Well, it was definitely better than the one made in the '70s with Robert Redford. However, it still wasn't as good as people believe the book is. In fact, the book isn't even as good as people believe the book is. But I digress. It was colorful, fantastic, and relentless in its absurdity. It makes me want to re-read the book to see if I missed something the first time around which caused me to dislike it. |

Third times a charm!

Usually when super hero franchises approach their 3rd or 4th film they start to grow somewhat stale. This isn't the case with the Iron Man series although the previous director of the other two parts Jon Favreau has this time decide to step away from the director's chair and gives the reigns to Shane Black (Who only directed Kiss Kiss Bang Bang before but who is a successful screenwriter ) Black gives us a better sequel then Favreau himself did with Iron Man 2 with all the things that made the ... |

Review: Star Trek Into Darkness
|
|
Star Trek Into Darkness is wild - the most fun I've had at the movies so far this year. Directed by J.J. Abrams, it's a very well crafted, action-packed, breathtaking adventure film that's terrific entertainment for everyone - whether or not they've seen an episode of Star Trek in their lives. What's missing from J.J.'s Star Trek movies is the logical and thought-provoking ideas, which many Trekkies complain about. I don't really mind that - I just look at his films as blockbusters, and they ce... |

Kon-Tiki

Kon-Tiki (2012) PG-13 Explorer Thor Heyerdal (Pal Sverre Hagen)sets out to prove that South Americans in pre-Columbian times settled Polynesia by doing what many in 1947 thought impossible – set out on a balsa raft from Peru and cross the Pacific, all 4,300 miles. This is a fascinating film that follows the Heyerdal and his men on one of the most incredible journeys that man has ever traveled, a journey that inspired generations to become explorers. Hagen absolutely nails the part of Heye... |

Star Trek Into Darkness
|

Star Trek Into Darkness (2013) PG-13 Captain Kirk (Chris Prine), Spock (Zachary Quinto) and the rest of the Enterprise crew are sent on a mission to go behind enemy lines. Will Kirk risk his ship and crew to stop a man (Benedict Cumberbatch) that is hell-bent on death and destruction? I am a huge Star Trek fan and I loved the first J.J. Abrams Star Trek (2009) film, that brought a fresh take to this iconic series. But I only liked this film, I didn’t love it. It felt that now that we know... |

This sequel is a true continuation of the previous J.J. Abrams directed 'Star Trek'. The story ups the stakes and furthers the relationships of the core characters, while delivering amazing visuals and compelling action. Thrilling set pieces that contain actual peril are complimented by battles of intellect between heroes and villains. There are many moments that will delight and surprise fans of Star Trek lore. The plot twists and tuns, in particular, are quite satifying. 'Into Darkness' ... |

A Mostly Logical Sequel
|
|
This is a good sci-fi movie, but I can't help thinking that Into Darkness is made more for Star Trek fans than the casual moviegoer (at least compared to the first film). That's not to say that a general audience won't appreciated it, I just think all the little references and touches will be lost on the regular populace. Still, this movie succeeds thanks to the characters - especially Benedict Cumberbatch, who presents an amazing villain.
The movie starts off in classic Trek fashion - an aw... |

Just as Good as its Predecessor
|

Well, I can finally say that I've seen a 2013 release that I genuinely love. About time. Star Trek Into Darkness is crazy fun, well-crafted, and has a great story as well. It's rare to see a summer blockbuster so intelligently made, and so easily enjoyable. I haven't had this much fun at the theater since last year's Wreck-It Ralph. Into Darkness may not have the accessibility of its predecessor, but this is still a superb action flick, and maybe the best action flick I'll see all year.
