   	The source is people going to see a movie and obviously many or most of   
   them enjoying it as their buzz didn't kill the movie flat, which happens   
   if most or all of your moviegoers hate the experience.   
      
   	So anything someone says about the movie is unlikely to "educate" anyone.   
      
   	Me, I enjoyed both Trek 2009 and the sequel Into Darkness.
