Star Wars Biomes

This was exactly what it sounds like. Star Wars Biomes is an 18 minute special that takes you to some of the most famous places in the Star Wars universe, to witness some of the events from the movies and shows, from a literal birds eye view. The shots were visually stunning, and I loved how they added the little details from the film or show the scene came from. The 6 Biomes they go to are Hoth (The Empire Strikes Back), Tatooine (A New Hope), Sorgan (The Mandalorian), Crait (The Last Jedi), Mustafar (Revenge of the Sith) and Temlle Island on Ahch-To (The Last Jedi). It was also really cool how they added key parts from each of the scenes, such as the Imperial Walker walking through snow on Hoth, and Luke riding on Tatooine shortly before the Jawas sold him R2 and 3PO.

This was actually very cool to watch, and I would definitely give it a go.

Oddly satisfying and visually impressive, Star Wars Biomes is obviously heavily limited by purely being a moving view of scenery. It's peaceful and was never intended to be absorbing, it shows other angles to famous Star Wars settings. Only for background viewing though, no one is focusing on this.

If you are having trouble falling asleep put this on and the ultra slow pace and ambient background noise will knock you right out. I had to fight my eyes from closing for all of the painstakingly long 18 minutes. I do agree with other reviews that this should be played on a loop in stores that sell huge widescreen TV's I think that is where this would have any benefit or as a screensaver otherwise you should watch it on 3x playback speed.

With this being a "Star Wars" title, of course I had to sit down and watch it.

And I will say that the 2021 "Star Wars Biomes", virtual vacation as they called it, was a mixed bag of nuts. Some of the scenes where you visit some of the planets and locations were rather interesting, such as the likes of Hoth and Tattooine for example, whereas others were just downright boring.

Sure, there is no storyline here or anything going on aside from showcasing some iconic and memorable locations of the "Star Wars" galaxy, so this is something that is interesting only to the hardcore fans of the "Star Wars" franchise.

It should be said, though, that you have to keep alert and check the locations, because some minute details may be shown, and it definitely was enjoyable enough to have some of the iconic vehicles, locations, creatures and such make short appearances as you take a bird's view trip over the different locations.

While "Star Wars Biomes" was watchable, this was hardly something outstanding or something that I would return to watch a second time around.

I am rating "Star Wars Biomes" a bland five out of ten stars.

If you expect a story this isn't for you, but if you love amazing visuals, this will give you goosebumps. Biomes perfectly combines my love for great cinematography and my love for Star Wars. The atmosphere and visuals are stunning. I hope the cinematographer gets involved in a future Star Wars project because this gave us easily some of the most beautiful shots in all of Star Wars. Or at least give us a sequel with Coruscant, Scarif, Cloud City, Kamino and Takodana for example.
