The music is not the typical uplifting style we're used to. The design of the ship is, I believe, taken from Ralph McQuarrie art prior to ST:TMP. Not a design I'd choose, that's certain. But I will give it a chance. I'd be thrilled to have a good Trek show on tv again.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17032477453891087135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293155946761960913.post-65151262640540127352016-07-25T08:10:45.054-05:002016-07-25T08:10:45.054-05:00I stopped after the first Abrams Star Trek movie. ...I stopped after the first Abrams Star Trek movie. It had its good points - most of the casting/acting was very good, the special effects were very good, there was a lot of action - I intensely disliked how they handled the Spock (my favorite from TOS) character, I thought the bad guy was weak, some of the plot had holes, and I didn't care for the idea of the alternate timeline Star Trek that we now have. So, this is a very long winded way of saying that I'm in no hurry to see this, though I probably will do so eventually.dbutler16https://www.blogger.com/profile/00046066729353639991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293155946761960913.post-51350791939991064462016-07-25T02:15:40.054-05:002016-07-25T02:15:40.054-05:00I'm not veering; I'm an original Trek fan ...I'm not veering; I'm an original Trek fan who laothes this series. It's lazy, stupid and worthless. Seeing the first one was enough to confirm that. I read about the second one and wow, what a disgrace.

Only on Star Trek kiddies!<br /><br />Well, I just came back from seeing this movie so everything is from my first impressions - personally, I liked it. Yes, it does have some improbable action sequences, but that's a feature of almost every Hollywood movie nowadays (isn't this the same director who did those gravity-defying Fast & Furious movies?), there are some story implausibilities (did Krall really feel so strongly that the Federation abandoned him? Why?) and some plain 'aw, you gotta be kiddin' me!' moments (like the aforementioned Beastie Boys song taking out that invasion). My friend asked me 'hey does Krall really have so many people to pilot all those little 'bee ships'?. <br /><br />I also found it amusing that the alien warrior Jaylah spoke better English than the originally human Krall/Balthazar Edison. It was a nice touch to see the tributes to Leonard Nimoy and Anton Yelchin. I wonder how they'll address Yelchin's absence in the next movie, given that JJ Abrams says his role won't be recast. <br /><br />One of the best improvements was the more pronounced Spock/Bones interaction, although like I told my brother when we left the cinema, 'y'know, I'm sure if you sit down and think about it for a while, you'll discover even more plot holes soon!'.<br /><br /><br />- Mike 'enough Star Trek, when is Doctor Strange coming out?' from Trinidad & Tobago. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293155946761960913.post-18826206259226209002016-07-24T18:12:35.247-05:002016-07-24T18:12:35.247-05:00Love this movie!

Not completely, though. I had the same attitude as you did about the first one, i.e., I found it generally entertaining (and downright amusing in a few places), and sort of just viewed it as Trek Elseworlds or well-made fan fiction or something like that. But - as I noted in my comment to your TOS post of the other day - that second one, basically a remake of both "Space Seed" and "Wrath of Khan" really left a bad taste in my mouth.<br />Your point about the inclusion of the ST: Enterprise-era ship also reminded me that the only thing left completely intact in this rebooted Trek universe is that - in my opinion - execrable series...<br /><br />Thanks for the review, though, Karen. I will get around to seeing this one eventually, although I doubt I'll take the trouble of actually going to see it in a theater.Edo Bosnarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293155946761960913.post-20690576226676117862016-07-24T09:01:14.152-05:002016-07-24T09:01:14.152-05:00"...how about the mention of a "a big, g..."...how about the mention of a "a big, green hand"<br /><br />There was also the Saurian brandy picked up on Thasus (the planet Charlie X was raised on IIRC)B Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16618583443442543086noreply@blogger.com
