Great movie, I won't give any spoilers but it is indeed a considerable change in direction. As you will notice when you watch it, Engineering is quite...different.
Also, Minmatar use duct tape and chewing gum, I didn't see any  ------------------------ Low-sec is like sailing along the coast of Somalia...

As soon as I saw the tattoos on the Romulans I thought "Holly ****! The Minmatar have evolved from that failrace, the Romulans" and this was also the impression from the ship. It looked very crappy inside. ============== Office use ONLY ==============

Once you get past it being filmed entirely in klingon with english subtitles, it's a very good movie. |

Edited by: Tiny Tove on 08/05/2009 12:09:35 Did the good guys win? I'm guessing yes.
Did they win after being taken to the brink of defeat? Did they in near defeat, discover a noble sacrifice that guarantees victory? Did they bicker amongst themselves as to who gets to pay the sacrifice? Did they explain to the errrr, specially gifted Standard Star Trek Audience, how the plan was going to work and encapsulate it in a simple metaphor, like blowing up a balloon? Did the plan nearly fail? Did they then go on to win? Did the sacrifice turn out to be an actual bonus in the end?
Yes, I'm right aren't I?
You had your game. It sucked. In fact, they ALL sucked.

To Kill A Mockingbird. Quote: withnail and i
still comes down to conflict - without conflict there is no movie - to kill a mockingbird takes place in a courtroom - to tell me there is no conflict in that story is pure tripe - the same with withnail and I, the conflict is within him sturggling to come to terms with how his life is heading... i dabble in writing (being an author an all) so i think i know what i am talking about ;)

Don't come here holding our response up to a different criteria to the one you laid down in the first place.
You might think you know a thing or two about writing, but I challenge that on the evidence above.
Let's not even bother that your premise ignores all other film genres, comedy, documentarial, ****, horror, the list goes on and on.
Amelie.
It's not even difficult to find a film that is truely excellent that falls outside of the Hollywood formula, it's hilarious that you're holding to it.
City Of God. Not even any good guys in it... can't imagine how you think the good guys win.
What on earth possessed you to even say anything quite as ridiculous anyway?

you are missing the point - all films no matter what the subject material HAVE to have at the heart of them some basic conflict (wether it be emotional or physical.

the hero's journey
act 1 scene 1 the hero is introduced in their ORDINARY WORLD where scene 2 - they receive the CALL TO ADVENTURE scene 3 - they are RELUCTANT at first or REFUSE THE CALL but scene 4 - they MEET WITH and are encouraged by a MENTOR to scene 5 - CROSS THE 1st THRESHOLD and enter the special world where act 2 scene 1 - They APPROACH THE INMOST CABE, crossing a second threshold. scene 2 - where they endure the SUPREME ORDEAL scene 3 - they take possession of their REWARD and act 3 scene 1 - are pursued on THE ROAD BACK to their ordinary world. scene 2 - they cross the third threshold, experience a RESSURRECTION and are transformed by the experience. scene 3 - they RETURN WITH THE ELIXIR a boon or treasure to benifit the ordinary world..
this is the basic plot of every single film...a character goes off out of their comfort zone where they do something out of the ordinary..I have never seen amalie, but from what i understand it's about a french chick who goes off to see the world with some stuffed toy or something - she meets obsticles that she must overcome (conflicts) bla bla bla. it is the same for every film...sorry... too easy.

That's NOT what you said.
You can tell what you said by simply scrolling up and READING what you said.
You have simply changed your standpoint and declared victory. If you were the first person on the internet to use that argumentative construct I could understand how you might think you just won something perhaps. But you're simply not even in the first million people to do it.
Yes, I rather imagine it is TOO EASY for you to "WIN" something this way. Now, when you've grown out of it, get back to me. If all you have are further examples of it or other such common internet nonsense, then get prepared for derisive laughter, because me assuming you're an adult and continuing to respond to you like you are despite your continued efforts to prove your not will not continue any further.

I did say this, i said 99% of all movies follow your basic premise....that basic premise is the same as I have quoted above I am sorry if you do not see this...you were trying to critise a film that you have not seen by pretending it was the only type of movie to follow your simplistic premise...and I told you it was not...I have now proven to you that it is not. I have shown you that conflict is in all types of movies, and that the way to resolve the conflict is by confronting it...wether it is emotional or physical....without conflict there is no movie...i never said it had to have bad guys, it's your vision of what defines conflict that is wrong, not mine....and too be fair I tire of your attempts to think otherwise...go back to your pod.

Bit of a poor choice to use as an example, seeing as it isn't a standalone film... The whole star wars saga, does follow the common movie style - Your are just in a sense, you are basically making a conclusion from 'one' scene in a film.
p.s - I just got back from the movie, got me wanting to play eve all the way through, but I was also thinking of the Minmatar when Romulans came on, should make a feature length eve film, theirs definetly enough fluff to make a story from.

lots of minmatar looking stuff in that movie.
Warp sound is cool.
Look more like an eve movie but with the enterprise, kirk and spook in it to be honest.
Still a nice movie.

Saw it tonight and it was incredible. Definately heard hands clapping at the end. New warp effect was great and will make your clothes shake. Phasers were great, new weapons systems were great!! I love the way the ships phasers work (without spoiling anything) and the music was awesome. So much homage to TOS without being overdone and campy..the actors played their parts so well.
And the opening scene with the Kelvin was dramatic as ****! Hit me much much harder than when "Data" was killed off....meh to that.
If you dont like this movie in one way, shape or form then you are just a tard. Fact...not opinion.

