Some Other Guy posted:This actually brings me to a small complaint about something I didn't like about the first movie: the depiction of earth. You got facist looking speeder-bike cops, huge canyons in Illinois from strip-mining, and apparently corporations such as Nokia and Anheiser Busch still flourish after poverty and want have been eliminated. I miss communist-Utopia Star Trek I made this case in the TVIV Trek thread, but considering it's firmly established as a separate universe from TOS/TNG/etc, I feel like it's a bit like being annoyed that the Mirror Universe is dark and over-the-top.

If they don't dip into the water every once in a while, how else are they going to fill up their engineering/comic relief tubes in the brewery section of the ship?

Polo-Rican posted:(Avatar failed at a lot of things but nailed fantastical settings). And Avatar didn't use that exact same color scheme that you're complaining about at all!    You seem to be ignoring the bright red planet shown in the trailers, and the fact that people are saying that colours are actually used well in the 9-minute preview. And shots like these:    Which aren't graded at all like the ones that you're talking about. thexerox123 fucked around with this message at 15:49 on Dec 18, 2012 |

Cheesus posted:It didn't make sense to my why the Enterprise would be dropping instead of gliding Also, you know, those shots seem to show it starting from above the atmosphere, where there is no air to make gliding a thing? Once it hit the atmosphere at that trajectory, it would probably be more likely to start flipping and spiraling rather than any sort of gliding. thexerox123 fucked around with this message at 15:02 on Feb 4, 2013 |

I hope this means that Spock is going to be in a fatsuit for the first half of the movie.

Alchenar posted:I said this in the Star Wars thread, but sci-fi has a real lack of proactive female characters that it really should work to fix. Ripley in Alien? Carter or Dr. Weir in the Stargate Franchise? Several Firefly characters? Sarah Connor? Dana Scully? I'm pretty sure sci-fi is not even remotely lacking in that regard, unless you're still living in the 70s. (Star Trek and Star Wars aren't necessarily the best examples, though. But, Star Trek certainly isn't the worst, either.) thexerox123 fucked around with this message at 17:04 on Feb 21, 2013 |

ImpAtom posted:There's a very real argument to make about the Firefly characters and every other one you mentioned there is from the 90s or earlier. I can throw down some more recent ones: Olivia, Astrid, and Nina in Fringe, several characters in Utopia, several characters in Misfits, Selena in 28 Days Later... What difference does it make that a bunch of the examples were from things from the 90s? thexerox123 fucked around with this message at 17:19 on Feb 21, 2013 |

MadScientistWorking posted:You name a franchise that spans a decade and you can only name two proactive women. Stargate? Well, I'm just in Atlantis Season 2/SG-1 Season 9 right now, but I could easily name more just off the top of my head. Dr. Fraiser, I would imagine Vala gets some character development, but I've only seen the one episode with her so far, Teyla... It wasn't that I could only name 2, I just wasn't about to name every single proactive female character in the franchise, I was just trying to give some main-character examples. And I'm sure some of my examples could be debated, but I'm also sure that other people could name many others. thexerox123 fucked around with this message at 17:57 on Feb 21, 2013 |

Young Freud posted:Yeah, I'd prefer the hulking humanoid Godzilla dudes with insect eyes to humanoid velociraptors. It's worth noting that only two out of the many different types of Gorn apparently in the game are in that trailer. You're going to get your hulking humanoid Godzilla ones, too. (Although even in that video, none of them look quite like the classic Gorn. I do miss the insect eyes.)
