Star Trek into Darkness

[Miriel]

Does it cause you physical pain to acknowledge that a movie, a MOVIE, placed theatrics above perfect sound reasoning or something? My god. Just grasping at convoluted explanations.

I can enjoy something and still acknowledge the silliness of certain aspects of it without having to rationalize everything so that it makes perfect sense. I actually HATE it when people do that. Which is pretty much the only reason I'm still posting here. Because it's this weird convergence of two prominent pet peeves of mine. People who read too much into things that happen in books/movies/tv (Lost drove me nuts with this. There was no plan, people! It was all made up along the way!!) and excessive collateral damage in movies.

They trashed San Francisco, it made me pout. That's it. Jesus. I fully understand it was to create lights and bangs and action. There doesn't have to be some sort of entire back history as to why this is like the most reasonable thing to happen ever (which it wasn't, I mean c'mon).
