Please disappear into Darkness

Rating: 4/10 (18 May 2013)

This film was covered in Abrams blue lens flare rash, but suffered even more from The Hobbit syndrome. The main symptom being it's over use of mindless action climax's so when the final one come's it is underwhelming, all emotive value is lost, and I just don't care anymore. The acting was unbalanced, Benedict delivering a great performance, while the others seemed to have eaten cartoons for breakfast. We were re-united with Anton Yelchin and his fake European accent, reminding me of all the time's I wanted to punch myself in the face. The visuals were great of course, but that can't be saving movies these days. It did have it's moments, particularly some interactions between Pine and Cumberbatch, but it seems Abrams spent more time thinking about where he could put his lens flare's in each scene as opposed to hearing how bad the dialogue was. I know this is a mindless action film that will do great in the box office, but to me this makes it a nothing film, it holds nothing valuable enough for it to be remembered in a few years time. It will fade into the darkness of past shitnema.
