Star Trek: Into Darkness - A Numbered Review -
1.) Thank goodness this was the last "Jar Jar" Abrams film (He did LOST, an epic failure of less-than-mediocrity TV show in my opinion)
2.) I saw this in 3D-IMAX, thought it okay. I love 3D but the Film's use of it seemed not to execute it effectively and utilize it as much as it should or try to grab your interest as it should in key pivotal moments.
3.) All of Bones aka Dr. Lenard McCoy lines were mostly shoved into one liners during the action or in-action
4.) The balance of the writing between characters were broken. The one campy thing I will miss from the ST Original is the equal written parts between each and every single character.
5.) Loved most of the actors and the new Scotty bugs me, but Scotty is a hard to imitate character to most I find. Loved 'new' Scotty none the less.
6.) The new "Alternate Timeline" has to do with time-compression, which I loathe cause it fails in this film epically because of the re-use of older plot material in an uninspired way, that and I have watched better written material in the TV series of STO, STA, TNG, Voyager, DSP9, & Enterprise. Anything from the entire star trek old universe out did this new film in writing.
7.) Music was pretty good, not amazing but definitely a good additive on the standard film experience.
8.) the effects seemed lost in translation on the Star Trek universe, but are enjoyable none the less
My Advice:
Wait until this hits your local rental store & Stay Far Far Away from (JJ) "Jar-Jar" Abrams. Or if must see it; Do enjoy it in the Standard 2D version.
5.5 out of 10 Overall-Rating
If there is anything that hindered me liking this more it was indeed the scripts written for this Star Trek and the first one by Jar Jar Abrams.
