Well, it was good while it lasted...
La'an was pointless as a Noonien Singh, which made making her one problematic. Kirk & Co. look bad.
Whoever owns the Xenomorphs needs to sue the fuck out them. Newt, too. That ain't homage. It's theft.
I made allowances for the series given how impressed I was with the premier especially, but seeing where they took it, they shouldn't have used the Gorn. These beings bear little resemblance to the originals, who Kirk, again, seems a fool to have never heard of. They could have made them Tzenkethi or Jaradans or even Kzinti, or something else.
The point of the TOS Gorn were that they looked menacing and they'd acted viciously, but they were intelligent spacefaring beings who had been wronged. These things were straight-up monsters from an 80's horror movie. It's like we learned nothing about not judging a book by its cover, people by how they look.
And they grew at an impossible rate.
Ortegas would call him a "blue meanie"...he's literally white.
Some nice tension and thrills, gorgeous food and heart-warming opening scene (lulling us into a false sense of homey good vibes), cool animatronic new alien, Spock "logically" using his rather sexy rage, a GoT episode 9 shocker thing going, and all the Uhura stuff was great, including the last bit on the bridge (also gorgeously shot), but...but.... It get's a 3 from me. It could have been an 8 or 9...but the cons hit hard.
The Gorn remember.
