Not many expressions in the first minutes of each of the OT either. Other than threepio babbling in a new hope and the officer shitting it when he hears the emperor is coming in Jedi.
So, two of the three, then

It just isn't willing to pause the noisy action long enough to let us feel/invest in Rey's character and reality. I think the tie fighter laser shooting sequence lasted as long as any "girl trapped on a sand planet" scene.

Rey really is the greatest pilot ever. If she's this good at everything I hope she dies.
