This movie made me so happy. After Into Darkness I was apprehensive about the Star Trek franchise because Into Darknesslost its way in trying to appeal to both Trekkies and the mass market. It tried too hard to be one classic (The Wrath of Khan) that it ended up being another classic (The Undiscovered Country) but with less of the heart that would have appealed to Star Trek fans because it just missed the mark, it missed the intent of Gene Roddenberry‘s work. Moreover, with this film, when I heard that they were doing reshoots after it initially wrapped up, which usually almost always spells out doom for a movie. However, you wouldn’t know it watching this film, because whatever they had to go and fix, they nailed it, and they brought back what Gene Roddenberry intended, they brought back hope, they brought back peace, and unity, and everything else that Gene Roddenberry intended when he first created Star Trek.

But besides that, the film was not only action packed but it had sexual tension, comedy and action rolled up into one neat little package.

By: Kristy Puchko With January typically relegated as a dumping ground for movies that the studios can’t figure out, no one at Cinema Blend was looking forward to Tommy Wirkola‘s delayed revisionist fairy tale Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters…except for me. I’d enjoyed the Norwegian director’s bizarre and bloody brand of humor in the Nazi-zombie movie Dead Snow, and I can’t get enough of Jeremy Renner.
