big F Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 To be fair even after six months he was a changed man. People actually liked him and didn't just hang around him to see what he'd get up to. But agreed it took him a few years to really get down to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macross007 Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 (edited) IMO : The only things wrong with ST:III were, Savik being played by a different actress, and Chekov's terrible wardrobe. Other than those things, that movie is win. Stealing the enterprise scene is one of my favorite out all of Star Trek. The 2009 reboot was promising, but seemed off to me. The new one had it's moments, but overall I cannot recommend it. Here's a great review by Red Letter Media. Great, going to watch it. Ty.

David Hingtgen Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 A 45 minute review? Reminds me of English class, where you're supposed to write a 4-page analysis of a 6-page short story... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raptormesh Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Because some people have a lot of opinions kay. Yeah i don't get that either, but I guess the reviews themselves are a form of entertainment for some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommar Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 They focused on various aspects of the movie and took the time to discuss them between three different people. In that context 45 minutes wouldn't be much different from sitting around talking about a movie with your friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terry the lone wolf Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 (edited) I saw ST: Into Darkness and I loved it but I have a few critiques. When will the writers let Kirk break out be the captain he is meant to be? I don't have an issue with Chris Pine's acting; I have a problem with the writing especially as it pertains to young Jim Kirk. I mean he's the young Kirk a little wet behind the ears, I get that but Kirk was a genius level guy who taught classes at Star Fleet Academy. Kirk had schemes upon schemes in the old tv series and could get the Enterprise out of jam every week. They're doing Kirk as the hot head that jumps before he looks but Kirk could do that but he had a plan to get them out of the situation. He didn't believe in the "No Win Scenerio". In some ways he was smarter than Spock; not X & O's smart. Sometimes Pine just looked so clueless; he reacted more than acted.. When are we going to see the Kirk that actually beats up people?

Dynaman Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Too bad, he's a hell of a lot more interesting... Debatable at best. That Kirk was older and had more experience under his belt. On the plus side for the next ST movie is that it will have a new director (and writers I presume, the other ones seemed to be JJ's crew as well) - whoever gets the nod will give us a good idea of what the next film will be like (unless the director is an unknown of course) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Togo Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 JJ will at the very least be producing it, and I don't see why his usual team won't be on board (they are, thankfully, not working on SW7). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Einherjar Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 (edited) Am I right to assume all of the red shirts introduced on screen in this movie survived (Chekov and those two guys who were told not to wear the shirts for the away team mission to Kronos)?

TehPW Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 (edited) i've been mulling this over the pas few days, about the end plot for STID. What if Khan was the one who sacrifices himself in the warp core? Ok, everything happens in STID up to the bridge invasion of the Vengence, but all the betrayal by Khan didnt happen? Marcus maintains the upperhand in the attack, Khan holds Carol hostage instead. Marcus aranges the beaming of the 72 Pseudo-Torpedoes over to Vengence then beams Kirk, Scotty Khan & Carol back over the Ent (with regret). Marcus gloats of course (says some throwaway line like 'I still have your brother, Carol'...), the Torps goes off in the Vengence (Khan screams in rage until he is told His Crew is still safe) and events occur as normal in STID... save that is it Khan that goes into the chamber to fix the warp core. though i cant think how or who is suitable for the SF chase scenes or if marcus would willing ram the Vengence in SF proper.... maybe Marcus could be a Klingon (or like Khan), like the one dude from 'Trouble with Tribbles'? They actually did a good paperback story about that guy a couple years ago... anyway, it works in my mind i guess (your own milage will vary) Edited June 7, 2013 by TehPW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marzan Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Finally had the time to catch this film. Best bit beside seeing BBC's Sherlock beating guys up was the new Spock failing to put enough 'Shatner overact' into his own version of 'KHAAAAAAAANNN!" At least it show's the writers were genre savvy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, in your case you're sorting out much more than just a bunch of boxes. Hang in there. I thought the Kirk threesome with two cat girls was a bit much, but at least Pike still had it much better than in the original series. I'm not a fan of the forced raunchiness/borderline toilet humor but it's 'Trek for the Instagram/Facebook generation we're talking about...