I wouldnt be worried about that, we went as a group. It was the only decent thing on apparently, out of 8 of us, I seamed to be the only one who really wanted to watch it...
Everyone came out saying it was good/great, and glad they went.
Its alot more contemporary than the other movies, less geeky, but still geeky. It isn't usual star trek humour, but does have some inside jokes still (which front row Trekkie's made very clear laughs to be sure everyone knew, that they knew, what the joke was.)
When it has Sylar from Heroes in it, Cho from American Pie and Harold and Kumar (The Asian guy)it suggests its a bit lighter.

I was really impressed. Spoiler below.
I couldn't believe they did an entire reboot of the storyline. Ironically though Kirk still found Spock, Scotty, etc. Perhaps even though things have changed theirs a force in the universe there that will still make Jean'Luc Picard find his way to the Enterprise, Sisko to DS9, Janeway to the Delta Quadrant, etc.
They made it realistic but still kept the traits that made it Star Trek.
I look forward to more films.

You must be one of those stuck-up snoody Trekies that believe TOS is "their" show and no one else should touch it or even think about it. Let me guess? You wanted the Enterprise to look like they ripped it right out of TOS 30 years ago with the strings still attached and all? Did you just not understand the story and idea of an "alternate" universe and believe TOS is the be all end all?
Why exactly did you not like it? The acting was great...everyone played their parts so well. The special effects were ace (loved the space battles and the lense flare). I loved the fact that the ships phasers were turrets that came up out of the ship (awesome idea). The music was dramatic and fit the film nicely (I loved the TOS theme for the closing credits). And its definately left open for more films to come....I cant wait!
So would you like to elaborate why you didnt like it?

No. Dumbazz Kirk and his teenage freedom fighters had to save the friggin' world.
You need to lobotomise the part of your brain that contains all definitions of Good, to believe what Kirk and his half-adult gang is doing is not bad.
That's how bad it is.
Or imagine to be peeing out of the highest window of a skyscr4per and you actually manage to hit a toilet, because the toilet is in a house a half mile away from you and because someone left the window open, and including a swarm of butterflies in China, which allowed for your urine to fly through the air and to end in one perfect stream in said toilet. And without any splashes to the toilet seat, making the entire act a Good Thing(TM).
That's how bad it is.
Or when you are a white, horny male and cannot get a black woman to have sex with you, you therefore choose a woman whose skin colour is ... neither black nor white. I will not say what colour it was but if sex is not sick enough already then this has made it worse.
That's how bad it is. -- If there is anything in your life you fear of losing, then keep your mouth shut once in a while. |

Good movie... but I guess all the series since TOS didn't happen.
Do we need brand new versions on TOS, Next Generation, Deep Space Nine an Voyager? I think we do, cause no way after such a huge change is the galaxy going to turn out the same. And will all the characters be played by sexy sexy teens? I think they will.

I disagree. All that happened DID happen. Just that at some point in that future, Spock got sent to the past, so did Neeroy, and things were changed. So everything did happen, it's just that the present came into the past and now the past is the present.
It's hard to understand but fundamentally this doesn't erase anything.

Prior to seeing this movie, my knowledge of Star Trek came almost entirely from pop culture references. Amazingly this allowed me to go through the whole film without ever being confused once.

I disagree. The events in this movie changed history. All the ST episodes, after Enterprise, can't have happened the way they were originally depicted. So everything must be revisited unless we are gonna use the cheap out that it's an alternate time line.

Yes. This was the best bit of casting in the whole movie. I want to see him get his own Star Trek series.
I just hope when they make the next one we don't see anybody that's ever been in any other Star Trek tv show or movie. Star Trek does that all the time and it sucks. I think Capn Jim was the only original cast member not to appear in TNG.

I agree, that film cannot have the same roots as any Star Trek, its was a badly written generic sci-fi, with ST references and names added in to "sell it". It's not Star Trek, its like on of those bad (high qualtiy production) fan films, that have no basis in what they're supposed to be based on.

About the time when they considered that having a warehouse for Engineering was appropriate.

I'm in agreement with these reviews. I did enjoy it but had to leave me brain at the door. 6/10
At least now I see that anyone can make movies these days. All you need is silly half baked script, lots of action, shaky cam, nice boobs and boom boom explosions and CGI overload and fans will fill in the blanks in silly story and plotholes themselves and think that the movie as making them think. Done. |

Why on Khales's name did they have to make another "continuity"-raping prequel.
Here is a radical thought: Make a movie set after the dominios wars. I rembmer that time being referred to as a turbulent one. Klingon Empire licking its wounds, Cardassia slwoly transforming from a dictatorship into something else, the Federation trying to play the white knight, and the Rumulans being sneeky bastarsd.
How about a group within the Fed that actually is not all doo-goodery and does some uncvanny things in Cardassia. Maybe the Cardassian dont want Fed style "democracy" just yet. maybe they are helped by the romulans. Maybe this time, the Federation could actually be playing the role of the meddling bad guys.
Would still fit within ST "canon" (after all, we know from DS9 that the Federation does have its ratrher shady black ops parts), and we could see some screentime from the only DS9 character worth it: garak.

Because you couldn't product place, introduce deadly bridge screens, and it couldn't be remade into Star Wars.
