Don't believe all the negative reviews

Rating: 9/10 (18 December 2017)

Had I not pre-ordered my tickets I might not have gone to see this movie in the theater.
I saw how low so many of the ratings were I went in expecting the worst. This movie was anything but the worst. It exceeds the writing of the last movie by a long shot. Writing and story telling are what this movie did well.
From a long time fan of space sci-fi, please ignore the reviews, avoid the spoilers, and just go see it for yourself.
