how much it moved you
Two separate readings, not parts of the score β the score says how much of it held you, these say what kind of watch it was.
Nobody has rated this on FlickFeel yet. This is public discussion of this title, read into a curve. It is not a rating and it never becomes one.

βKirk's death scene was incredibly well acted by Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto. I think they just get better and better. I have incredible respect for both of them as actors. Does anyone else here think it's harder for men to generate sympathy onscreen while crying? I think they did a brilliant job, and I think there's still a gender bias against "real men" shedding tears during an emotional scene in a movie. Glad to see that JJ and company ignored that bias. The scene blew me away. I really did think Kirk might be killed off, and his death would be somehow tied to the next movie, a la "ST: III - Search for Spock"β

βThe movie peaked for me when they were on Kronos. The Klingon fight followed by khan's manipulation on the enterprise was spectacular.β

Published reviews, not felt experience β a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
βThe result is a stunningly nervy sequel that vaporizes any worries that Abramsβ terrific 2009 reboot was a fluke.β

βYes, this one is even better: funnier, brawnier and ingeniously constructed for appeal to both devoted fans and reluctant converts.β

βInto Darkness is a sleek, thrilling epic that's also a triumphantly witty popcorn morality play. It's everything you could want in a Star Trek movie.β
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly Β· 100
βMarkedly grander in scale, although never at the expense of its richly human (and half-human) characters, βInto Darknessβ may not boldly go where no βTrekβ adventure has gone before, but getting there is such a well-crafted, immensely pleasurable ride that it would be positively Vulcan to nitpick.β

βStar Trek Into Darkness is a giddy homage to whatβs come before it, but it also at least tries to go boldly where ... well, you know.β

βI will own up to actually quite enjoying this. It has less of the holier-than-thou moralism of some of the "Star Trek" features and is basically just a sci-fi adventure that pitches Chris Pine ("Kirk") and his crew against enemies as they say - both foreign and domestic! The dynamic between Pine and "Spock" (Zachary Quinto) still doesn't quite work for me; but Karl Urban makes for quite a good "McCoy" complete with all his daft metaphors. (The less said about Simon Pegg's "Scotty", the better - β
