  1. Actually the extra bit about it not being a hardcore flight sim model probably sealed the deal. I like the "realistic" flight controls but like a little more laid back flight model.
  2. What kind of control scheme does this game have? Is it arcade like or more simulation like? I can't stand arcade style controls, I expect the plane to roll when using the joystick and not turn left or right. If not for that I probably would pick up more titles like these.
  3. After Benicio Del Toro's character I don't really care what name actor they bring in. That role was a waste for his talent but he was still the best part of that whole casino arc.
  4. They fired one a while back but JJ is still set to direct (Dynomite!, well not that JJ). No other movies are officially on hold but I'm sure they are rethinking the financing at this moment.
  5. Putting Hartnell's first season on Bluray is either going to cost a massive boatload of money or is a total waste of time. The visual quality of the shows are beyond atrocious. Worn out VHS videotape is overkill.
  6. From my point of view it pretty much did foreshadow the end of anime. I kinda like "Oldtaku", time to put that in my description of me.
  7. Anyone else see the "Shada" episodes. Always nice to have more Tom Baker but it was a mediocre story (even for the time) at best.
  8. > What's our ETA to the complaints about social justice casting like we had in Discovery? Past the shelf life date for Trek since the sixties - remember it was the show that had the first interracial kiss on TV (though it was a terrible kiss and I've heard it actually wasn't).
  9. > IMO, Spock putting Kirk off the ship was one of the few good moments in the film. But the Enterprise has this lovely thing called a brig, where whinny jerks are meant to go and be forgotten till later.
  10. Not impressed but I wasn't impressed with Clone Wars or Rebels when I first saw them either.
  11. I had no trouble following what was going on when the Narada attacked the Kelvin though it was visually busy. In general the films budget could probably been cut in half just by taking away or just toning down all those CGI FX shots. Agree with all the rest - especially Kirk but then he is outdone by Spock throwing him off the ship which makes no sense.
  12. IIRC the new reusable reentry vehicles look more like the old Apollo style. That design allows the heat shield to be protected from liftoff by an outer shell since it is only on the bottom of the craft and not exposed to all the junk falling off the rocket during takeoff. That will help a lot with safety.
  13. I seriously doubt it, the inspection of the tiles between each flight was a monstrous time and money pit. The Shuttle was a failure from the perspective of being an AFFORDABLE reusable spacecraft but was a treasure of information on bad ideas.
  14. Into Darkness got rid of most of the lense flair. I don't remember shaky cam so much in either of the first movies so can't comment. The third movie's director had a much different visual style - still fast but a different style. I thought it was better.
  15. Even though I'm not a big fan of The Dark Crystal (it was decent, worth a watch, nothing spectacular) I'm going to watch this when it comes on. Netflix has done some great stuff with less, Lost in Space comes to mind.
  16. As for the Agent screwing it up. Not in this instance, each actor knows this movie is on the table and can and will tell the agent what they are willing to take - blaming the agent is not applicable in this case. My guess it is a negotiation and Pine at lest will be in the movie. If not then the movie will go on without him. It would have been different if this were 30 years ago and it was Shatner refusing but Pine is just another guy playing Kirk at this point.
  17. It will be interesting to see where the negotiations go with this. Although it is not actually said in the article I'm guessing Hemsworth is being offered more money and Pine thinks he should get equal or more pay since
  18. New last point on that. Totally agree there, character interaction in the films has been top notch. The last film being the best of the lot - if only they had not totally messed up the villain and the main plot in that one.
  19. AND forgot all about it except for a few kooks doing research on the Kelvin. So I'll stick with my point that the comic was unnecessary to understand the film. Sortof like know why it was 12 parsecs in another movie. And say no more.
  20. Does the comic go into the far more important question of why the Federation does not go looking for the Narada after it blows away one of their ships? Indeed, they completely forget that some massive ship is out there. Since I'm willing to let that slide the rest of it also falls away to nothing too. It is a simple story of revenge with a few plot holes larger then the black hole Spock rides in on. (which also reminds me, Spock sees Vulcan explode from Light Years away, in less then a day)
  21. As you point out even with the comics it is an idiot plot. The number one being the instant they went through the wormhole they should have left the ship they found alone and went back to Romulus. Once they didn't (or destroyed it right out) the plot about wanting revenge, ship heavily damaged, fought with Klingons, is all you need.
  22. His ship was extensively damaged when rammed by the (whatever the name of the first ship was) and then he got in fights AND he knew Spock was not coming back till then. Any more explanation than that is not required, so much so that the footage that was shot to cover it was not considered to be needed.
