Star Trek is the biggest exception here, but Abrams generally fails to stick the landing with the various projects he has overseen and directed. Lost's finale was wildly divisive - and personally, I loathed it - while Cloverfield closed in the most rotely predictable manner possible, and Super 8 felt like something of an anti-climax. These three projects all have something in common - they were great fun and had tremendous promise, but fell apart at the tail-end, tainting our view of what had come before. So, even if we're 90-something minutes into Episode 7 and all seems to be well, there's still going to be that creeping paranoia that Abrams won't be able to end things on a strong note. Star Trek's close proved us wrong, so let's hope that wasn't just a fluke.
