Too long for two cut-ups
PostedJanuary 23, 2010

While I enjoyed the parts where Downey and Jude Law played comic sibling rivals, the story was overly complicated, the fight scenes went on and on, and I lost interest in the movie after 2 hours. What could have been better edited into a tight mystery, was instead a mash-up of conflicting subplots.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Best 3-D Movie of the Year
PostedDecember 26, 2009

from Chicago, IL
Incredible animation and use of the Live 3D to enhance the action and even add a light moment or two makes this the best 3D movie I've seen since Beowolf. But the story plot is rather thin and the action moves back and forth with little attention to continuity, which makes this a somewhat less than perfect experience. Overall, a great holiday movie and be sure to buy tickets to the 3D showing as there were a lot of disappointed people at the theater who had inadvertently bought tickets to the non-3D showings of this movie.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Great rebooting of Star Trek Mythology
PostedMay 20, 2009

While not much of Trekkie, I looked forward to seeing this movie because of my general interest in the TV series and having seen all of the previous Star Trek movies. Also, the idea that this would start before the time of the original Star Trek series and create a new mythololgy to help explain and elaborate on the existing series, was quite intriguing to me.
I must say, after having seen it, that it was successful in fulfilling all of my hopes and expectations. Possibly more, as now I can rewatch the earlier series and movies with this new set of historical contexts in mind and see how well they play out after the fact in those pre-existing shows. Bravo to JJ Abrams and the subperb cast on a job well done
