That's how they write their fucking scripts?
Taking out Rura Penthe: Was it a good idea?
- Thread starter urbandk
- Start date
I'd keep Rura Penthe in just so audiences know that Nero calculated when Prime Spock would arrive.
The way it's set up feels disjointed.
So Nero destroys the Kelvin
25 years later Nero is thinking intensely and suddenly Spock emerges.
Okay we can assume there was only one blackhole time portal and Nero went back to that spot but how did he know to wait 25 years?

Same here. I have been watching many movies and looking at the deleted scenes and the majority of the time I think the choice to cut scenes has been thr right thing to do. But for Star trek I will need to see the deleted scenes before I make a judgment.
Fucking eh!
The problem is not with the narada being captured, its how they escape, its very vague leaving it almost up tot he veiwers imagination. The questions being:
- How did they actually escape the planet and get the Narada back?? Was there some type of remote control that woke the ship up have it come over to Rura Penthe and beam them up?
- Did the Klingons just park the Narada for 25 years and not go through the ship and or use it for there own means?
When we see Nero lying back after the "Three Years Later" thing, there are papers with calculations just next to him. So he must have calculated where and or when Spock will arrive, or had someone do the math for him.
And apparently, Rura Penthe is the only prison planet in the Klingon Empire. And at the same time the ideal place to study an enemy ship.
Like with all those coincidental meetings of the characters, this is just too over the top. The galaxy in this movie feels smaller than your local suburb.

Cool, so with enough bitching I can make you wish this movie never got made?
Hey, it's not a bad idea. 'Beat the shit out of' and 'badass' are exactly the phrases/words you want people in the movie theatres to be thinking when they see these scenes. They inform the whole attitude of what that scene's supposed to be.
Besides, John Logan's Nemesis script actually did stuff like name-drop Darth Vader, IIRC. We could have done worse.
Anyway, a good reason for cutting the Klingons out of the movie is because they'd just be serving as, well, Worf - some tough looking guy for the bad guys to beat up to emphasize just how badass they are. If Klingons are going to be villains in the new franchise - and let's be honest, that's very likely - it's best that their first onscreen appearance isn't being owned by the other guy.

I'm glad this film got made. I'm sorry you don't know how to enjoy it.
As far as I remember, John Logan's script read like:
A beat.
Something happens.
A beat.
Someone says something.
A beat.
Something else happens.
A beat.

Sounds like an outline for a hip hop tune.
Yeah, alot of people have this pre-conceived notion that the script has to be worded lik a legal document, these guys and Abbrams (and the others) are very close and act like alot of other close co-workers would. The fim set itself is even more looser. I love the fact that every one involved is down to Earth and making the film was fun, thats how it should be as long as it does not go to far and affect the filmed product.
I have to think it would have been rather useless and time consuming IMO.
Why the heck were those two scenes cut out? It explains a lot about Nero's motivations.
