Director and writer, please stop doing cocaine or SF movies
20 February 2016 | by (Mountain) – See all my reviews

I don't know what is the deal with the ratings: -people didn't watch old ones? -everybody just want mindless entertainment? -people are not interested in the plot? -I am too old (31y)? -Fake ratings? or combination of all! As other stated this is not a sequel but a remake proving how easy is to make money recycling with the help of marketing. This is basically all of the story parts from first 3 movies put into one. Since there was no new plot or anything like that, untalented moneymaker groomed for that position - J.J. Abrams did same thing with Star Trek, destroyed few cornerstones of franchise to produce shock and "bring" appearance of "new" to it. The plot is so similar that looks like Abrams watched original 3 movies on more cocaine than Charlie Sheen ever had, and than made everything 10 times bigger. This makes movie laughable, predictable, dumb, to audience that watched originals. Also it is false marketing because of the same plot. And disbelief persist during movie because it keeps You waiting when the new part is coming!

I would give it maybe 6 for the people that haven't watched first 3 movies and they don't intend to. But it gets 1 because it is false advertising and I left the cinema with feeling that I am cheated for money. Which is correct as the movie is marketed and labeled as sequel while in fact it is bizarre remake.

So please mister J.J. Abrams start living healthy and don't do cocaine or at least do not ruin anymore classics!
