Star Trek Into Darkness is amazing
WARNING: The OP of this is just a review with zero spoilers. Comments may contain spoilers, however. View at your own risk.
Honestly, this movie did almost everything right. All of the nostalgic callbacks were done perfectly and the story line was superb with nice little nods for classic Star Trek fans throughout. Cumberbatch is excellent and steals every scene he's in. He continues to remind me that I need to get to watching Sherlock.
What'd you guys thing of the movie? Appraisals? Qualms? Love it? Hate it? Rating out of 100? I personally think it deserves much higher than the 87 or 88 it's sitting at on RottenTomatoes and significantly higher than the 73 it has on Metacritic.

I like the old ones

It was a good movie, not amazing though. It was kind of obvious how it was going to end at one point. I would give it a 8/10.

Edited by Tom T: 7/1/2013 12:15:49 PMI wrote a review (no spoilers in it, don't worry). I considered creating a dedicated thread, but felt more comfortable slipping it in to an existing discussion, rather than it being the object of it (as it's a long read). People can always like this post and keep it at the top if interested. [spoiler] Noting your focus on Rotten Tomatoes/Metacritic, I ended up giving Star Trek 3*s and Into Darkness 4*s. Initially I had it at 4.5*s, in order to better distinguish its significant improvement over the original, but I ended up editing it down, as I wasn't completely sure so erred on the side of caution. I hate the need to boil down to ratings, seeing as they are so subjective. A 7 might seem good to one person, while another will look at nothing less than 9 (it doesn't help every half-decent triple A hits this now, leading to score inflation perception). Anyway, I'm ranting. Please feel free to give it a read, and let me know of your views. You can also yell at me too, Crazzy, if you think it should have been kept at 4.5.[/spoiler]

1 ReplyThe commercials for this movie have convinced me that JJ Abrams needs to do a Mass Effect movie. It would be awesome (and is possibly the only video game franchise that would do well as a movie franchise besides the generic action ones)

1 ReplySherlock is awesome. And I'm excited to see Star Trek. makes me hopeful Star Wars can make a comeback.

I really liked it too. Cumberbatch was awesome. 8/10 for me.

1 ReplyIt was so good, in fact, that it got me into Star Trek.

4 RepliesIt was awesome, but i saw most of it coming a mile away.

2 RepliesYeah, there were a few key scenes on here [spoiler]like that part on Kronos where they're stepping out of the ship[/spoiler] and [spoiler]every single shot on the Dreadnaught[/spoiler] made me almost giddy to see what JJ will be able to do on Star Wars. Tl;dr: I am excite.

I saw it a week early on base. I liked the movie and I'm not even a Trekkie.
