If I hadn't seen the previews for this movie, then I may have given this 4 stars. Unfortunately the trailers for the film are completely misleading because about 90% of what's in the trailers is not in the film. There were many scenes that were left out, to the point where the movie barely ties in to part of the storyline where the girls talked about how their house burned down. Even the burning of the house is shown in the trailers, but it's not in the movie. The scene where the demonologist talks about how the house isn't safe and his head is bashed into the table isn't there. The scene where the wife is thrown into the bedroom from the doorway isn't there. The scene where the little girl jumps off the second story wall isn't there either. Also the part where both the little girls play bloody mary isn't in there either. Also, the whole premise where a shadow is seen in the poster, and in the trailers doesn't even show up in the movie. I have a big feeling there's going to be a big uproar about how the trailer for the movie completely misrepresented what was actually shown in theaters.
Yes there are a couple negatives to this movie, but those are so minute that they aren't worth mentioning...This movie was incredible!
The sounds were amazing, and somewhat frightening! The way the movie was filmed made me feel as if I was there. If you go see this movie...go see it in an IMAX sized screening!
The plot was great...especially for those who don't know what's coming. Unfortunately I read a lot about this movie to know the whos and whats of the plot...so nothing came to me as a surprise.
This is the best Star Trek Movie I have seen yet, and I've seen them all! I am not sure how this will lead the storyline of the franchise now that tons of things have been changed due to the timeline being modified, but it seems as if fate still managed to bring the crew together! Go see it and become completely satisfied!
