Customer Ratings & Reviews

This movie is better than Episode 7. It's the only Star Wars movie since the original trilogy that actually feels like a true Star Wars movie... at least to me. I was very disappointed with Episode 7. It had great potential and I'm sure Star Wars fans that love everything Star Wars that don't like to question or critique the movies won't agree with me. The movie formula these days needs to change. So many reboots and so many disappointments. The art of making a good movie I feel has been lost.

Rogue One is a well-developed story that lands you in between Episode III and IV. Without spoiling the movie, you get to see great new heroes like Jyn Erso and villains like Director Krennic. You can learn more about the actors who portrayed these characters by viewing the bonus disc, which includes in-depth interviews and behind the scenes footage. The cinematography is stunning and the end leads you right into Episode IV, A New Hope. Highly recommended for any Star Wars fan and movie buffs alike.

This movie, being an anthology of the Star Wars universe, is a great addition to the Star Wars family of films/stories. It nicely ties together the CGI Clone Wars episodes, the original Star Wars (Episode IV), and the Revenge of the Sith. I won't spoil it for those who haven't seen it, but it definitely can stand on its own. The only draw back is one CGI'ed character at the end, which didn't look so good compared to the other major CGI live action character. Anyway, I would recommend this movie. :)

What can you say about Star Wars movies - any of them - they are all my favorite movies!!

This is perhaps one of the best of all the Star Wars movies. You are drawn to the characters because you know this is your one chance to get to know them before their inevitable demise. The plot is not overwhelmed by the special effects, but is enhanced by them. This is unique to movies today, as many are just a lot of noise with no real plot or character identification. If you haven't taken the time to view this amazing story, please do. You won't regret the investment of your time and attention.

A SW short story really, and direct lead-in pre-episode to the original Episode IV. While some reviews gripe about the length, the characters' arcs, etc, let me say this: if you have read every SW piece of literature printed, written, streamed, or photographed, you likely won't like. For the rest that have a real life and not enough time or interest to hunt down every SW morsel, this is a nice story that literally explains most (but not all) of what happens after Ep.III and leads into Ep.IV.

4K version great. Awesome colors and sound. Great purchase solid movie

What can you say? Maybe one of the best Star Wars films so far! Ties in nicely with the 2nd trilogy (beginning with A New Hope). "Many Bothan spies died getting these plans to us" was said in A New Hope. Rogue One gives a great story to those spies, sad as they were doomed from the start, but nonetheless essential to the continuity of the Star Wars story. I must see and a must have in any Star Wares collection. The Steel Book Case edition is terrific as are most of Best Buy's Steel Book editions.

Nice movie, story was compelling, enjoyed it very much

Another great addition to my collection and even better in 4K!

great film, easily the best of the Disney Star Wars movies. highly recommend

Amazing movie!! Super great as a stand alone movie, a lot different from the others

Another great addition to my Star Wars collection. Looks incredible in 4K.

Hands down the best Star Wars movie since the original trilogy. Looks awesome in 4K.

It explains the error how the Star wars trilogy began from the beginning.

Usually before I go see a Star Wars film. I prepare by watching the prior films due to the new film's connection. However, this film is a standalone in the franchise, so I went into this film blind. However I did play Battlefront, not in preparation but because it's a fun game. After seeing the film, it was the best way to prep. Rogue One is actually a War film. I'd pretty much say it's the more Warsy of Star Wars film than any other feature. The focus is more on those enlisted in the rebellion rather than the Jedi. The film takes place before the events of the New Hope and details how the plans for the Death Star was stolen. Garett Edwards is a good director, I liked his prior films. I also like the change in pace of this film. I appreciate the slow build of the first half. In the beginning the film 'spacetrot' to different planets. I felt that we've visited more planets than any other movie. I like how vastly different each planet looked. The characters I liked were Donnie Yen, who always plays a blind warrior. In this film he's a true believer of the force. However, the film leaves a mystery as to whether he possessed the power of the force. I did appreciate that aspect of his character. The Cgi is perfection, I remember watching an interview where someone once said "the technology will one day be perfected to the point where you can bring actors back from the dead". Wow it is evident in this film, Peter Cushing is back in this film (I don't feel this is a spoiler since he's a major character in the plot line of the Death Star). The Cgi is perfected to the point, where there is no uncanny valley. People will watch this and either wonder who is the actor they got or will be dumbfounded in thinking that Peter Cushing is still alive. The action scenes were great, it definitely captures how brutal this mission was in order to get the plans. The Scarif battle definitely shows how outnumbered the rebellion was against the Imperials. My problem with this film would be the main characters. I didn't find myself emotionally attached to Jen Erso, trying to find her father. I didn't care for Diego Luna's character. They aren't as exciting as the characters in the previous films. Now before you say that's because these characters are new in comparison to other characters who've been in Star Wars existence for 40+ years. I like the characters like Poe Damron, Finn and Rey. I instantly like those characters and could identify their traits from watching the Force Awakens at the theater. However the two leads are somewhat bland and by the numbers. The rebel with a past, the devoted rebel captain who will stop at anything to complete the mission. I understand this film went in a more serious route in story. However they could at least given some appeal to the two leads. Alan Tudyk work for the droid K-2 is good, his character is hilarious as the dry-witted droid. Ben Middleson does a great job at portraying the pompous villain Krennic. However I wasn't as invested in Jen Erso and Captain Andor. That's a problem when you have a story that every Star Wars fan will know how it's going to end. We all know they succeed in stealing the plans. However it depends on how fun the journey is and if youre going to introduce new characters at least make them enjoyable. This film definitely feels like a Star Wars film, I heard a lot of people say that it doesn't have that feeling. However, the music, atmosphere and call-backs will remind you. My only worry is the over saturation of this franchise. Star Wars is known for taking 2 years or more before introducing a new film. Which explains why even the prequels made money despite being bad movies. The franchise knew how to wait and build up the excitement and anticipation for a new film. Star Wars is an event film, which is evident how this film had me confused in how to prepare for it. I'm sure I'm not the only that has a prep for these films, however since it's a standalone and we just had a Star Wars film come out last year. It left me confused which is why I came into this movie with an open mind. Which is unusual for a Star Wars film because, all fans have build up anticipation and preconceived notions after a couple years of waiting. I just hope the day will never come when the most beloved franchise will end with fans going through Star Wars fatigue.

Was expecting more from this movie. The movie was still entertaining.

Another great Star Wars movie in 4K makes you want to watch the original Trailer G

Delivering on the promise The Force Awakens made when the Mouse House took the reins of this saga, ROGUE ONE really puts the WAR in Star Wars with a film set firmly in the dirtier, more rough-and-tumble side, not only further flavoring the original adventure as we already know it, but offering up some of the most impressive imagery in this series to date thanks to Gareth Edward's distinct visual stylings. (Also, Alan Tudyk just needs to be in bloody everything. Starting now. Aaaaaand go.)

Best Buy's Rogue One SteelBook exclusive was an instant buy for me. I dig the overall design of the artwork, inside and out. Sound & picture quality are stellar for both 2D/3D versions. I was surprised, though, that the 3D version was not as eye-popping as I expected (though the X-Wings flying through the rain sequence was very notable). The separate disc of bonus features is always a welcome, though the absence of a trailer gallery is a bummer. Overall, another highly recommended release.
