Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

Action, Adventure, Sci-Fi

The Rebellion makes a risky move to steal the plans for the Death Star, setting up the epic saga to follow.

The critical consensus

The ultimate Star Wars fan film, it’s short on whimsy but when it gets going there’s enough risk-taking and spectacle to bode well for future standalones.

****(*)James Dyer, Empire Online, 13/12/2016

If you’re looking for ‘classic’ Star Wars, look elsewhere. Rogue One is something new, and by respecting the source material - but not being overcome by it - Edwards has given us the best Star Wars movie since 1977.

*****Lauren O'Callaghan, Total Film, 13/12/2016

Felicity Jones’s fugitive, hunting for the plans to the Death Star, is a tousled-but-game female lead – just one of many classic Star Wars motifs in Gareth Edwards’ exhilarating spin-off.

****(*)Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 13/12/2016

Rogue One is entertaining enough in its own right but seems a little anti-climactic after the revitalising triumph of The Force Awakens.

***(*)(*)Geoffrey Macnab, The Independent, 13/12/2016

Rogue One is an absolute triumph.

*****Stefan Kyriazis, Daily Express, 13/12/2016

One of the most exhilarating in the series, a film with a real sense of how to tell a story – and tell it well.

****(*)Alistair Harkness, The Scotsman, 13/12/2016

If it doesn't quite elicit the chills of The Force Awakens, it's still a superlative blockbuster – and the most battle-hardened Star Wars yet.

****(*)James Mottram, The List, 14/12/2016

A visually stunning, quietly radical film.

Adam Woodward, Little White Lies, 14/12/2016

Rogue One looks fantastic, boasts some spectacular battle sequences and makes two hours fly by in an instant. What more could any self-respecting Star Wars fan want for Christmas?

****(*)Allan Hunter, Daily Express, 16/12/2016

Felicity Jones fronts the resistance against the Empire in a convincing spin-off that blends nostalgia with cutting-edge CGI.

****(*)Mark Kermode, The Observer, 19/12/2016
