I went into this movie wondering whether I would be wasting my money on another cheesey remake of a 90's flick. I can say I spent my money well. This is a very good movie. I have never read the comics, so I can't say whether this movie follows them or not. It is, however, a very dark, gritty, and violent movie. *** Folks that have an adversion to blood and gore should NOT go to see this movie! ***
Karl Urban is great in the role as Dredd. Viewers can expect none of the hokey dialog that you see in the 1995 "Judge Dredd" with Sly Stallone. There are a couple of slow spots in the movie, but the action scenes more than make up for these.
The 3D effects are very good (some are quite spectacular) but not "overdone". Those of you who see the movie in 2D will miss out on some really cool effects, but overall won't miss out on a very good movie.
Pros well paced, great story, great actors, nice 3d effects
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Outstanding new take on the Star Trek Universe!

I have to admit I was a little sceptical about going to see this movie at first. I thought it would be a lot of re-hash of the Kirk-Spock-McCoy story line from original series and previous movies. I have to admit that I was very pleasently surprised! Without giving too much away about the movie, the writers and J.J. Abrams have given Star Trek a fresh new start and direction! It will be very interesting where they take the new storyline from here! I look forward to the next movie!!! (Also, if you have the chance, see it in IMAX! It is worth the couple of extra dollars for the experience!)
Yes, I recommend this movie.
