Though a few of the longer summer blockbusters have been redeeming, most movies over 150 minutes simply aren't well-edited. There's no reason for a Pirates or a Spider-Man to approach three hours, other than unchecked vanity.
J.J. Abrams is taking that approach to heart, revealing to MTV that Star Trek won't be an all-day sucker.
"It will be a two hour movie. I'm sick of these two hours and forty-five minute movies," says the man who helped waste about six months of our time on season three of Lost. "Seriously, it's like, I don't have enough time to stay two hours and forty-five minutes. I'm exhausted just saying that twice. I can't stand it."
Good for him, and for us. That's not to say there isn't room for an epic now and then, but Pirates 3 doesn't need to be as long as The Godfather. Miracle at St. Anna would've felt
