Trekmovie confirmed that the movie will run for approximately 2 hours. Do you think that is sufficient for the movie or were you hoping for a 2.5 or 3 hour running time?
2 hour movie
- Thread starter KirkPicard
- Start date
That's outrageous. Abrams should know by now that a 5 hour movie is the only way to go. That's how Peter Jackson did it, that's how America does it... and it's worked out pretty well so far.
If he's got a two hour story, then he should make a two hour movie, unless of course he has a three and a half hour story.
As long as the length is a function of the story being told, any length is fine with me. It sounds like Abrams was strongly in favor of keeping it a tight two hours (as opposed to, say, the studio ordering him to bring it in under two hours to maximize showing turnover), which is a good sign.
i was sortof hoping for a 2 1/2 or 3 hour long movie myself. I just hate it when they chop the hell out of the movie just so they can cram as many showings in a day.
^ There's no evidence that that's the case here. It was with Nemesis, but not neccesarily here. I wonder how long the script was.
Sounds good.
This is just silly.
It has to be at least 7 hours long, any less would be proof that Abrams doesn't respect Star Trek.
How about a 170+ hour movie transmitted in one-hour installments, say weekly, roughly concurrently with school years for a few years?
How can you be hoping for a directors edition before anyone has even seen the movie? For all we know the theatrical release is the directors edition.
No, it needs to be 6 7-hour movies, and Kirk needs to die in the second and be brought back from the dead in the third.
And the first needs to be cataclysmically boring.
That's how to respect Trek.
As long as it's on the plus side of 2 hours (2hr, 10 min) instead of the minus side (1hr, 50 min), I'll be happy.
Two hours sounds about right.
