- abrams has a proven track record of being able to make fun, action packed films. star trek into darkness very much felt like a star wars type adventure movie.
- it is being written by the same dude that wrote empire, in CONJUNCTION with the director.
- the trailer was fukkin awesome.
have some hope!
I'm actually not that big a fan of Abrams' Star Trek movies. The first one was decent popcorn entertainment but I found the second one sorely lacking. And even though I don't particularly care about Star Trek, I always thought it was kinda lame he basically turned them into (barely average) Star Wars movies.
I know Kasdan is writing it, but he hasn't written anything particularly worthwhile in a decade or two.
If by 'awesome' you mean 'alright'. Not to rain on anyone's parade but I'm long past getting excited over a minute of interchangeable special effects footage while a villain drops dramatic quotables.
The one man that saved STAR TREK & STAR WARS
Call a man the savior of Star Wars a full year before you'll even find out for sure, brehs.
Anyway, its gif time!
Didn't gif the girl part because my old ass shyt video splitter program didn't capture it properly.
