soundtrack for Trek XII - Michael Giacchino

[Crazy Eddie]

If you want to argue that the scoring fits the more frenetic tempo of the editing/pacing of the film, I'll grant you might have a point. That said, I didn't particularly care for the cinematography or editing either.

I don't like the "modern" sensibility in cinema with "shakey cam", lens flares, overly jittery pacing, etc. It's an attempt to cobble together a style out of a series of bad directorial and editing choices. At best it's a fad, and I hope it dies out soon and we see the return of better filmmaking in it's wake.

At this point, isn't it alot simpler to say "I don't like NuTrek" than to jerk us around pretending like you're presenting an honest and unbiased opinion of something related to it?

Do not mistake my critiquing of the technical merits for a general dislike of the film, because I in fact do like NuTrek. I like it despite what I see as it's flaws, just as many Trek fans like TMP despite its flaws.

The cast has good chemistry, and the characterizations, with only a couple of minor problems, likewise are good. The story, while a little heavy on the "run and jump", and a little thin on plot logic in places, was bold enough to take risks and get away with it.

I will see the next one when it comes out, despite knowing that JJ most probably won't amend his "style".

I hope that clears up my position.

This last bit, however, adds nothing useful and is unnecessarily personal. Would be best if you were to skip that sort of thing in the future, 'K?

I understand, agree and apologize.

Accepted and mine extended as well.

I also apologize. In fact I will see your apology and raise you a compliment, that is a very nice shirt you are wearing today.
