Free Software fundamentally misses the point. It fails on a practical, ideological, economic, and political level. Let’s examine precisely how (in a slightly different order for the purposes of presentation).

Directors can be either refer to name or the quality they exhibit the most, for Michael Bay those are the explosions, for M. Night Shyamalan are the unexpected twists and for J. J. Abrams are the lens flares. Actually, they were lens flares. ↩ Reply

To the people complaining, the concerns are understood. There was especially a gross breach of them during a big and important speech. People complained, so he stopped with them. Even for such an impediment, the film wins out to the viewers (as can be seen from the 2.5 times box office return). That has to do with the flow of the film. In retrospect, they did not matter that much. ↩ Reply

What was of real interest was the fact the film's plot moves from one point to another, leaving the viewers guessing what is about to happen. The glue between the scenes was the superb sense of flow J. J. Abrams has. I struggle to mentally recount all the ways he managed to seamlessly interconnect the shots. Even on the macro scale, by focusing on having the story be fleshed out before the getting on with the filming, made the job of making each scene flow from to another seamlessly easier. ↩ Reply

The film exists in the same universe as the previous installment of Star Trek by J. J. Abrams, which prior knowledge is not a requirement to enjoy the sequel. This is more of a Transformers territory, where the whole franchise has series extending set-ups and pay-offs. With 2 films, there was not much of a pay-off that could've been done. With what was set up, the resolution was had, providing an excellent experience those who saw the first film and followed the Star Trek franchise as a whole . ↩ Reply

In sense, J. J. Abrams is less of a lens flare or blockbuster science fiction director and more so a person giving new life to already established franchises, be it Mission: Impossible, Star Wars, or Star Trek. Just don't have him finish the films, he doesn't really know how to do that. ↩ Reply

I leave you with a farewell. ↩ Reply
Space, the final frontier. 
These are the voyages of the J. J. Abrams
Its 20 year mission
To explore strange new worlds
To seek out new films
And new installments
To boldly go where no man has gone before.
To the *[The Great Beyond](https://w.wiki/HbUn)*

Horror and thrillers seem to be quite ubiquitous in recent times. Nosferatu, a classic from 1920s cinema, has spawned a lot of recreations, making it modern. Yet they fail to see Nosferatu is not horror... at least not in the way the term is usually used.

We all know that James Cameron is a master when it comes to making sequels. His films like Terminator 2, Avatar 2 and Aliens are extremely good examples of how to make a sequel right. Unlike Steven Spielberg that avoids sequels. Steven avoided doing the second Jaws movie. James Cameron goes for it and wins. Speaking of Steven Spielberg's Jaws, not only sequels from that film were produced. Rip-offs, like the 1978 Piranha by Joe Dante also were produced. Those were parody material B-movie exploitation films. And so writer / director James Cameron decided to take the project of making a sequel to that Jaws rip-off, with his 1982 Piranha II: The Spawning.
