Oh dear

Rating: 2/10 (12 May 2013)

this film didn't do it for me. it did for most of the audience in the cinema, but it didn't for me. a lady two seats down from me applauded at the end, so perhaps you go with the majority view and you'll enjoy it. from where i sat, the strengths included the visuals and nothing else. the weaknesses were 1) dialogue 2) not enough time given to developing the Cumberbatch character. 3) kirk 4) i don't want to ruin the end for anyone, but i don't buy in to how Cumberbatch's character was (shall we say) subdued or overcome. for some reason, reviews have to be 10 lines of text and so I'll repeat the above to fill up the space. this film didn't do it for me. it did for most of the audience in the cinema, but it didn't for me. a lady two seats down from me applauded at the end, so perhaps you go with the majority view and you'll enjoy it. from where i sat, the strengths included the visuals and nothing else. the weaknesses were 1) dialogue 2) not enough time given to developing the Cumberbatch character. 3) kirk 4) i don't want to ruin the end for anyone, but i don't buy in to how Cumberbatch's character was (shall we say) subdued or overcome.
