Went to the local IMAX last week to see Solo, A Star Wars Story.
Not a Academy Award winner for sure, I found the story line a bit weak and the movie moved just a bit slow. I don't think Opie was the guy to direct this one, he should stick to chick flicks. The CGI and immersive soundtrack was good but nothing that had me feeling they put any work into offering a new level of the SOTA, nothing I hadn't seen before. So with hindsight, if I had missed the $17 IMAX ticket I wouldn't have been broken hearted.
All that said I'll say this, the movie did put a smile on my face from the first few scenes on that stayed there throughout. The humor and character interaction made for an enjoyable couple hours that I found time well spent. Who doesn't love Chewbacca, (and yes, Han seems to have learned to understand Wookie somewhere even before the timeline of the movie). Thank goodness, when the credits rolled I didn't feel like I'd been raped as I did at the end of Avengers -Infinity Wars.
If you get a chance to see it at the theater, it's worth a ticket.
3.5 Oscilloscopes Up.
