Two Great Reviews In German

[Aike]

The first reviews from the German speaking part of the world are in. And they are great.

Filmering.at gave it 9/10 (Austrian site I guess).

Movienerd.de also gave it 9/10.

I am sorry I don´t know what the actual reviews are saying so I am hoping some of the German speaking people here could translate.

The first sentence is "Star trek is dead--long live Star Trek!"

After that, you're on your own. Sorry.

You asked and you shall receive:

Basically they're saying that this is everything Abrams promised about the movie.
It's a successful restart of the franchise catering to not-yet-fans mostly but old fans will enjoy it,too, if they are willing to accept that the original (sixties) charm recreated is not what this movie is about.
It loses some minor points because of a slow and uneven start, with the exception of the opening battle. But it kicks into high gear (pun intended) once the crew gets into space.
And some minor logic errors aside it's a great movie.

Die audiovisuelle Gewalt des Films ist brutal und doch haben wir es hier mit keinem leeren Effektfeuerwerk zu tun. Die Wiedergeburt von Star Trek lebt von ihren Charakteren, den grandiosen Schauspielleistungen und einer Geschichte, die sich auf das Wesentliche konzentriert und dabei vollends punktet!

"The film's audio-visual force is brutal and yet, this is no hollow visual effects bonanza. The rebirth of Star Trek runs on its characters, the superb acting and a story that focuses on the essentials, making it an absolute winner!"

Again, promising enthusiasm. And since I have now read several reviews that mentioned the plot was simple and straight-forward, I wonder all the more what film the folks at IGN.com saw... They found the plot "labyrinthine" and would've preferred it were "Blow up the Death Star" simple. Oh well...

Nice translation!

Although I hate Denglisch...

Denglisch? Heh, good thing I came to school today; I hadn't heard the term before.

It makes sense that it would happen, though, as it does with many languages (including English.)

Thanks for the translations guys. It seems like the good reviews are coming in from every country the promotion tour has been to so far.

Hopefully, the mainstream critics and the 15-30-year-old will like it too.

"..gesellen sich obligatorisch gute Special Effects und bombastische Actionsequenzen, die niemals langweilig oder abgedroschen wirken."

Plus "Kinohighlights".

Just sayin'.

But I guess that's just the Zeitgeist we live in...

Now the French, there's a culture that loves its lingo. Was the premiere there already?

Enough off-topic, tut mir Leid!

^^ Well, this way, any non-German speaker will be able to fathom from this review that there ARE special effects and action sequences in this movie. Isn't that all that counts?

And it just goes to show that we Germans don't even notice it anymore when we're using English words all the time... That's globalization for you. Or something...

It is inevitable... The Russian of today is totally different from Soviet times. Language evolves (or devolves) constantly...

Still doesn't take away from your excellent translation...

I saw a couple of things, but it didn't seem to me to be excessive. Liked this, though:

J.J. Abrams gelang es der festgefahrenen Star Trek Reihe ein Facelifting und einem Neustart zu unterziehen...

They're German. It's Star Trek. They're required by a 1979 amendment to the Grundgesetz to like it.

 

[Eddie Roth]

^^ If only! Until 1987, only 40 or so of the original episodes had even aired in Germany! We only got the remaining ones when you Americans already watched TNG! (Gosh, crazy that!)

But no, Star Trek in general is well-liked in Germany, although (as everywhere) not as popular as some other franchises.
