That was a diarrhea explosion up the back of the shirt, onto the floor of the bathroom, and the back of the toilet seat.matthewweflenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07540521459703556959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4400152815785368447.post-11776263134957661202017-01-10T02:23:49.695-06:002017-01-10T02:23:49.695-06:00Correction: Lin, not Abrams.

What's the difference. <br /><br />I guess this is what you get when a movie or show is ordered by the marketing department and a bunch of execs looking to bank on the long established name of this beloved and extraordinary franchise. poppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09064123327462038174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4400152815785368447.post-58314179475983688042017-01-10T02:17:26.010-06:002017-01-10T02:17:26.010-06:00This installment was a complete shit show. It was ...This installment was a complete shit show. It was worse than the other two installments. It was basically just a slightly smarter version of Star Wars. I hated it so much. The only redeeming aspect of it was the production value and special effects and space station etc. But I still hated it. It wasn't just bad, it was boring too. Good grief. These people could not write Star Trek is Roddenberry returned from the dead and gave lectures. <br /><br />I'm just a fan and I'm pissed. I cant even imagine how long time writers and showrunners of Trek must feel looking at this abomination. I'm sure they are publicly diplomatic and polite, but there is no way any self respecting Trek fan with even a cursory understanding and appreciation of the world created by Stat Trek would find these high tech, throw up rides acceptable. <br /><br />The reboots have taken a long, hard shit on the franchise and each installment is worse than the other. At least they have the presence of mind to just say this travesty takes place in a completely different timeline. A timeline that only people who are vaguely familiar with Star Trek and who have to get their information about the show from Memory Alpha, could envision. To paraphrase one of you guys from a previous reboot review: this installment deserves a MINUS 4 rating, but only because punch Abrams (and Pegg and everyone else involved with this) in the throat is not an integer. poppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09064123327462038174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4400152815785368447.post-88124811643814077092017-01-07T19:29:27.154-06:002017-01-07T19:29:27.154-06:00This is a pretty fair assessment of the film I thi...This is a pretty fair assessment of the film I think. My sentiment is a bit more bullish right now because it was a refreshing step in the right direction on various fronts, which overrides some of my similar concerns, but I think objectively speaking I would agree with your 2s. Ironically, I think Lin and Pegg benefited from Abrams and company setting the bar so low in the previous films in much the same manner as Abrams benefited from the wonderful setup work done by Lucas in that other, inferior, franchise ;-).

I liked the other third. But I can't give a high rating to something that's good for 40 minutes and drivel for the other 80.matthewweflenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07540521459703556959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4400152815785368447.post-68848772976291718022017-01-05T18:38:43.355-06:002017-01-05T18:38:43.355-06:00I would have to agree that Krall is the worst vill...I would have to agree that Krall is the worst villain in all of the films. His motivation is baffling, the amount of make up/CGI is insane, and I disliked his ultimate plan.<br /><br />But I appear to have liked everything else more than you guys did. So I guess I will just shrug.Rocketboy1313https://www.blogger.com/profile/08319848550470396208noreply@blogger.com
