Farecoal posted:Well, there's no horribly dense jargon but there is extreme over-analyzing! To be honest though, I haven't actually watched any Transformer anything, so, uh, yeah Yeah, fancy the nerve of that poster trying to analyze a set of popular films on a film discussion board!

FrensaGeran posted:Exactly. Racism is walking the other side of the sidewalk because you saw a group of black men walking towards you. Replace those black guys with Klingons and you're probably seen as a heads up individual with a preference for not being stabbed. It's ok because klingons really are bloodthirsty murderers? What the hell?

Some Other Guy posted:I get that it's a cool visual but could you explain the conceptual value to me? I don't see how this is some sort of visual metaphor for something. Film is made up almost entirely of visual metaphors. It's not as if it's a real spaceship that someone just happened to capture on film. What ideals does the Enterprise represent? With just a trailer it's difficult to know what the water here is, but there's tons of things it could be.

What awful poo poo? The discussion of what things mean in a film? I'm sorry if I'm not interested in the in universe canonical explanation for why the enterprise can't go underwater and the filmmakers are idiots or whatever the main discussion in here is.

MadScientistWorking posted:Why the hell does the flagship of an major organization look decrepit and militaristic? Hey guys we come in peace. Don't mind the fact that our ship looks rather mean and nasty looking. Surely this could be seen as revealing something about the true nature of the federation? That they claim to come in peace and are utopian and all that but they're actually forcing their utopia on other races.

ComposerGuy posted:I think the refit from TMP looks huge because they spend 10 goddamn minutes doing flybys of it at the start of the film. And then of course later on when they're inside V'ger the thing is like an ant in someone's car or something.

Maybe even genetic supermen can have emotions and human qualities like hubris???

OrganizedEntropy posted:Well, at least the producers did think about it though! This chart uses velocities that were given for each value of warp in the Star Trek TNG Technical Manual. This image is peak fandom, saying absolutely nothing at all with a poo poo ton of words.

With the life giving blood thing I hope they just go the whole hog and make Khan a Jesus figure.

AlternateAccount posted:Abrams has repeated in a few interviews that it's basically a "cool thing" that he likes. It's purely stylistic. And really, for people that like it, I suppose that's enough. I think this is the most verbose he's been on the subject: http://io9.com/5230278/jj-abrams-admits-star-trek-lens-flares-are-ridiculous Who cares what he said in some interview, watch the movie and figure out what it means.
