Let there be no confusion about it I really liked this movie. But what on Earth did I just see? This was Star Trek? Sure the references are there and just enough there to give it it's authenticity. Only I could swear I was watching a Star Wars like movie. Don't get me wrong. I love Star Wars. Only Star Trek always was quite the opposite of Star Wars. J.J. Abrams is proving himself more and more not to know the first thing of what Star Trek was about. I may have forgiven him for his first expedition. For the second one I feel very conflicted. Star Trek: Into Darkness is all about the action and less about the science or story. Which for the most part works because it is one adrenalin pumping scene after another. And that creates a problem after a while. Exhaustion. There is only so much adrenalin us humans can handle. Abrams needs to learn to back off. Give the audience chance to breathe a little or at least try a different way to hold interest. As I see it Abrams just isn't skilled enough as a director to do what he is supposed to do. Of course he makes the whole viewing experience very dramatic and thrilling as possible. But he is destroying a lot of concepts and aspects of the Star Trek Universe that some hold very dear. It is one thing to reference or pay tribute. If not for the fact that Abrams kinda disrespects a lot of established mythologies and characters. I can see now why fans of the franchise have a lot of trouble accepting this course. Again this is a very thrilling and action packed movie that is extremely entertaining. Only not for the fans of the first hour. That is all I am going to say for now.
