Just got out of Star Trek Into Darkness......
Real real nice. Liked it alot. I watched the first one the other day to get prepped, I hadn't watched it since it first came out, really liked the way they put that one together, and this one raises the stakes big time.
But, while I enjoyed it, all I could do was think about Star Wars. This movie was 40% Star Wars, and God damn it, if he follows thru with this same thinking, holy mother of God what Episode 7 will be.
(He's going to solar flare every ******g lightsaber scene tho, isn't he.
dah well, price I have to pay I guess)
This dude even used the word Dreadnaught in the movie.
Thank you JJ.
Now, the biggest reason, Benedict Cumberbatch. THAT is my new Thrawn. (Chester, am I crazy?) I LOVED that dude's performance.
On top of that, his attack where he ninja'ed everyone, hello Jedi/Sith battles soon to come.
As for Trek, I liked it, but I remember the OG #2 plenty, and I don't know about the switch up. Eh, I guess I thought it was kinda cool, but just felt a smidge corny. He pulled it off well, but there was still some unease on my part. I imagine tho, if someone knows nothing about Trek, never saw the og second one, they'd love the hell out of this film. So far, it seems to have been well recieved by all.
Alice Eve, best 2 seconds of the movie, God damn. Let's hope there's more of that in the extended blu ray by about an hour or so. *please sir, can I have some more?*
Not a trekkie, but really enjoying this new generation, really smart, well casted, serious toned, hope they keep going with it.
8.5/10
