There are some titles up there that I forgot about and loved. As well as some movies I should like to see, hopefully they are on Netflix. Also, you may like Bronson and Clockwork Orange if you haven't already seen them.
Nashton, yes! I will add Clockwork Orange to my list. Not familiar with Bronson though. I'll look it up..
Star Trek was non stop action, and I will admit to ducking in my seat during one 3D sequence. The theatre (correct spelling in my country) gave applause more than a week after opening. The special effects nowadays can make any movie great but this one spared no expense. It was good story, good villain, good effects. I see a lot of movies at the theatre and would say this was top 3 of past year.
I enjoyed it but I'm sure I won't remember it in a year. The first movie in the "reboot" series was better, but I don't remember it very well either. I'm certainly losing my infatuation with 3D. It's great with animation, because in animation everything is in focus. "Avatar" was stunningly clear. But in a live-action movie it's impossible to have everything in focus, so everything behind or in front of the main action was blurry. I found it distracting! In real life our eyes adjust their focus in real time to clarify whatever part of our field of view we want to see, and it can shift instantly. We never actually see objects that are too close or too distant as blurs, because our eye muscles re-focus so quickly that whatever we're looking at is always in focus.
This looks like it's going be good. Elysium [video=youtube;hvGE2nP4ga8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvGE2nP4ga8[/video]
