JH Sounds Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 The funny thing about Star Trek: Countdown is that it more or less spoils the gag when Spock enters old Spock's ship. I laughed, but not for the same reasons everyone else in the theater laughed. Also OMG NYOTA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninja-san Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 Saw the movie last night. Gotta saw one of the best films I've seen in a while. Spock's ship when flying is the cutest ship ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MajLink Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 Just saw it yesterday, and I must say the commercials don't do it any justice. Star trek is way better than any of the commercials so I highly recommend seeing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jam Stunna Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 yeah guys tyler perry I mean who does he think he is all being an actor and playing a minor role in a film That would be accurate if Tyler Perry were actually an actor instead of a modern-day blaxploitation hack.

Secret Agent Man Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Were we watching the same movie? Because that's what they played during the credits. Or at least the first half, with the space panoramas and big name actors. I was wrong. I am not familiar with the original Star Trek theme, apparently. I was listening for the main theme to The Next Generation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleck Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 That would be accurate if Tyler Perry were actually an actor instead of a modern-day blaxploitation hack. yeah because blaxploitation isn't real acting I heard they passed a law a while back that black people aren't allowed to be real actors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdgeCrusher Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 yeah because blaxploitation isn't real actingI heard they passed a law a while back that black people aren't allowed to be real actors Yeah, also theyre not allowed to make real music, thats why there is rap.

Toadofsky Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 are you blackno why do you care I don't think that they get that sort of comedy (Kind of like Johnson Family Vacation, I just didn't find that movie funny at all). That sounds incredibly racist, I know, and I humbly apologize to any if that offends... I'm gonna get banned for that comment for sure ... What was your feelings on the movie Nekofrog? I'm curious...

Azure Prower Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 I came. I saw. It kicked ass. It was only a little short for what the movie contained and the antagonist is too easily done away with. Although I like how they captured the dread of the antagonist's frightening looking dreadnaught. Just the movie was a bunch of awesome special effects with little and silly reasoning for the antagonist motives. Though I would of loved to actually see the mass battle before the Enterprise warped into the debris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lotd2242 Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 I was wrong about this movie. It was not Star Trek 90210. It was Star Trek: The Michael Bay Edition, and the part of me that really enjoys that kind of mindless action flick was satisfied. Problem is if it did not have the Star Trek label on it, nobody would care much about yet another retelling of Generic SciFi Action Movie #2, complete with product placement and revenge-bent villain, because this was pretty much forgettable and unremarkable in every way. As far as the Star Trek label is concerned, "this isn't your father's Star Trek" is a total understatement. This isn't Star Trek at all. Change the names and round off some ears, and you'd have no idea this movie had anything to do with Star Trek with the lone exception of Urban's McCoy, who manages to channel his inner Bones quite a few times, even though several parts felt utterly forced to the point of being like a parody (particularly the inevitable "I'm a doctor not a..." that felt completely out of place.) Also, New Chekov is possibly the most annoying SciFi character since Jar Jar Binks. The military structure in this movie is atrocious too, which is sad considering how anal Rodenberry was about it in the original series. These people are getting promoted left and right just because they happen to be there, especially New Kirk. I'd probably be more displeased, but spoilers prepared me for most of the exceptionally retarded stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleck Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 the best thing about when somebody denounces a film as 'Micheal Bay'-esque is how quickly you can assume that they don't know anything about film this reminds me of all those attention seekers who said The Dark Knight was bad just because they wanted to be different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotd2242 Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Describing something as Michael Bay-esque is just shorthand for "this movie is a bunch of over-the-top action sequences strung together by a contrived and flimsy plotline." Sometimes it's a lot of fun, but it's rarely anything special. As for the Dark Knight, that was saved from mediocrity by Ledger's Joker. He single-handedly made that movie worth the price of admission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
