Fancyarcher Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 I think STID is a good movie, it just suffers from a rushed third act that tries to hard to copy WOK. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a good movie untill that part where they go full on aping Wrath of Khan. But other than that, it's its own movie that happens to star Khan as the villain.

Actually, the villain of the first third is Khan, then it's Admiral Marcus in the second third, and then back to Khan for the final act.

Giacchino did all the heavylifting. What a brilliant manipulative bastard. (Even if it seldom makes sense thematically, Abrams loves going for THE big moment regardless of the connective tissue and the set-up without really earning that big pay-off. I mean it's the little boy that lectures the alien monster about letting go and overcome in the previous sequence then you got this scene parroting ET so hard in which you got the little boy that now has to learn to let go and say goodbye to the alien/mother's mourning, the alien that was about to kill him. The S8 boy and the monster didn't have Eliot and ET's deep relationship and yet this sequence acts as a heartwrenching seperation/liberation...So phony). Into Darkness is also falling into that trap then succomb to its own absence of dramatic agency having to literally and heavily rely on another (better) movie in the 3rd act.

AniNate Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 STID has issues but it never pissed me off the way Super 8 did. And I was really hyped for that movie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arlborn Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Into The Darkness was good fun for me and made enough money for a sequel that seems like it's fun as well, that's pretty much all that matters to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Star Trek was all but dead before it came out. Paramount let JJ make a movie that would appeal to people outside of the die hard Trek fans. It worked No, it's more like... They asked him to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SchumacherFTW Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Just finished the first two in IMAX before the new one in 10 mins. Main thing that struck me is that Into Darkness has an insanely good opening act, but can't keep that up once they capture Kahn. Still a great movie though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
