Because some films just can't be bashed enough...

I'm not fond of the new film, and even I find this childish.

I love the new film, and I find this okay. Though it would be better if it was animated.

 

[Tom Servo]

I think he is just angry that the film was not a train wreck, but a complete success...

 

[Gepard]

Though it would be better if it was animated.

SpockBoy already did that on YouTube a long time ago, and it was clever and funny. I guess this just pales by comparison.

 

[iguana_tonante]

The picture is funny. Capitan Roberto, on the other hand...

 

[largo]

i liked the new film, and kitsune udon is delicious.

 

[PixelMagic]

Photoshop skills could use some work. And I'm sorry you are too purist to enjoy a separate take on Star Trek.

 

[sojourner]

the scaling looks about right!

I love it captain robert april!

 

[JJohnson]

I like. Just use one of the remastered Enterprises that the various artists have used on this board in the same image, and it'd be even better. The movie was nice, but that new Enterprise can't match the beauty of the original.

 

[ST-One]

Yeah, we get it, you don't like the new Star Trek.

 

[Blip]

Christ, I can't stand most of the new film after the initial scenes with the Kelvin, but I have to agree that's some pretty childish Calvin-esque piddling going on right there.

For heaven's sake grow up.

 

[ncc-1017-e]

^ Give me a break!

 

[Blip]

Give yourself a break, I wasn't talking to you.

 

[ncc-1017-e]

^ Sure you are infact we all are talking to the whole world!

 

[Forbin]

Too bad so many people can't muster a sense of humor.

 

[Shazam!]

Yeah, we get it, you don't like the new Star Trek.

And?

 

[Cary L. Brown]

Yeah, we get it, you don't like the new Star Trek.

And?

Just keep reminding yourself one of two things:

1) This film is evil, and anyone who enjoys it is also evil,

or

2) This film is orgasmic, and anyone who rejects it is an evil moron.
​

Obviously, those are the only two choices, right?

Me, I really, really dislike the movie at its core, even though there were bits and pieces of it which I did like. I had high hopes initially, and got more "down" on it as more of the bad (IMHO) choices became public... and all the more so as the reasons BEHIND those choices were made public.

Abrams simply doesn't get Star Trek. Much as he didn't get "Superman." Any of you ever see the Abrams-written script he came up with for his "Superman" movie? Again, it shows a complete lack of respect for the core elements of the source material.

While I can't immediately find the scanned posting of his Superman script, here's a bit from "Ain't it Cool" reviewing it. Obviously, a lot of personal stuff in here which you can just scan over, but pay attention to the basics of the script.

Awful... just awful. And that's pretty much the same approach Abrams took with Trek... keep a few visibly-recognizable surface elements, but deeply change the central tenets. THAT is what I dislike about the new movie, ultimately. It's not the same... it's not even close... it's a "changeling," pretending to be something which it isn't... and something which it really almost OPPOSES.

What does it mean that that was the first thing I noticed?
