Star Trek Into Darkness (2013)

Sorry to let you down, DG.

To be fair, I didn't write a long, boring exegesis on this movie (as i would normally do for movies i either love or hate or i find interesting for some reason). I just said "Loved it". And I did acknowledge the film's senselessness (above). But that i enjoyed it nonetheless must be put into context...I love EVERY Star Trek movie, even the awful ones, like ST 1 (and the other odd-numbered ones). I have no excuse for that, but i make no apologies either. I yam whadiyam.

But next time i'll put a warning label on my upturned thumb. "Caution: Nerd alert! Unwarranted Appreciation Ahead!" ... or something.
My readers deserve the heads up.

I thought he seemed affectionate toward the source material enough. I dunno.

That's just it. I LOVE every Star Trek movie, too. I overlooked everything (minus the annoying lens flares) of the first rebooted movie, because I loved the way each character was portrayed by the new cast. I join you in your certified geekdom.

I couldn't wait for this movie to come out - you didn't let me down, JJ Abrams did.

I could see where this is a passable popcorn action flick, but it's Star Trek. It's supposed to be better than that. It's supposed to be more cerebral than a popcorn action flick. This was Star Wars with Starfleet uniforms.

Got to this one on Amazon Prime. I'm not a huge Star Trek fan (though I've seen about 90% of the movies and the original series).

I thought it was fun and exciting. Out of all of the re-boots of classic movies/series, I like what Abrams has done with the ST movies.

My biggest peeve was all of the fake lens glare he used and spent the last 20 minutes of the movie freaking out that all of this glare would also make into SW Episode VII. He says it won't
