11 Reasons You're Wrong About Solo: A Star Wars Story
1. It's Absolutely Stunning To Look At
Bradford Young is one of the finest cinematographers in the biz, and his work in Solo shines throughout.
Solo isn't Young's first sci-fi feature - he worked with Denis Villeneuve for Arrival - but it might be his most visually impressive. The atmosphere the film exudes is one of Star Wars' best, and it owes that to Young's work, which paints a decidedly darker picture of the galaxy far, far away than most interpretations have dared attempt, save for Rogue One, which featured a far less expansive set of locales than the most recent Star Wars spin-off.
It's just a remarkably well-shot movie, and it's a theme that runs throughout all of its scenes, whether they're large, action-based spectacles, or quieter moments of reflection.
Star Wars has always been a mythos built on an incredibly unique visual style, and while they've always been pretty to look at it, the way Solo is shot pushes it into the top-tier of Star Wars movies - at least on a visual level.
The galaxy far, far away has never looked so good - even if it is a little rough around the edges.
