I didn't go to the theater last week. Instead I stayed home and watched some awesome movies. I also bought Fists of Fury and Gojira at my local discount book store. Now that's what I call a good weekend. So what's coming out this week?
1) STAR TREK - INTO DARKNESS: The crew of the Enterprise must face an internal threat to the Federation.
The Good: Watch the trailer. Action. Glorious action.
The Bad: It's still this "alternate reality" Star Trek.
Final Thoughts: I could go on forever about why I think this "alternate reality" is a bad idea. I know why they did it; to attract a new base of fans. Generally speaking, I want to see the Star Trek universe expand and grow; not necessarily start from the beginning except radically different. I think this is going to be a very good movie. But I'm afraid I'm just going to be one of those guys that just can't enjoy it as much as I would like; not because of anything particularly wrong with the movie itself, but just what it isn't the Star Trek I grew up watching. It's completely unfair. I acknowledge that. It's just how I feel.
2) ERASED: An ex-CIA agent and his daughter are targeted for termination and they must fight to stay alive.
The Good: I don't know. How much did you like Taken?
The Bad: It's about as formulaic a story as it gets.
Final Thoughts: It's not worth your time.
See you at the movies
