STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS Disappoints At Box Office, Shame on All The Dumb Movie Goers

Yeah, I know that title is immature and a tiny bit incendiary, but come on people! I just went to the cinema last night to see STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS, and after devouring equal amounts of Pretzel M&Ms and half-melted Junior Mints, I left the movie in a haze of fan-elation. It’s honestly one of the best sequels I’ve ever seen. I would never want to tread on the honorable Star Wars faithful, but Into Darkness was everything that the Star Wars Prequels should have been: a maniacal super-villain, a crew of bickering spacefarers, and a few epic brawls.

And yet the latest Star Trek flick suffered a disappointing opening weekend with only $70 million. Where were the fans? Where were the recent converts? Since the movie was so damn amazing (in this humble fanboys opinion) I can only blame the massive gap between the original J.J. Abrams reboot and this sequel for the poor results.

I sure as hell want to see another romp in this franchise, so I’ll be at the 4:10, 6:40, and 9:00 o’clock showings tonight. Who’s gonna join me?
