Frog Act posted:my brother told me it wasn' tlike the last two which both left me basically apoplectic so in my defense i really didn't think i was going to a comic book movie this time this time around they played more of the beastie boys song and the skydiving analog wasn't all in the same direction

i'm glad that they pulled of the futurama "ahhh classical music" joke which makes lil carthief kirk at the beginning of the first one quite a bit more cultured in retrospect

THC posted:if the bad guy's human, why does he look like that? If it's a side effect of his blue lightning powers, why do all his bad guy minions look like that too? We only ever see the one guy use it. Are they all former Franklin crew members or are they natives of the planet? Where did they come from? Whats going on The alien life leeching device had a side effect of making him look like the alien society that left behind the drone army and swarm ships. The other guy who wasn't a drone was the only other surviving member of the Franklin's crew.

The JJ movies version of the Federation looks like the Federation from Starship Troopers, right down to the grey, fascist inspired uniforms. At least in Beyond they got some nice blue field jackets that reminded me of the decent costuming from Enterprise.

"Do you believe every sad story you hear?" ~ her line to Kirk. There were three survivors of the Franklin, this is said directly. She was the other one.

That makes no sense though, why would the universal translator need to be recalibrated for her? She could just speak English.

So part of her lying was spending 150 years developing a functioning alien language so far removed from English that the universal translator could only translate into robot speak? Wait, I'm over thinking this. I liked the movie.

I wrote an unpublished essay after I watched Into Darkness and I justified the recent Trek movies as modern action films and I can appreciate them as such. The TV series stories were mostly ethical dramas, thrillers, horror, or comedies which I appreciate too but I can see why expectations are way off. They really didn't have the budget to make good action TV most of the time and there isn't enough of an audience to make a movie about Quark dressed as a woman.

Frog Act posted:it was jarring and stupid Walking out of a movie is one of the most arrogant pissbaby things a grown man can do. You've already paid for the movie, no one gives a single poo poo what you do after that transaction, and your grand exit goes completely unnoticed by everyone other than yourself. Just watch the loving movie. Everyone who's ever gone to the theater has seen a poo poo movie at one time or another and it's never killed them. At the very least, sitting through garbage gives you a useful metric for what works and doesn't work in film. That said, the Beastie Boys resolution was telegraphed 30 minutes in and if you thought it was jarring, then you weren't paying attention to the film. It's also an obvious metaphor for the Kelvin films honoring their cinematic heritage while simultaneously forging their own path. That's the theme of the entire loving movie. It's literally spelled out in the first ten minutes with McCoy and Kirk toasting the dead elder Kirk.

They repeated the Magic Carpet sample as I recall. But it fit. DS9- the Maquis two parter: The whole first episode the colony head honcho looked really familiar but I couldn't place him. Police Academy? No. .... Then a minute into the second it hit me- a character from my childhood home's favorite films - the Tri-lamb guy from Revenge of the Nerds! (Mom pushed the movie on 12 year old me not knowing about the nude parts or pot scene).
