STAR WARS THE FORCE AND THE FURY MOVIE

Remember these names, and maybe hire them if you work in Hollywood. Alyssa Roehrenbeck and Deborah Smith produced and it stars Aris Juson and Deborah Smith. The film was directed by Jason Satterlund and includes cinematography from Federico Verardi. What I would give to see more women like this on the big screen. I’m also appreciative of the fact that we see a female Sith and a little bit of her journey to the Dark Side. Here’s the official synopsis: “A Jedi crash lands on a barren planet and is pursued by a mysterious Sith who seems to know him.” Even with little dialogue, the story packs a hell of a punch. It bothers me to use the word “fan film” because it suggests a poorly-made project when a lot of these look better than major studio productions but what else do we call them? That being said, I must tip my hat to the extremely talented and resourceful team over at Big Puddle Films for producing such a stellar short film titled Star Wars: The Force and the Fury. But I give it a thumbs-down all in all.These Star Wars fan films are on some next-level stuff. Then again, maybe it also has to do with my subjective taste as I may be biased being neither a great Sci-Fi fan nor a huge Star Wars fan. That's why overall I would not recommend the watch. But here we just lack so much, especially in terms of a background story.

STAR WARS THE FORCE AND THE FURY MOVIE

I think this movie could have worked if it was a longer sequence and part of a full feature film and nobody could have complained. The woman is really stunning in my opinion. The two actors are doing a solid job as well. It is visually fine and also from the stunt perspective as much as an untrained eye like mine can be the judge here. The scene itself with the light saber fight (and that is what I mean what I just described) isn't all bad. Also they were trying to achieve too much for a running time of under 10 minutes. Overall, I would say the film maybe relies too much on successful formulas from Star Wars movies without really getting in own creativity. It is the connection to perhaps the most successful franchise in film history that is also going very strong again these days thanks to the new episodes 7-9 coming out, which further boosts this short movie. And if you wonder why this is now a contender for Satterlund's most known work, then just take a look at the title and you will know better for sure.

It is an American production in the English language. 'Star Wars: The Force and the Fury' is a 7.5-minute live action short from 2017 and the most recent filmmaking effort by director Jason Satterlund. Reviewed by Horst_In_Translation 4 /10 Okay for a fan film, not enough for general standards Beyond that, it's just fancy lights and footwork among a bunch of trees. One does have to wonder: if they're going to go to the trouble of making something like this (and I'm sure it took some doing), why not make it a few minutes longer and fill out the story line a little better? Perhaps some day fans will learn that the key to a good film is a story foundation.

Beyond that this would best be classified as a 'teaser'. If you want to watch a few minutes of yet again two people having a light sabre battle in a (rather pretty and interesting) forest, this is the film for you. I give it only 5 stars because it has zero story / plot, the bane of all shorts. (Don't people ever get tired of making those?) The audio is exceptional, the directing, filming and choreography is good, which is why I give it 5 stars. Yet another 'light saber fight in the forest'.
