STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS - Grading & Discussion [SPOILERS]

That's fandom's raison d'etre, isn't it?

 

How about we stop drawing conclusions that aren't in any way justified by what they said? To describe the film's action as "relentless" in no way suggests that there's nothing more to the movie than action. That's just putting the most negative and pessimistic spin on a statement that can be put on it, and that's truly sad.

If pointing that out makes you feel "attacked" - well, that's not my concern.

Nice.

 

James Cawley: Indepedently Wealthy Fanboi.

That was just dumb.

 

No problem.

I guess attack is not the appropriate word for what I was trying to describe. I believed he was trying to say my point wasn't valid because I haven't seen the film. I simply wanted to use those quotes to tease out more spoilers.

This is exactly what I want to hear.

 

I felt it was definitely an action-packed movie, yet somehow as well as (or in spite of) all that, it's ALL about the characters. I was also worried this movie would forsake character drama for action, but am happy to report that the action pivots around and super-charges the character journey, rather than the other way around.

 

Good to know. I guess they have to emphasise the action, to sell it to the masses.

 

In every interview I've read or watched, they always talk about all the character moments & interactions in the movie and how even though it has a lot of action, it's not just about that.

 

That James Cawley guy sounds like a douchebag.

I looked him up on Wikipedia and it seems his major accomplishment is being an uncredited extra.

Way to go, chief.

 

Next Thursday? You little ripper!

It seems to be the day for reviews today. They all sound good so far.

 

Im seeing a lot of adverts here in UK atm, looks like they are really ramping things up.

The reviews thus far are looking very positive. Some of those websites are big players so they aren't just trying to please the studio. We are well on the way to at least an 80+ score on rotten tomatoes imo. Star Trek 09 got 95%.

 

Hey U Guys! - 4 out of 5

Review suggests it would have been better without all the nods to the fans?

 

God that's a terribly written review.

Aside from praising the movie, the reviewer has exactly one observation to make. Every single paragraph after the first one repeats his thesis, without advancing or exploring it in any way. Every single paragraph. Repeat, repeat, repeat - ten paragraphs, ten repetitions.

It's tedious and amateurish.

 

Dear JJ- Next time, you can save yourself a LOT of time, trouble and money with all that secrecy. I've been completely spoiled now and I'm STILL going to plunk down $$$ to see your film 2 or 3 times.

 

If the spoilers and entertainment weakly (sic) are to be believed, it seems the writers are not rewriting but just editing whole series and seasons into condensed hour movies. (taking into acount the time lost for lens flares, and oooooh aaaaaahh special effect budgets).

it is like taking the entire DS9 changling war arch and shrinking it down to shape shifters attack, federation fights back, odo makes piece wearing a tuxedo, the end. In ten minutes.

I am disappointed they just appear to have sliced and diced, again assuming the spoilers are true, it is very discouraging to pay money to see this. It is down grading it to a "whenever" on tv if ever movie. we shall see how this pans out.
