Perhaps it's in the nature of television. Just waves in space.
The first JJTrek movie is probably the best Star Trek movie besides Wrath of Khan

I won't lie, 2009 Trek was a good movie.. then Into Darkness came out.

Yeah, Into Darkness is insanely boring. I don't think it makes 2009 worse, though

I saw Interstellar in 70mm IMAX and I think that really colored my opinion of the movie. When the emotional scenes are swelling with music that is literally shaking my rib cage, I feel it. Every single space scene was beyond gorgeous.

It's definitely cliched, and definitely is a little too long, but it hit a lot of the right notes for me.

Makes me wonder if he did it to somewhat emulate his grand daddy Vader, which would also be dumb as hell

How can you possibly not realize this is the literal entire point of his character? Be honest, you were on your phone throughout the entire movie, weren't you?

I really like the idea of Kylo Ren, because the main villain being an angsty little poo poo with daddy issues playacting as his famous villain grandfather could make a pretty interesting character study in the right hands.

I'm just not sure the people making these films can actually do the idea justice.

Rian Johnson is a much better director than JJ, so I have hope for the next one.

The third one is going to be poo poo, though.
