I noticed a lot of characters interrupting or talking over each other in natural situations in these movies. I agree it didn't happen in any of the series or movies very often before, but it seemed completely normal to me here. The grammar was fine, I didn't think it sounded any differently than normal. People don't often speak with incorrect grammar except in certain accents or having grown up with English as a second language. None of these characters grew up in those areas nor spoke English as a second language, so they talked fine. Obviously, I haven't scoured the movie for bad grammar, but nothing egregious or too perfect popped up on my radar. I will say this conversation reminds me of this xkcd comic:
I'm not sure modern movies should try to emulate The Big Lebowski. It works sometimes but "realism" isn't always preferable.
1. Not sure I understand what you mean. In what way would you say that movie is being emulated? 2. I know each individual has their own personal milestones to mark what's new, older, really old, etc., but if The Big Lebowski isn't a modern movie, then what is it?
No, no. I mean, Lebowski had a very distinct way with the dialogue, full of stops and misspeak, etc. It was intentional, of course, and fully scripted, but what I was saying to Admiral Buzzkill was that Trek's 'clean' dialogue wasn't necessarily a bad thing, or rather than the polar opposite, while ok for certain movies or series, wasn't necessarily right for Trek.
