    Aside from making the film take place over a longer time frame, fixing the physics glitches, and some minor dialogue tweaks to make the whole thing better I think the way the movie could have been vastly improved is if instead of edit: fixed spoiler tags

    I was willing to let a lot of issues with the movie go until the end as well, that is where they really lost me, probably around the start of the "falling" scene, where even my 8 yr old called BS on what was happening on screen.

    I have no problem with breathing new life into the franchise or rebooting it, what I have issue with is bad writing, numerous plot holes, outright willfully disregarding physics, real or franchise established, and horrid, horrid set design. The engineering hull's interior was even worse in this movie then the last, and the only good thing about it was the fusion chamber they filmed on to show the warp core, though the interior of it must have tardis tech and makes no sense at all given what else is shown.

    From having just seen the movie, very lazy, the took your basic ram launcher, recolored it and tacked on a couple bits, very obvious in the scene where it slides one right in front of the camera. Here is a RAM launcher for reference: And this is a SEARAM launcher which is on the toy.

    I just saw the movie, what a steaming pile of crap. I am not a huge trek fan, and while some bits were nice homages, I saw enough changes to enrage the typical trekkie to no end. Even trying to watch it as dumb sci-fi movie ticked me off as the blatant disregard of any kind of physics, especially during the falling scene, with the gravity field changing directions constantly had me wanting to call for my money back. Combine that with numerous plot holes, deus ex's, and the absolute worst starship interior designs I have ever seen and I say save your money.

    Interesting and fun movie, science was definitely not as grounded. I saw the twist coming very early on. Did Extermis in the comics have the whole heat thing too? The biggest issue I had is that, on the whole, the armors seemed much weaker this time around. Was that just to show how powerful extermis made people, or to show that Tony was not making the armors to the same quality? Also what freaking mach number were the parts of the MK42 moving at to get from TN to FL in like 5 minutes time?

    Actually the design logic that Matt Jeffries used was sound to a point. He realized that the engines, and power source would be dangerous so seperated them from the crew space as much as possible. In that way the original Enterprise configuration makes sense from a safety standpoint, true militarily it does not, and I think that is biggest gripe about the vengence is that it is suppossed to be a war ship and has parts that are definitely not warshiplike. Whereas the enterprise as an exploration ship primarily doesn't have to have the same level of reinforcement.

    So its going back to the series roots of Pitch Black, a movie I still love, we'll see how it does.

    I forgot how many VF-1 tie downs robo sported
  10. Knight26
    nice how much did that run you? and how much does the resin/plastic cost?

    SO its about air racing, ok I am slightly more interested now, I like that it looks like his buddy is a Velocity XL, love those planes. But that trailer looks like it showed pretty much the whole movie.

    Not to defend the design, it is horrible, but I really think that the Moth Of Prey is intended to be a bomber scale or boarding craft more so than a warp vessel.
  13. Knight26
    You mean you don't like the MOP, Moth Of Prey?

       It ticks me off becuase it shows extreme laziness on the part of the designers. Combine that with all of the other fugly designs and it makes me want to shut my eyes when any of those eyesores comes on screen. This would have even been unacceptable 20-30 yrs ago when all the designs would be scratch and bashed physical models. To just take a whole model and throw it on there as a part would only be considered on cut rate productions, any other would just take parts and integrate them in. Look at the old SW designs, you really have to know models to pick out parts on those that come from other kits, not have it just stand out like the preverbial sore thumb like these do.

    So I looked at the still from the preview, and those are standard RAM launchers on the BOP wingroot, ugh, seriously?
  16. Knight26
    Are those freaking Sea-RAM launchers on the BOP? Are Kilngons stealing early 21st century human weapon systems now?
  17. Knight26
    So we'll be seeing your girl in some amateur porn soon then huh?

    Actually those are pilots with the arm controller, they are just not the pilots who will be flying it after takeoff. The Pilot In Command (PIC) is in the control station elsewhere onboard, or on shore as the case may be. The deck crew was also instructed to handle the X-47B like any other plan, hence why there are signalling the plane directly and not the pilots's stearing it around on the deck.

    My wife wants me to take the kids to see this on the 24th right after they get out of school

    I liked Enemy at the Gates, not as a shoot 'em up but as a more psychological movie it was good, well thought out and interesting.
  21. Knight26
    ROFLMAO that looks hilariously bad, makes me want to watch robot-jox
  22. Knight26
    sold
  23. Knight26
    Ok I am onboard with that, Karl Urban is awesome

    I do think this looks like a very interesting and psycholigically compelling movie, my biggest gripe with it is that they use the space shuttle instead of one of the in development space craft that are to replace it. Maybe that was NASA and the other companies not giving their support if they used the next gen capsules/space busses. That being said why include a US spacecraft all, why not just use the soyuz alone? Also there must be a lot more to the movie than just the disaster and waiting to die as you see Bullock in a US and Russian space suit, plus someone else in some other suit I don't recognize, but that looks more like an old type launch suit.
  25. Knight26
    So this is an alternate history piece then right? Because we don't fly space shuttles anymore. Why not use the Orion capsule or one of the space taxis in development instead?
