I was not too excited about seeing this movie, and it certainly was not on my to see list, but thank goodness I saw it, well, honestly I was going to see it anyway. In any event, from the antimatter research center to the costumes , I was really impressed with the over all production of the film. The production really delivered the essence of Rome, even though I have never visited Rome.
The pace was great; there was no lag, or boredom, and the major parts of the film such as antimatter were explained expeditiously and clearly. I don't think this film was suspenseful, but the sense of urgency in the plot was pronounced through the skillful detective work of Professor Langdon, as he deciphered the significance of one symbol to the next.
Overall this film was fun, fast paced, well acted, and very entertaing. According to metacritic.com, the film earned generally mixed reviews, and rottentomatoes.com granted the film 65 fresh to 110 rotten tomatoes thus far. Good stuff. I'll score it an 85. Stay tuned, movieporium.blogspot.com.
Seemingly, what distinguished this film from the previous films was the absence of lag. It seems like Abram's kept this in mind, and directed the film so that in every scene there was something essential and entertaining occurring. In the other Star Trek films that I have scene, I remember the lag, for at some point the pace of the film would slow down, and it would become slightly boring. Certainly, that is not the case in this film.
The casting was impeccable but William Shatner should of had a cameo .Even though detecting Eric Bana took some time on my part. It was difficult not to like the cast. My favorite was Simon Pegg as Scotty. With that said, it seems like this is a lightning in a bottle type casting. According metacritic.com the film received generally favorable reciews, rottentomatoes.com granted the film 195 fresh tomatoes to 9 rotten ones thus far. Awesome. I'll grade it a 95.

It all began when Lisa(Larter) and Derek(Elba) met in the elevator. After chatting briefly, Derek discovers Lisa is a temp, but later Derek also discovers Lisa has an obsessive character that has focused on capturing is affection by intruding into his life. From spying on Derek's telephone calls, to unwanted sexual advances , Lisa wanted Derek at any cost, even if it meant splitting him from his wife, but of course his wife felt differently.
Steady and slow but interesting, interesting but not extraordinary, Obsessedwas simply entertaining. The story was predictable, and it could have benefited from a plot twists. There were no surprises to spark the the mind into amazement.Obsessed had an unappealing and ineffectual sex scene (if it could be considered that) that could have added a strong basis for conflict in the story, which could have also been the climax of the film. Notably this is a sanitized tale of fatal attraction, that features great acting that could have served the audience better with an R rating. This film was simply entertaining. I'll rate it a 72.
