Mini Review of ST: Darkness. With No Spoilers.

4 out of 5.
Everything that Iron Man 3 should have been and wasn't. I'm still furious with that
Mandarin twist. It was not a twist, just very poor writing.
While this visited some previous stories they took them and
put a twist on them and made it work . They took those old ideas and with this new timeline
it became a "What if" if we did this and that. And Bazinga! A brand new Adventure!
I heard a lot of complaints about the third act. I don't get it. It kicked Ass.
And man, it had surprises! Even I didn't see them coming.

$200M budget and every penny on the screen to show for it with great directing from JJ,
good writing with lots of nudge nudge winks winks, the actors had their fun share with Scotty having his spotlight and LOTS of action. And you don't have to be a Trekker to enjoy.
But it helps, LOL...
Note: I skipped the 3D and had a heck of a time. And yes it's getting added to my Blu-ray
collection.

Live Long and enjoy the movie. Full review on Monday with the usual spoilers, lol.
