So, we’ve already seen a number of the big summer movies so far…here’s the brief-est review I’ve ever done on them.

STAR TREK – I liked it a whole lot, and the Jim was not so enthused about it.  I felt it made the Spock character so much more alluring; the Jim thought it took all the cerebral content out of the Star Trek mythos.  I thought it was a good summer movie, lots of explosions, good characterizations and fun…but perhaps a tad mindless.  *** out of 4 Stars.

TERMINATOR SALVATION – It was…okay. I must admit, I’ve only ever seen T2 and that is it.  I know the story arc though, so I figured it would be easy to manage.  The two things that stick with me from this film is how relentless the Terminators are and how depressing the future appears.  Again, the Jim was far from enthused.  It appears his suspension of disbelief isn’t as strong these days.  ** out of 4 Stars.

ANGELS & DEMONS – I liked it!  I was surprised.  It was a good story if not a bit of a stretch.  The visuals were great, the art awesome, the movie made me want to go to Europe big time.  Now there was a slashy-slashy bit that I wasn’t into, but over all it was an enjoyable little mystery chase movie.  The Jim actually LIKED this one, mostly because the plot took some directions he wasn’t expecting and he liked that.  *** out of 4 Stars.

This week brings us UP and I can’t wait to see that.  Chime in…what Summer Movies are ones NO ONE should miss?
