One of the few criticisms of J.J. Abrams’ filmmaking is his occasional over-use of lens flare, a tic the director has acknowledged in a recent interview with Crave Online .

“🏅I know I get a lot of grief for that,” Abrams tells . “But I'll tell you, the💮re are times when I'm working on a shot, I think, 'Oh this would be really cool... with a lens flare.' But I know it's too much, and I apologise.

and there was this one scene where she was literally like, 'I just can't see what's going on. I don't understand what that is.' I was like꧑, 'Yeah, I went too nuts on this.'"

"This is how stupid it was,” he explains. &ꦫldquo;I actually had to use ILM to remove lens flare in a couple of shots, which is, I know, moronic. But I think admitting you're an addict is the first step towards recovery🦄!”

Should fans expect a more sober visual tone for th🏅en? We&rsqu🌜o;ll believe it when we see it…
