They’re on a mission, and this exoplanet state fair happened to get in their way. The other characters look exasperatedly at the droid. C-3PO informs them that it is the “Festival of the Ancestors,” that it only happens about every 42 years, and that it is known for its colorful kites and delectable sweets.

Early in The Rise of Skywalker, the final movie in Disney’s main Star Wars trilogy, the heroes travel to a desert planet where they encounter a sprawling bacchanalia populated by spongey-skinned aliens with tentacles dangling from their face. I just wanted more elephant-walrus Coachella. However, if you’ve been catching up on all the other films in 2D, you might not want to dive into the world of Star Wars’ 3D universe with this particular film.This article contains spoilers for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. If you’re a 3D fanatic, this presentation isn’t a total waste of time, but it won’t rival some of the best examples of the medium we’ve seen in recent years. A decent end to a saga’s third dimensional run, there are stumbling blocks that could have been avoided, but weren’t. Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker isn’t the worst 3D conversion in Star Wars history, but it certainly doesn’t hit the lofty heights of Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ 3D conversion efforts. Still, with the Brightness factor being what it is, you might find yourself straining a bit when watching the film over a prolonged period of time.

Even fast-moving scenes like the aerial battle towards the end of the film are presented in such a way that it doesn’t wonk out the effect. Surprisingly enough, this isn’t the case at all, as the picture is easy to take in, even in this sometimes visually confusing format.

Audience Health Score: 4/5įor a series that shows off a lot of action and adventure in its epic scope, you’d think Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker might be a bit hard to follow with your 3D-trained eye. There are good amounts of blur in the background, but there are a few pieces of this movie that look flat out 2D not 3D. But in this particular case study, there are too many of those non-blurry 2D moments to feel like they’re just anchors to hold the picture together. So when you take your glasses off during a 3D enhanced film, you’ll notice both blurry bits and non-blurry sections. It’s basically a natural law in making things pop in a movie like Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Glasses Off Score: 3/5ģD conversions need points of 2D data that anchor the image on the whole. As for the rest of the film, it’s still washed out in even its’ brightest of circumstances. In a 2D presentation, this wouldn’t be a problem but in a 3D context that ruins the effect, and just confuses the eye. That portion of this film is so dark you can’t see anything, except when the lights start to strobe, which is totally on purpose. While your mileage will vary in this factor, based on how well your local theater maintains their 3D projection rigs, the new planet of Exogal is the setting that sinks this brightness score down to the level it sits. You can tell very early on when some movies are going to have a problem with brightness, and Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker is definitely one of those films. You can see the limits to the depth of the images, but it’s drawn in such a way that it doesn’t hinder the film’s 3D illusion at all. Strong, clearly defined spatial reasoning is in play as well, with characters being properly separated from their environments and each other.

Abrams’ visual storytelling, which really compliments the moments when the film takes full advantage of its “Before The Window” aspects. An almost limitless field of vision is shown throughout director J.J. When it comes to the depths of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker’s 3D image, things start to look up for the conversion on the whole. At its best though, atmospheric effects like snow and debris pop out at the audiences, as well as the occasional lightsaber or debris from a crashing TIE Fighter.

Surely enough, there are aspects that pop out of the picture from time to time, but the effect isn’t used as much as it can be throughout the film in question. So it checks out that this is indeed a Star Wars movie, and in that grand tradition, a lot of stuff can be thrown out into the audience during any given scene. Lightsabers clash, ships fly close to the screen, and various objects and planets explode during Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.
