Went with friends and saw new Star Trek last night. I have complete faith that J.J. will do a fine job with Star Wars.
My impressions of the film were simple. It's an alternative universe to the old Star Trek, so anything goes. I totally called who I thought the villain would be, and it didn't matter, it's all about the story. Action films of this much movement suck in 3D. Seriously, I'm tired of everything in 3D, It's cool sometimes, but every now and again I just want to enjoy a story and not feel a little ill at all the blurry movement I have to track. Enough ragging on that though.
So overall, great flick, would suggest everybody give it a chance and enjoy.
