This newest entry into the Star trek franchise was released to coincide with the 50th anniversary of Star Trek. I wish they had spent more time developing a better story. The effects were great, but overall not the best film of this trilogy. It is definitely worth seeing if you are a fan of the genre or the franchise.
I bought this movie because I am a fan of the originals, and wanted to see if the controversy was warranted about this reboot. The effects were good, but it seems like they used too much green screen, and not enough practical effects. It was also missing the 'feel' of the originals. On it's own, I think it is worth seeing, just forget about the original version.
First things first, THIS MOVIE IS NOT FOR KIDS! If you are an adult who likes comedy movies that are a hard 'R', this is for you. You don't need to know anything about comics to enjoy this movie! It explains everything as it goes along. It does loosely connect to the X-men film franchise, but you don't need to have seen those to enjoy this.
I saw this for the first time in 2016. I remember it from when I was a kid, but never got around to seeing it until this year. Prince's death was tragic and unexpected, but he left us with some great music and movies. This is one of them.
There was some controversy over the theatrical release of this movie. Approx. 30 minutes was restored to it upon it's home video release, making it an R-rated movie. These restored story elements made for a smoother movie. This also is the set-up for the forthcoming Justice League movie. Never before have Batman And Superman been in the same movie together. I really enjoyed this movie! And the Best Buy exclusive steelbook is awesome, too!
I am a comic book collector and enjoy these movie adaptations of classic stories from the comics. I like the Captain America movies the best. They keep getting better with each release.
