Star Wars: The Force Awakens Is Already Breaking Ticket Sale Records

@tyronefonsworth: I'm more excited about week 3 or 4. When there isn't lines out the ass.

@jerses: Lucy is a good movie but it climaxes way to quickly.

@jerses: It comes down to suspension of disbelief. The tech and mysticism of the Star Wars universe works because of course it does. Ignoring the b.s. explanation of the force Lucas injected into The Phantom Menace, everything about the Star Wars universe is so advanced that we just kind of accept it as a possibility. Like taking an iPhone back in time to the 1800's. It would seem like magic, and they wouldn't understand how any of it worked. It would be beyond them.

On the other hand, Lucy asked us to believe that we only use 10% of our brains, which is an idea that was disproved a long time ago. It wasn't a horrible movie, it just had a big misstep right out of the gate. If they had just reworked how they presented the idea, it would have gone a long way to restoring the suspension of disbelief.

@jerses:Ok, I know what you mean, I understand where you come from because I didn't hate Lucy, but the movie wasn't nearly good, even if they got the scientific facts right. Star Wars is a sci-fi fantasy space epic, it's full of inconsistency and science salad. Like so many moons and planets have Earth-like atmosphere and air, breatheable by different species, and humanoid "aliens". In Lucy, they base a whole movie on a flawed concept from like 1950, that people only use 10 percent of their brain, and goes one on a very serious and almost condencending tone to show that using more of your brain turns people into arrogant and sarcastic superhumans with the personality of a cardboard robot. I mean, yeah the special effect were kinda nice, it is a Luc Beson movie, but it sucks as a whole. Just like the Star Wars prequels.

@jerses:Never even heard of that before, but after looking it up I can't say as it doesn't seem all that silly imo.

Anyway I am a semi-realistic person, such as if it can pass something off as believable or that the technology is possible. I mean it isn't necessary, but I like things to make some sense in some form. Take for example blasters, I mean we actually don't have plasma based weaponry in real life, but the sci-fi technical explanations are good enough to be believable and are somewhat realistic given it is super heated gas(Star Wars uses Tibana gas for their plasma weaponry). Same with Star Trek, so much made up junk, but it is so technical and explains what is happening in a believable way. As long as something can be passed off as believable whether or not we know something might not be as it is in real life(If it were even possible). Now as for Doctor Who, yea everything in that is a joke, the reason the realism is ignored in it is because the campy nature and silliness to it are why it is watched(At least for me, plus certain times and locations are neat).

Side note not directed at anything you said, but more as to put this out there:

There is no actual sound in space in the movies, I'm sure Lucas was aware, it would just be boring to watch without sound.

@RossRichard: And it still made money at the box office.

@davillain-: are you going alone?

@davillain-: Midnight? Mine starts at 7:00pm on the 17th.

@beastmode: Who the hell cares about reviews? Have you seen the inconsistency between critic and user reviews? Watch a movie and form an opinion for yourself, or you're the one being stupid.

@beastmode:

New generation r stupid let it go, you cant change anything. Sad but true. Look how they answer to you" someone couldnt get ticiket haha and bla bla bla ". They dont know and dont care what r u trying to tell.

@beastmode: It's a movie, hardly a big loss of time or money if it turns out to be a disspointment.

@beastmode: Star Wars is Star War, even if it is terrible and we knew ahead of time, there would still be plenty of people who would see it(Including myself). There is a reason why it is described as a cult film franchise by some. It is just like the Star Trek movies, not all are bad of course(I'm talking pre-2009), but many fans were aware that they weren't that great of Star Trek films and still went to see it. Some like to see more of the universe which is already good, the technology, lifestyle, etc regardless of the plot.

@beastmode: Someone couldn't get tickets =D ...... but I did =D

@beastmode: It's Star Wars man... you don´t really need to hype it... it's already there jajaja!!!

@beastmode: don't be cranky just because you couldn't get tickets.....
