- i hate doing reviews; one can argue that films don't need them.
- reviews exist because of movies, not vice versa.
- don't get me wrong; star trek is pretty solid work from the reliable jj abrams.
- it had a tight script, crazy visuals, character buildup, and some bromance on the side.
- that being said, i agonized for 2 hours inside the cinema.
- i was hoping to find salvation for startrek2 after much anticipation.
- i wanted that one break-out moment that can topple iron man 3.
- there was none.
- to be fair, my pre-expectations were quite high for star trek, and a bit low for iron man.
- there was a very high chance that it will fail my expectations.
- as a trekkie, it pains me to say that ironman3 has edged out startrek2 in the emotions department.
- where did my good ol' jj abrams go?
- ironman3 felt, surprisingly, more human.
- you can do the review on your own.
- think about 3 themes:
- infallibility: which felt more vulnerable?
- sense of threat: what was the main goal of the antagonist? was it killing or was it just escaping?
- consequences: do you really think that the protagonist will die?
- having said that, startrek is best seen on 3D and with fellow trekkies.
- live long and prosper, b*tches.
