Star Trek (2009) was prepared especially for IMAX screenings. It even had it's own unique poster.
TMP-DE fully restored in 4K…it’s about time!
- Thread starter Warped9
- Start date
It was quite the adventure, not quite a ‘rollicking’ one but an adventure nonetheless. But here is a spoiler from the end of the movie, before the credits it said that...
The human adventure is just beginning…
Maybe they’ll make a sequel one day?
English was not the first language for the people that I went to see this film with, so some of them did fall to sleep at points but that is understandable as the language was quite ‘technical’ in places and it was their first ever Star Trek film.

Maybe, but nobody really likes science fiction.
Unless it has blackjack and hookers.
I love how they cleaned up the audio so that dialogue doesn't sound like it was recorded from twenty feet away. It was terribly flat before.
Spock had some high hopes. Not only was he monitoring the ship's transmissions (were they not encrypted? Like that would bother him), but he also got a regulation haircut just in case he needed to reactivate his commission. He easily suspected his help wouldn't be refused. Then he called for a cab...
It's a good thing for everyone that his attachment to this particular ship, the Enterprise, was so deep that, like nostalgia, he was drawn to the comforting embrace of her nacelles. I have to wonder, while he was eavesdropping for snippets of cockpit talk like a kid who tuned in the air band on the radio, if he thought, "Gee. Jim got the ship back. Did he blackmail Admiral Nogura? It probably didn't sit well with Captain Decker. I wonder if he had to be escorted off the bridge like his father."

I'm still wondering how Spock became knowledgeable about the Refit's engine difficulties. Spock had 'labored long' to achieve Kolinahr, but after changing his mind and joining up with the Enterprise, he somehow fixes the warp drive issue in less than three hours. Compare that to Scotty, the chief engineer 'miracle worker' who had spent 18 months working on the refit and couldn't get it to work on her first flight out.
Having everyone's level of expertise be reduced to garbage in favor of Spock doing better jobs than the crew is not one of my favorite TMP contributions.
He read up on the trip over.
TMP's soundtrack is one of the best in the past 50 years of Hollywood films.
Regardless of what people think of the movie, it's pacing etc (I happen to love it) that's one thing that can be universally agreed on. One of the greatest film scores of all time, period.
I happened to catch part of Ghostbusters: Afterlife yesterday. The score, by Rob Simonsen, seems to be a conscious homage to Goldsmith's scores.
It does? It pretty closely hews to Elmer Berstein's original Ghostbusters score as far as I recall.
It says a lot that the most derided movie of the original six - TFF - has almost nobody demeaning its soundtrack because it's a beautiful Jerry Goldsmith score. If anything Goldsmith's music enhances the bad or disappointing scenes of the fifth film and makes it that much more watchable.
I just saw this today. I'm...intrigued. Don't know where this project is going but CGI Spock on the TMP bridge is...definitely interesting to look at.
