Star Trek Beyond

[Killed_by_Death]

LOL, that reminds me a production of The Tempest that I went to see locally. Much of the dialogue was impromptu and possible ad lib.
They had done it up to be a Space Age production & they were looking on a screen and the gal says she's reading two blips, but then she was unsure.
The retort was "Two blips, or not two blips?" & it brought the house down.

Sounds like the Enterprise is destroyed in this movie. I wonder if this leads up to the Enterprise A or the refit.

yeah, i think i'm more bothered by that! as i recall, in TOS the enterprise ends up being the only constitution-class ship to survive long term.

are they flying around in the jalopy from the "enterprise" TV show afterwards?

From the previews it looks like the saucer section survives. I wonder if that's where the refit comes in, where the motion picture starts off.

Happy release day!

Finally seen Into Sherlock and re-seen the re-first. Again, meh. Neither did utterly black-hole-suck, but...big fat but. And again, yeah JJ, not your father's Star Trek, I got it already. Care to lose the habit of wiping your behind with everything you find dumb with the original franchise? Granted, you're preaching to a different choir than the '60s and '90s sci-fi watching ones. In a way, this is actually your grampa's Star Trek.
This said, I'll watch the new one on Monday.

How the hell did your device auto correct "darkness" into "Sherlock"?



Oh, cuz of Cumberbatch. Duh. That's hilarious.

Off to see it today!

 

[Gorn]

I might go with my dad. We hate seeing movies on opening weekends but maybe this one won't be crowded on a Sunday morning.

 

[ubernator]

I went on Thursday for $5, score!

All reboot star trek is going to be fast action starwars prequel trilogy style, it's just the way sci fi movies are nowadays. Always one upping each other on action sequences like extreme metal bands do with complex riffage.

Cool guys don't look at explosions, they turn their back and walk away.

And there is some "beats and shouting", classical music.

The space station is like a cool mash up of dyson sphere ish and courescant. This new universe with Vulcan destroyed must have made room for CGI advances. Or maybe that is just OUR universe advancing?

I just tried to go see it with my dad. The theater was jam packed with only a few scattered seats in the front. We got a refund and left. Try again next Sunday.

 

[ubernator]

I bought tickets in advance and got there 45 minutes early and waited in line.

Some theaters here now have reserved seating, but this one didn't.

 

[Gorn]

I've never waited in line for a movie. No thank you. I'll wait weeks of need be. Or wait till I can see it at home some how.

Karl Urban did such a good job of playing an American playing a Trekker that I never recognised him. He is quite the chameleon, too busy to audition for James Bond when Daniel Craig got the job.

Eomer! And Harold Li the milf guy #2, young kyle Reese (rip that's sad, fn jeep)

Lots of talent on the bridge.

RIP Ambassador Spock and USS Enterprise.

 

[Gorn]

Finally saw this. It lived up to my expectations. Utter crap. Shiny, explosioney, punchy garbage. A terrible, terrible movie. I'm almost glad Gene Roddenberry wasn't around to see what has become of his beautiful vision of the future. I hope Star Trek Discovery can redeem the franchise. I really do.

 

[Gorn]

On further reflection, it wasn't the worst thing ever. I have to think about it for a while.

 

[rodv66]

Was ok, but the part about using the Beastie Boys to save the Federation was lame. Now if it was Motorhead, Sex Pistols or Maiden, that would have made sense.

 

[Killed_by_Death]

The Ramones could pull it off before the Pistols, and Black Sabbath in lieu of Maiden.
