    Vengeance was such an ugly design, plus being super-sized even compared to the stupidly super-sized JJ-prise. I think the only reason it was so big was for that slide out scene when Kirk and Kahn snuck aboard. Thing was so big it was like a shovel taking out sky-scapers! But I think I was okay enough with the movie until Kirk started kicking highly sensitive matter/anti-matter machinery. The Kaaaaahn! scream from Spock was just too over the top.

    Man, I can't wait for that to start up! I'm afraid they'll be too character heavy but I'm hoping they'll handle it good. Should be fun though!

    Came across this on another site. So awesome!

    Not watching anything more about it. Will see it all in Sight and Sound on Sunday!

    As long as he doesn't act like he's in a cut scene from the Transformers movies...

    I liked Beyond. IMOHO it was a fun movie. Sure, they went right back to the 'maniac wants to destroy Earth' scenario (which has been dipped into once too many times) but it was good despite that. ItD really sent too much of a sour aftershock though. Trying to remake TWoK was the worst decision ever! Have the next movie be about exploration and get it as far away from Earth as possible. And give Captain Pike a series!

    Interested in the Justice League. Not so much in Black Adam or another Shazam movie. I'll need to see more as they go along.

    I'm interested. I liked the 2009 and 2016 movies. They really need to redesign the -A though, as that looked like total crap!

    Saw it and liked it, though they could have done better. I'm glad they stayed away from the sappy crap that infested Bay's Pearl Harbor and certainly had better effects. No angled deck flattops showed up in this one! I do wish that they had focused more on the give and take between the US and IJN forces. I would have watched half hour more of seeing the US fleet coming under attack and showing those losses more in depth. They had one shot of a carrier going down but no ID as to which it was. Also, to look at the flight deck in the movie, the only planes carried by Enterprise through the whole thing were dive bombers and torpedo planes, so no CAP aircraft like Wildcats showed up. And the battle certainly didn't end as soon as Akagi went down... There were any number of small ways it could have been better than it was, but I still liked it. I'll get it when it comes out.

    It's looking fantastic! What is the ultimate set-up going to look like?
  11. Thom
    Subjectively though it will still feel like three years.Can't cheat time yet, though I like where you were going with that!
  12. Thom
    Woops, my bad. I blame amped up excitement! I can wait patiently for three... more... years...

    That looks incredible. Great seeing some awesome looking Zentran ships being 'grown.'
  14. Thom
    I have a few of these in the stash. Will be great seeing yours go together.
  15. Thom
    Absolutely great looking effect. Love it!
  16. Thom
    Damn cool! And just six months away, that's awesome! Looking forward to this more than an MCU Spiderman sequel.
  17. Thom
    Love that display. Just full of action!
  18. Thom
    That's a great looking dio! Great kit and scratch work.
  19. Thom
    Looks great Arbit!

    It can't. Johnson missed his chance to continue the arc but turned the middle chapter into a too long chase scene. The last movie in a trilogy is usually used to tie up loose ends and give a meaningful, exciting ending. Instead Abrams has to rush it in the final two plus hours, so of course they are going to be hitting the nostalgia button pretty dang hard and turning it into even more of a continuation of the OT, including the original main villain. I'll still be watching this in the theaters though. As a 'stand alone' movie TFA was very good, IMHO and I'm thinking (hoping) RoSW will be as fun.

    Don't show up for a week and everyone is putting out some incredible builds! Kudos guys, awesome stuff!!

    For me, the physics of how pieces of the DSII survived atmospheric entry are unimportant. Much less which way it was facing or how powerful on a nuclear-scale the explosion was or where exactly Palpatine's throne room was in relation to the dish's circumference, or... It's science fiction. If we want we could say that the construction materials used in the DSII were so strong that the magnitude of it wouldn't even be measurable by today's standard. It could be that, to us, it would be considered completely indestructible, and thus the fact that it was destroyed would be a confounding mystery to us hairless monkeys who have barely even scratched the moon's surface in our own dinky little star system, that in itself would be considered a backwater's backwater to a place such as Jakku. It's fantasy only based on science, and pretty loose science at that, that is more akin to magic than anything concrete. It really just kind of sucks the wonder out of it. Tell yeah, I would have loved even that little bit of an explanation for Snoke! They really screwed up the story arc by playing Blindman's Bluff with TLJ's plot.

    Well, I still got the zings from watching the trailer. It looks adventurous, dramatic and exciting which, honestly, the trailers have always managed to do. I'm looking forward to seeing it in theater a couple times at least. Yes, TLJ dropped the ball in a bad way, and by TLJ I mean Johnson, Kennedy and Abrams as well, but TFA was exciting and fun and I'm trusting Abrams to deliver that at least. I'm also hoping they've learned from the bad responses and do a few 'course corrections' that keep us out of the dreaded 'mystery box' complex. If I had my wish, Palpatine's return would have happened during TLJ, to really feel it grow organically. Have it happen in the background, with him subtly pulling Snoke's strings (and giving us an explanation for Snoke in the offing) with his final reveal at the very end. Not what we got though. So, is it going to feel a bit rushed then, throwing him in at the end and trying to get the answers that were never picked up after TFA? Probably. But I'm alright with that as long as I get good answers and an exciting ride, and a meaningful end to wrap it all up.

    For me it's feeling more contrived than anything else. Unless she's suffering from some kind of mental breakdown or acute psychosis, I find it hard to think that she can't understand or see how evil her intentions are. They say that this is a battle for Lena's soul, but I think it may be more a fight for her sanity. In that way, I'm really hoping this is more Hope's doing, seeing how often Lena is connected through the contact/interface things. Maybe Hope is subtly influencing her thoughts and action. But if she is in her right mind, then I see little way other than more contrivance for her to get away with an 'oh sorry, I was angry/hurt, my bad.' This is incredibly worse than Kara just not telling her she was Supergirl. This is Lex-level of criminal intent. I have to say I was much happier when she was just angry and wanting Kara to 'pay' for making her feel left out and 'betrayed.' At least that is more rational than Lena wanting to mind-control everyone.

    Same.. I've been liking it, in fact better than SG this season. Also wish they had more of a lawless look to Gotham. There are a lot of homeless around Wayne Tower, but very little evident crime.
