JJ Abrams is a hack. I'm going to campaign for Rick Berman to be brought back.
I saw it tonight. It sucked.
- Thread starter Spaceman Spiff
- Start date
Say what you want about Rick Berman, at least he got what Star Trek is. Abrams just gave us Lost in space.
That is Lost set in space, not Lost in Space the old show.

I just thought that the whole sequence involving the Gorn, the Horta and Orion Slave girl was overly gratuitous and wayyy over the top for this movie....
There's a joke in here somewhere about 'getting your rocks off' but damned if I can find it
I think the idea of conflating all the time periods could have been better explained. Lot of confused faces in my audience.
I thought the pacing was way off, too; I agree that they really did need four-and-a-half hours to tell the story, but why place the intermission immediately after the scene where Trip and Geordi use the planet-killer to lay waste to the Dominion flotilla, which was one of the biggest audience pops in the film? People were throwing shit at the screen.
I liked the part where a time traveling Jack Bauer appeared out of nowhere and killed the main Klingon villain Korkangotloth. Everything else sucked. I just didn't get why the time traveling Borg Changelings from the 207th century just didn't assimilate the entire galaxy. I know Kirk can talk computers to death but cyborgs from the future? Never thought that was possible especially with Kirk just ripping his toupe and girdle off.
Who'd have thought that a movie based on a planet that no one knew existed, a mass starship crash sequence set-piece and and an alien in the form a black salt vampire cloud could be so imaginative and original.
Still, the appearance of Lost: The Motion Picture trailer at the tail end before the closing credits went down so well with the audience.
I heard as i left the theater from one movie goer: "Lost looks fantastic, i hope its not a re hash of whats gone before." Yeah, like ten minutes before.

The whole thing about Barth Fader being Kirk's father seemed...familiar, somehow.
And I liked the appearance by 160 year old Archer, but why was he played by Dean Stockwell?

I thought Will Smith was inspired casting as Kirk myself, and though I was a little unsure about the Bollywood style dance routines, I have to say that the whole Starfleet Academy idea was proved necessary when they included the special cameo of Screech from Saved By The Bell....
Yeah, well that scene with Chekov in the bathroom during the slingshot manouever around the sun and the following "laughs" were just a rip off of Cat in Red Dwarf....bastards....
I for one couldn't believe all the fart and poop jokes. Way too many even for this fan of fart and poop jokes! Damn you JJ!!! 
I thought the worse line was when Kirk yelled "Madness. This is...STARFLEET!" before he killed the villain.
And it didn't help that he kicked the guy into an engine the same way Mal did in the Train Job episode of Firefly.
I'm just suprised he didn't turn out to be a Borg agent instead of a surgically altered Ferengi from the 31st century....
