My spoiler free review of "The Force Awakens":
1. This movie is awesome. JJ Abrams did an excellent job introducing new characters and making you care about them, while keeping the emotional impact of the old characters.
2. Abrams use of practical effects shines through the whole movie. The small details are evident throughout.
3. The dog-fight scenes are phenomenal. They are the one place Abrams really uses the CGI, and he uses it deftly, giving a sense of speed and maneuverability that the original Star Wars movies couldn't match.
4. You could probably enjoy this movie if you haven't seen any of the others, but you will be missing a lot. Definitely watch, at a minimum, Episodes 4-6 before watching this one.
5. Abrams definitely charts his own course, but watch for homages and/or callbacks to the original series.

In spite of the many plot similarities, I really did enjoy it and I'm excited for 8 and 9. Kudos to JJ Abrams for really studying up on Star Wars and Disney for putting in the money needed to make a good reboot. (P.S. I really appreciated the practical effects as opposed to using CGI on everything.)

I was fortunate to see it in 3D. It had its good and bad points. I'll let others make their own decision on it. I want to see it again though if that's an indication on my part.
