Time will tell on if James Gunn was the right man to help the DCEU 2.0.
That is deep…
But you are ignoring something important: the danger is just as real at the distances shown than what would be the realistic distances. The Defiant being but meters from any of these ships might as well just be figurative.
Battleship exciting? Playing or watching?
There are ways to showing danger at greater distances of combat.
Babylon 5 did this with the Battle of Gorash VII back in the day.
Quickly stuffs Star Trek Evolution writer’s bible into drawer…
Reed, Maltin, Shalit, Siskel, Ebert, and Sherman never made movies and seemed to do well as movie critics... then again, Sherman did produce one or two in college. Then again, Sherman was a cartoon character and parody of actual critics. At the end of the day, it's up to the individual and what they want to see and it's still okay to critique movies and shows along with praising them. It's just entertainment, for what that too is a tangential entertainment.
i just watched a compilation video of the viper from Viper shifting, and it was more than just armor coming out and some hidden grappling hooks and things. there's a little bit of go-go-gadget in there, too, but it reminded me a lot of the live action transformers, especially when they scan a new alt mode mid-drive. i wonder if the bayformers art staff had seen it and been inspired, or perhaps had actually worked on viper's vfx.
which, come to think, they did in SNW and i didn't like that
Ebert wrote the classic Beneath the Valley of the Ultra-Vixens
*Sad Hulk music plays*
Ebert also wrote Beyond the Valley of the Dolls (full screenplay credit, shared story credit with film's director Russ Meyer).
That's the problem with highly complex moving parts, the more things move around, there are more chances for things to go wrong.i just watched a compilation video of the viper from Viper shifting, and it was more than just armor coming out and some hidden grappling hooks and things. there's a little bit of go-go-gadget in there, too, but it reminded me a lot of the live action transformers, especially when they scan a new alt mode mid-drive. i wonder if the bayformers art staff had seen it and been inspired, or perhaps had actually worked on viper's vfx.

There were already several occaisions they showed on screen of their complicated Helmet system not working or malfunctioning in the show itself.
Especially in critical crisis situations.
Where as using the Transporter to beam something onto your body would've been easier.
It would've been closer to a Tokusatsu Transformation.
Ah, the "Giants".
this is such a weird tack to keep coming back to, this sense of superiority because of watching anime. it's like a stubborn teenager's view. i just turned 39 and have been knowingly watching anime since Moltar hosted toonami. 7eah, there's lots of anime where there are long drawn out fights and it's good, but there are many others where it is just there as padding, because they have to do 26 episodes and not overtake the shonen they're adapting, and it shows hard, and i mentioned severalwhere it does earlier. but four episode long constant battles or whatever do not lend themselves to the way star trek tells stories. moreover, star trek is not *about* fights. it has them *in* it, sometimes, but it isn't about them.
Truly.
But reportedly, it was profitable, and it has a cult following. Besides it being a good thing to have (most of) our egos popped about not working on Star Trek, to bring us down to Earth, I'd think any of us would be ecstatic to have written a profitable film, especially one that's remembered. We haven't even scratched the surface of the argument that Ebert was somebody who was more than just an armchair observer of film.
And now, back to the controversy....
i would say, anime shows more than one kind of combat :P they aren't all macross missile massacres, or 40,000 ships shooting a dozen laser beams each into the far darkness, then explosions, then 30,000 ships returning fire
if anything, trying to bootstrap themselves into being where the MCU was at the time badly hampered DC's cinematic efforts, and they should give themselves space and time to do it right this time
Thanks! And now I'm off to search. In search of Vixens... hope Leonard Nimoy hosts it...
Must be a parody or other farcical comedy, if not outright camp (at least by 1970s standards)... 
(hmmm, big feet...)
