"It wasn’t just spectacle. It wasn’t just the horror of ghosts haunting your family and snatching your kid. It wasn’t just about aliens coming to this planet. It wasn’t just about these thieves of a lost treasure and a flying pirate ship. These were movies that were about, often, friends, friendship, parents, children. And at some point in those films, usually towards the end, you would find yourself with tears in your eyes in a movie that had things that were preposterously genre at their core. And that, to me, is the thing that isn’t as present as it used to be—the emotional core coexisting with the visual spectacle. That I love."

J.J. Abrams (talking about the summer blockbusters of his childhood)

"The beauty of what he created is that sense of optimism and diversity. It was refreshing to work on a film that had a bighearted approach to the future—to show a future you’d actually like to live in, as opposed to many films where you think, I’ll pass."

J.J. Abrams (on Gene Roddenberry & Star Trek)
