Star Trek Movie Not To Be Missed

[Sledgehammer427]

And Lucas - is a fantastic special effects insider - and one of the worst story tellers known in business.

that's like saying "He's a great musician, but he's butt-ugly and can't tune his guitar." at least to me anyways

I disagree. For star Wars IV, under his supervision some new camera technology was developed, and he always establishes close monitoring of FX technicians working under his command. He surely knows what can be done with visual effects and computer graphics, and certainly knows a bit on how to do that, as he also knows how to run his busines and make a fortune. That does not chnage the fact that the Star Wars movies - like them or not like them or like the first three and dislike the last three - have a very simple, almost naive narration structure and the stories they tell are stories very often told before. Es special as the movies are, effects-wise, as simplistic they are by their content, and as flat they are by their narration structure.

To be clear, I like SW 4-6, and respect the visual graphics in SW 1-3, but dislike 1-3 nevertheless. SW 5 to me is the best and most atmospheric, tense narration of all the six movies. There is a huge difference between LOTR and SW, imo: in SW, FX dominate the story and almost flatten it, in LOTR the FX serve the story and adequately, not dominantly, transports and supports the narration. In SW story is close to nothing and effects are everything, especially in the new trilogy, while in LOTR both story and effects are solid.

My friends and I are psyched about the new trek. Zachery Quinto ( Slyar from Heroes ) looks like he has spock down pat. I didn't even know they were filming a new trek until I heard about it a month ago. I thought the francised pretty died with the flop Enterprise series.

As for Lucas, the Episode III DVD I received for Christmas two years ago is still in it's shrink wrap. Jar Jar binks and the horrible Anakin Skywalker actor ruined the prequels for me. The prequels had amazing effects, but that was about it.
