I don’t think JJ Abrams is a great director necessarily, but boy did he course correct this franchise. Abrams’ sense of vision counts for an awful lot in film and television. This is fun. Great movie. Also completely forgettable. I saw this in theatres 20 years ago when it came out and remember seeing it, but recall nothing else about it at all. So I know I’ll forget this again in a few months.
That’ll be a great excuse to watch it again, though.
