I enjoyed the mashes at the end. Usually I don't bother to watch them, just close the window after the sentencing, but they were great.
I was actually talking about the reviewers views on Takeis view of NuSulu in Beyond. Pretty funny. But I think the scene you are posting here was one of the few interesting scenes you could do without effects.
I always say, if I can watch the CinemaSins and say, "Yes, but it was still enjoyable," that marks a good movie. Beyond passed that test. Yes, it has flaws (a friend and I debated this when it came out), but I thought it was ultimately very enjoyable and a worthy successor to Star Trek (2009).
"This girl lied to Kirk, but she did it for good reasons yet apparently I'm supposed to be glad she's dying." Ummm... What good reasons? Piracy, murder and terrorism?
Exactly!! These days, if a movie has flaws, people seem to think it's horrible and rubbish and should be burned. Nothing in life is perfect. To a degree, I can accept the flaws if the movie itself had me cheering, crying, terrified, horrified, shocked or any other way touched.
That's a great way to put it. So often the films that I enjoy often have the longest lists of film mistakes, errors, editing, or whathaveyou. That's part of the art of film is not just what the story and characters are, but how they engage me in a way that I can ignore the flaws. Why is usually why my list of films that I like exists in at a weird right angle to other views
