Watched it again last night on BR, and liked it more than I did the first (and second) time I seen it at the cinema. The battle, especially the one in space at the end is pure Star Wars eye candy, and one of the best I have seen.
Agreed the space battle at the end is great fun. Looking forward to browsing the "extras" tonight. Sad innit?

I really want to find out who came out with the term 'it pulled me out of the movie' and punch that person repeatedly in the face until it bursts like an egg. If you're watching the movie, how can you 'not be watching the movie' because of a specific scene...?
Having watched Rogue One quite a few times, I really can't see how a CGI Tarkin can ruin your whole experience of the film - the voice was pretty spot on and the digital effects portrayed Peter Cushing pretty well. Certainly much much better than Jeff Bridges in Tron. Maybe CGI Leia was a little creepy looking but overall it was a really good effort and it will continue to get better.
I found the Tarkin (and young Leia - especially the Leia) to be a little jarring/disconcerting. They were better than the Jeff Bridge in Tron (I'd forgotten about that), but with so many other CGI characters dotted around the film, the feeling about the characters was easily ignored. They fit well in the story.Having watched Rogue One quite a few times, I really can't see how a CGI Tarkin can ruin your whole experience of the film - the voice was pretty spot on and the digital effects portrayed Peter Cushing pretty well.

Absolutely loved the film at the cinema, but it didn't quite work as well at home.

You have to hand it to the Empire, they really do know how to run some huge scale projects. We should hire them to sort out our ailing infrastructure.
They seem to have no shortage of people wanting to be Stormtroopers or TIE pilots either, so the workplace incentives must be goodLance Catamaran said:

It's a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. Local laws of physics may be different. 
As another poster has commented, the Tarkin/Leia CGI isn't as obtrusive on a smaller screen although it's still noticeable.
I read a book a wile back that did discuss how the laws may have changed.As another poster has commented, the Tarkin/Leia CGI isn't as obtrusive on a smaller screen although it's still noticeable.

I thought the Jeff Bridges CGI added to Tron. He was after all a digital copy of Flynn.Absolutely loved the film at the cinema, but it didn't quite work as well at home.
