With just a little fine tuning in the character development department, Abrams actually allows us to care
about each character and mission, using every tool in his arsenal to put us in the center of the action, forcing us to marvel at the awesome spectacle of each set piece with solid intrigue, and even a touch of
nervous anticipation.
There is nothing like the
nervous anticipation of an impending storm to make a person think
about all they value in life and how to protect it.
