot has been the only real spark for me so far.

That's harder for you to accept than a muppet that can lift a thousand times its body weight with its mind?

Best case scenario for me is that after the final shots of the surviving heroes, it goes to Vader in a tracking shot as he moves through the star destroyer to the doors of the Tantive IV and walks through, then the screen wipe to credits.
You know what would be good? A Star Wars movie akin to Master and Commander. A lone Star Destroyer and it's crew hunting for rebel ships.

I want to quote this for how deliciously nerdy this. I mean that in the kindest way possible.
Better everything than Godzilla I hope.

So the planet at the beginning...are we all agreeing that was Naboo?
It is Jedah.

It's Jedha, the Mecca of Star Wars for people who follow Force religions.

TFA was lovely in every sense. Great cinematography.
That's actually a fucking incredible idea.
This shit got me so hyped.

Ben Mendohlsen character is looking up at Darth Vader. Bet on it. The man looks terrified.
Even if I could get a book or game about this concept, I'd be in heaven.

What movie did I watch? But seriously, it had some scenes that were great, and quite a few that were just shrug worthy. The entire trench run remix was bland as shit. Not just because of how very little action was actually going on, but because of all of the stupid up close and limited angle shots.

He needs to stalk and kill everyone Jason Voorhees style.

I would say it was good in areas, but great is an overstatement and a disservice to films with actually great cinematography, if I'm being honest here.

Boring, safe, cookie-cutter, unoriginal, add more message board key words/phrases
Godzilla was great.
I think I'll watch it again.
Yeah, I need to rewatch this one. I was incredibly disappointed by the lack of Bryan Cranston and the close up framing during monster fights, but revisiting it on a TV screen might be better fare for it.

Out of context scenes make the dialogue look awkward.
Das Boot: Imperial Edition. I'd be down, but then I've always rooted for the Empire. I'm still waiting for my Band of Brothers with Stormtroopers.

Beautiful trailer. I think I already have a crush on the lead actress. Looked like a better trailer than TFA's was.
