Mr. Plinkett noticed some similarities between JJ Abrams' new Star Trek film and other Star Trek films.

Spot on, absolutely spot on.

Aaaaand, the sad thing is, I spotted most of those references/rips whilst watching the film...

Dowly · 06-01-13, 11:35 AM

Haven't seen it yet.. or the 2009 one, too many pretty people and lens flares.

Anywho, didnt remember when making the first post that RedLetterMedia did an
actual review of it too (non-Plinkett):

Saw this movie a couple of weeks ago. I wish I had never heard of a lens flare. Started counting them. Then lost interest. When Kirk went into the reactor I looked around the theatre to see if any one else noticed this rip off. It didn't seem to bother anybody.

Any way, the wife enjoyed it but then she's easily impressed. She married me.

Only opens here next Thursday! Incredible late compare with other countries, weird. Know some spoilers but will go see it to see what and why! But i kind like the review that Mr. Plinkett did to the first one!

Hello,
was in the film 2 days ago with wife. I found the characters very shallow, and Scotty was absolutely no comparison to the real one - in fact they could have taken anyone else, and it would not have been a big difference.
Spock is highly illogical - and a tête à tête with Uhura ? Really ?

Some critic on the US way of killing insurgents, drones, and secret organisations violating (here) space-wide law in clandestine operations.

And ..
- how old is Kirk supposed to be, in this 'second' early StarTrek ?
- Whatever those 'aliens' depicted as "Klingons" were - they sure were NO KLINGONS !
- Why do space ships able to hit each other over millions of miles, have to hover at a 100 meters distance to shoot at each other ?

Gigantic megalomanic BIG cgi effects, too much shooting and scrapping, with fist hits sounding like a Panzerfaust hitting a brick wall all the time.
Eastern Kung Fu films look like a kindergarden compared to this.

The <= 17 year-old will love it.

Meh.

I am not surprised that it is crap most modern films are total crap.Best part was 2:40-2:53.

BrucePartington · 06-01-13, 07:58 PM

I have to thank you guys, you just saved me my time and money. I was disapointed with the last Star Trek, and was hoping Into Darkness were far better. Good plots are being replaced by cgi and mind warping action sequences, much like excess seasoning to try and mask poor cooking and sour food. They will never make anything like Undiscovered Country again.

Hey Dowly thanks for posting that video I have been watching Mr. Plinkett reviews "Star Wars The Phantom Menace" I have not laughed so much in a long time.

If you posted it before I must have missed it.

Yeah, I posted the Star Wars ep 1-3 videos ages ago, or someone. Good stuff nevertheless.

After that 2009 abomination, I am not giving Jar Jar Abrams any of my money. Other people seem to like his movies though.

I agree, the early years sounded good so I went along only to see unfold before my very eyes the time line screwed up and changed which got the two fingers from me. Every copy of that 2009 abomination should be burt 100% as for the 2013 I will leave that to those of you who have seen it and walked away cheesed off.

KKKKKHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNN! said by Mr. Spoc!

Jus come from seeing the movie! Not as bad I thought, good action/sci-fy film. As a Star Trek movie,

and as a ST II remake

!

Did a enormous effort not to laugh when the Enterprise was under water:"

"Fry: How many atmospheres can the ship withstand?
Professor Hubert Farnsworth: Well, it was built for space travel, so anywhere between zero and one."

What the hell was that gons? A mix of the TOS and ST:TMO and beyond? The language was soften, more chinese like?
The new "Excelsior" crash landed and the anti-matter doesn't go off? Transporters are useless around the film. The lens flares

! The torpedos tubes were a la naval guns? WTF?
Red shirts did not die; red shirts jokes!? And just so SW in many ways!
Were are the Dilithium crystals?

Positive aspects: Mr. Holmes gives a great performance as the villain and the lingerie scene of Dra. Marcus!

Funny thing, we have here the daily show, with 2 or 3 weeks off. Yesterday the guest was JJ Abrams. During the interview he said that he didn't like ST, all his friends did and he tried but could not like it, for him he always thought the shows were very philosophical. And the co-writer for this movie never had seen any episodes/movies of the series.

Yep, one can tell that!

Tomorrow going to re see ST II! Just to clear my organism!

PS, the miss spelling errors of Spock was because the subtitles were bad during the movie, letters were missing, so Spock was Spoc, Jim ir, gons, and others word errors!

Oberon · 06-06-13, 08:07 PM

Glad it wasn't just me who thought there was a bit of Star Wars seeping in there, particularly when it comes to the uniforms.

Ah well, hopefully Abrams will now bring his 'magic' to the Star Wars universe, so all those Star Wars fans laughing at our fate will face their own apocalypse.
