Watch it and ignore the critics!
Rating: 10/10
We watched ' Star Trek - Into the Darkness this afternoon (May 9th
2013).
I am not going to reveal specific details because this film is so new
that I am aware that many people still have not had the opportunity to
watch it, and I do not wish to ruin their experience.
Having read the points raised in the 'maddog' review I just wanted to
say that we found it to be a truly absorbing and brilliant film, and
our views are so diametrically opposed to 'maddog' that I genuinely
wonder if he/or she actually watched the same film - or slept through
it and took a wild guess as to its quality.
Star Trek - Into the Darkness is mainly a fast paced action film
interspersed with scenes of human interest which facilitates the deeper
development of the main characters and their inter-relationships. The
phrase 'bonding under fire seems appropriate.
I would urge people not to be dissuaded from watching this film because
a reviewer cannot see the link between Gene Roddenberry's much vaunted
ideals and therefore trashes J.J. Abrams work. Let me just say that as
I am in my 66th year, I have watched ALL the Star Trek series and films
and can advise that this film combines a serious reflection of William
Shatner's portrayal of James T. Kirk but also matures Chris Pine as the
film progresses. As Roddenberry was closely involved with original Star
Trek series I therefore believe that he would approve the direction
that Abrams is taking the latest incarnation of Star Trek.
Star Trek - Into the Darkness is aptly named. It is rich in plot detail
and exciting to watch. It will have many people sitting on the edge of
their seats, willing those embroiled in battle to succeed. Even the
villain (stunningly portrayed by Benedict Cumberpatch) warrants a
certain amount of sympathy from all fair minded people.
My advice - Go, Watch - and be thrilled by a brilliant film. We will go
and see it again!!
Our thanks to all those involved in bringing this to our screen - great
job!
