Watched "Into Darkness" today, it was full of action, lasers, space ships, music and tongue in cheek humor just like every good Star Wars movie, cough! cough! I mean every good Star Trek movie.
You never know:-)
Yes totally agree with the above, it is a fun ride...
However, it is also a badly plotted and stupidly structured mess. With core emotional scenes that woefuly miss the mark and that are in fact sobotaged by the plot and direction itself.
And if you are wondering has JJ turned down the god awful lense flair. Hell no! Now you've got hundreds of lights hovering between you and the actors in glorious 3D.
With 2009's Star Trek reboot I was so glad to have a new trek romp that I was fully prepared to forgive it the flaws. But they've had 3 years to come up with something better.
JJ has only 2 years before episode VII. This does not look good.
I saw it in 2D as I believe it was a retro fit wasnt it?
Yeah I agree with you too but we must remember these movies are scifi action popcorn movies. Yes at times its silly and unbelievable, things happen which make you go WTF but I'd take this any day over, say Prometheus which was more serious more "proper" scifi but at the end left me (and many others) scratching my head wondering why Ridley even bothered.
Lets just say it shat all over the prequels from a great height and I just hope the guy can make an exciting sequel to our beloved OT.
