LOL the haters. Excellent movie

Rating: 8/10 (21 July 2017)

I was quite surprised by all of the negativity in the reviews until I realized that most of it was from hardcore trekkie fans who are trashing the movie because it's not Gene Roddenberry's "vision" or w/e. I get that fans feel a certain way about the originals but I'm shocked that they can't appreciate JJ Abrams' movies as being good, albeit different. With most of the negative reviews being a 1/10, it reminds me of a bunch of toddlers who have gotten their toys taken away. If you put Into Darkness into your narrow box, expect to be disappointed. If you are open to enjoying the movie without expectations, expect to enjoy it! I remember my big concern was that the trailer gave away the plot but I was happily proved wrong and was very impressed with the character development and plot. There were a couple of things (like the warp battle) that lowered my overall score but it was a great movie. Definitely not a 1/10. Oh haters. ..
