The original is good, but weird.

2 and 3 are silly fun, more action-ish

4 is a boring clipshow meant to promote a sequel that was never made

5 when it finally got made only a few years ago was a loving mess

im watching the new 4k transfer of star track 6 and while it looks pretty good this cut sucks rear end. apparently there was a special edition cut and when spock is interrogating lt valeris it flashes a photo of the conspirators as they're named. its really really bad.

yeah and, i haven't seen the new 4k transfer yet, but i remember in the DVD special edition, the photo flashes were cut in at a different frame rate than the film, so they were even more jarring and hosed up the flow of the scene

that's honestly a bad scene overall, though. it's hosed up that spock brutalizes valeris for information she wound up not having, then just shrugs and says captain sulu would know it (why??)

i feel like the directors cut showing that the assassin wasn't actually a klingon is important but having just watched the theatrical cut, it didn't matter much after all

shaggar posted it. it looks terrible

i like the scene, though. while you're right that it's basically mind rape, that's kind of the point: spock is desperate for information he believes would stop a presidential assassination, making it an extreme measure for an extreme situation. both actors sell the gently caress out of it being brutal, and imo one of the things that really makes it well directed also is leonard nemoy sounding broken when he says "she doesn't know"

these posts wouldn't be so irritating if they weren't always so confidently wrong

- at mach 10 and (say) 80,000 feet, the equivalent airspeed is about 1000 knots due to pressure and temperature differences. that's what the airframe, or an ejecting person, "feels." not 7,000 mph windblast.
- the space shuttle ejection seats used in the first few flights were rated for about 3000 knots, and presumably they would use the same type here
- maverick is wearing a pressure suit similar to the space shuttle LES, too
- or maybe the darkstar has an escape capsule like a number of other very-high-speed aircraft
- people have by chance survived things that are supposed to be fatal; there's no guarantee that maverick would have been killed in a high speed ejection even if it was very dangerous

the problem with top gun is a computer generated action sequence not that it’s jingoistic military propaganda starring the guy who is p much keeping an abusive cult in business with his movie income

watched the new hellraiser last night it was decent but I feel bad for people who don’t have properly calibrated tvs because easily a third of the movie was real dark

there was no naval fighter aviation in wwi so no top gun school :hist101:

that said flying a plane back then was genuinely terrifying because they were mostly made of canvas and glue and it would be neat to see someone try to do a god job capturing the vibe

also if you go early enough then the planes didn't have guns so if you saw the enemy you either just waved at them or tried to shoot them with your pistol

he can hop out of the cockpit into a triplane below and fight the pilot, or maybe just shoot him with a cool vintage pistol for action guys

the first instances of aerial bombing were just pilots taking a bag of mortar shells with them to drop over the side
