I have this fantasy in my head where this one will be the reboot's Wrath of Khan (and did ANYONE predict that Wrath would be as great as it turned out to be especially after the snorefest that was the first movie?) I like to think that Abrams dealt with expectations by creating something that would hook new watchers while not alienating old fans and for the most part he did that. Damn there are alot of movies next year that will either overjoy us all or break our damn hearts but that is the way things always are for the devoted.Kalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00663751053844271849noreply@blogger.com
