Title: NEW STAR TREK FILM Post by: The Sweeney on May 08, 2009, 07:41:51 PM Anyone seen it? Got good reviews on the radio today so think I'll invest my ten bucks and go see it at the cinema.
On the subject of good films, I enjoyed Liam Neeson's latest offering, 'Taken'. Available on DVD, though if you wait a couple of months, it'll be a fiver rather than the overpriced fourteen or fifteen pounds they command when first released. Shades of 'Bourne', it's good entertaining nonsense. Title: Re: NEW STAR TREK FILM Post by: Newmanseye on May 09, 2009, 02:45:18 PM I just watched it, Great movie, Thankfully it had none of the cheesiness of the original startrek or the subsequent other movies from the franchise.
well worth a watch IMHO Title: Re: NEW STAR TREK FILM Post by: paulhouk03 on May 09, 2009, 02:54:54 PM Anyone seen it?

Title: Re: NEW STAR TREK FILM Post by: Newmanseye on May 09, 2009, 04:38:22 PM You rthink Wynona Ryder had tp die in the film or they did that cos they caught her pinching the props to sell on Ebay?

F*** you and your spoilers Title: Re: NEW STAR TREK FILM Post by: Tinsel Town on May 09, 2009, 05:18:31 PM Saw it yesterday...thought it was really good.
The way it ended looks like there will be a lot more of them over the next few years too. I want to see more of Scotty's wee pal...lol TT Title: Re: NEW STAR TREK FILM Post by: Newmanseye on May 09, 2009, 05:41:36 PM You rthink Wynona Ryder had tp die in the film or they did that cos they caught her pinching the props to sell on Ebay? F*** you and your spoilers FFS its not like i said the klingons decided to have a space orgy ffs, i didnt give out anything major Title: Re: NEW STAR TREK FILM Post by: bobAlike on May 09, 2009, 11:11:41 PM Just seen it and was pretty impressed.
Excellent casting really captured the original feel. Title: Re: NEW STAR TREK FILM Post by: bhoywonder on May 09, 2009, 11:14:31 PM brilliant movie..seen it last nght,thought the characters were great and their little traits beginning to show through....I didnt know x and y were an item way back when though...?
btw Bana is unrecognisable as the enemy main character Title: Re: NEW STAR TREK FILM Post by: Hairydude on May 09, 2009, 11:20:33 PM Thought it was great-I used to pretty much hate Star Trek but this seemed a bit different and I was right- a lot more action packed than usual and almost like Starwarslike- thought all the characters were great in it,
Had to come home and check all the actors(the geek that I am) as I knew I knew some of the faces but didnt know from where- Bana did look different with his bald head and wynona Rider was a wierd one cuz I wasnt expecting it- cant wait for more to get released.

F*** you and your spoilers FFS its not like i said the klingons decided to have a space orgy ffs, i didnt give out anything major lol Saw it tonight. Pretty decent effects, which is high praise from me coz usually I can't stand all that modern swish swosh in your face CG tosh. Dialogue coulda been mucho better. Script a bit weak on that front imo. All in all, a good film. 4/5 stars Title: Re: NEW STAR TREK FILM Post by: CelticGeezeer on May 10, 2009, 04:22:23 AM The cast and special effects were great but the story was pretty much the same as every other star trek film. That said I did enjoy it but it wont be a classic.

Some similarities with Star Wars in regard storyline.
Thought the guy that played bones was pretty spot on. Chekov started to rritate tovards the end Best Trekkie film yet Title: Re: NEW STAR TREK FILM Post by: duncthehat on May 11, 2009, 05:19:35 PM BTW Simon Pegg - wtf was that about. totally miscast as Scotty
Title: Re: NEW STAR TREK FILM Post by: sledge13 on May 12, 2009, 03:46:15 PM 4/5 here...but deffo more a Star Wars style, ie an action film, 1st half a lot better than the 2nd I thought as old Spock is a bit over done and just randomly pops up.
Title: Re: NEW STAR TREK FILM Post by: amcgrath1uk on May 12, 2009, 04:06:37 PM IMAX screen is just WOW. Worth a second look just because of the screen.
Title: Re: NEW STAR TREK FILM Post by: thetank on May 12, 2009, 04:28:56 PM BTW Simon Pegg - wtf was that about. totally miscast as Scotty Given his rant about Jar Jar Binks in his sitcom Spaced, kinda ironic that he has now essentially become Jar Jar Binks in this Star Trek film. Title: Re: NEW STAR TREK FILM Post by: Newmanseye on May 12, 2009, 07:24:09 PM BTW Simon Pegg - wtf was that about. totally miscast as Scotty Given his rant about Jar Jar Binks in his sitcom Spaced, kinda ironic that he has now essentially become Jar Jar Binks in this Star Trek film. I would hardly go as far as to say he is the Jar jar Binks of Star trek tbh, the first scotty was a Canadian, this time they chose an Englishman, its a lots bloody closer than the original cast. As for his mannerisms and ability to play the character he seemed to convey the dynamic traits that we came to enjoy form the overall character development of Scotty. IMHO good job Simon Pegg, he played a better Scotsman than Mel Gibson did and Mel wore a kilt. jarjarbinks indeed, that collossus of a blunder will always haunt George Lucas even when he counts his Billions of $$$$$ Title: Re: NEW STAR TREK FILM Post by: Hairydude on May 12, 2009, 08:43:49 PM BTW Simon Pegg - wtf was that about. totally miscast as Scotty Given his rant about Jar Jar Binks in his sitcom Spaced, kinda ironic that he has now essentially become Jar Jar Binks in this Star Trek film.

I actually thought most of the characters had a kinda tongue in cheek star trek persona but that just added to it IMO Title: Re: NEW STAR TREK FILM Post by: Alverton on May 13, 2009, 01:13:39 PM You rthink Wynona Ryder had tp die in the film or they did that cos they caught her pinching the props to sell on Ebay? Bruce Willis is a ghost in the Sixth Sense. Nothing major though. |
