The Futurist Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 (edited) To this day, I still don't get what people didn't like in Star Trek Into Darkness, I liked everything in it : cast, acting, set pieces, music story, VFX, and I choke a little at the end every single time. I like it as much as the first one if not more. Edited July 18, 2014 by The Futurist 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elessar Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 (edited) I like it as well except the Wrath of Khan scene. "Oh, let's recreate that scene, except this time, Kirk is dying!" Ain't we clever... Edited July 18, 2014 by Elessar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was a good way to see Spock loosing it by showing his half human side 100%. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I left the movie theater really disappointed, many rewatchs later I think it's on par with the first 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 JJ needs to do his Schindler's List or Saving Private Ryan after Star Wars. I mean, JJ's JJ. So his Schindler's or Ryan will be a film that spends way too much time paying tribute to those films and won't be 1/4 as good. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how deep he goes in the reflection. There is a reason why Spielberg waited that long into his career to tackle those subjects. JJ Abrams is not seasoned and mature enough as a director to tackle such heavy subjects movies because he got nothing of importance to express as an author director. He's a Joe Johnston right now.

The Futurist Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 (edited) JJ Abrams is the best cover band in Hollywood right now, if that makes sense. So his choice for SW is obviously a good one. Edited July 19, 2014 by The Futurist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
