The Official STAR TREK Grading & Discussion Thread [SPOILERS]

[indranee]

to lawman: I hear you.

 

[Bob The Skutter]

There's that, and there's the fact that you can't actually hold onto it by gripping harder.

Speak for yourself. My grip is fantastic.

Keep believing that.

So you're saying I should let go of my grip on reality?
I suppose it would be easier.

 

[indranee]

no, he's saying stop clinging to your past. it's leaving marks and making you look desperate.

 

[Borgminister]

Embrace the present. Or don't. Simple as that.

 

[Admiral Buzzkill]

So you're saying I should let go of my grip on reality?

Trek isn't reality, Mister. It's fantasy.

I really think this is the first Trek film that felt epic to me. It felt like a movie.

It felt like a video game to me...

 

[Pindar]

So you're saying I should let go of my grip on reality?

Trek isn't reality, Mister. It's fantasy.

Mr Adventure approves, from the safety of his closet.

 

[MilitaryCoo]

I know there are certain shots where even I watch and think, "Oh that's ridiculous, that was too many."

Carry on.

The message is clear.

Remove all kittens from your underwear. No good can come of it.

Now you tell me!

When your knickers smell of cat food and the pain of many tiny scratches is too much to bear, it's time to re-evaluate your feline/unmentionables policy.

On topic:

Star Trek! Wooo!!

 

[Jim Steele]

Carry on.

I assume that's JJ on the lens flares, right?

Or possibly "shitty plot devices"?

Or "incidents of the same plot point being repeated three times in succession with decreasing complexity for the benefit of retards in the cheap seats"?

 

[MilitaryCoo]

It could just as easily be the latter, but you're right, it's the former.

Oh no, are we going back to the pussy discussion?

I'm sorry, do we ever leave the pussy discussion?

Good point, well made.

Common ground! Yes!

 

[CaptainJon]

My one issue with the script is how neatly everyone falls into place by the end of the movie. While it strains credibility, the nature of the movie and just how fun a ride it is makes it easy to forgive this minor nitpick.

I agree, but still loved to see the fully realized crew on deck ready for their first mission.

Which looks more and more likely to be upcoming...

Star Trek is back!

Indeed....

Great review, by the way...

Thanks!

The haters appear to be holding at 5-6% (only 2.5% at BoxOfficeMojo). Certainly acceptable losses from Paramount's perspective. Although none of them seem to have actually left yet. Curious.
