Star Trek (2009) - OFFICIAL REVIEW THREAD

[Eug]

Today's Fringe has Clint Howard in it, and refers to the evil soldiers of Khan Noonien Singh.

"And sitting directly behind us? Samuel L. Jackson. And he was looking directly back at me.

Me: ?Oh! Hello.?

Jorge turns around to see who I?m saying hello to and has about the same exact reaction.

Jorge: ?Oh, wow! Hi there.?

Samuel L. Jackson: ?Turn the fuck around and shut the fuck up, motherfucker!?"


That is awesome... if it was only the truth 🙂

Trekkies Bash New Star Trek Film As 'Fun, Watchable'

What I don't get is that the "cream of the crop" have usually posted their reviews by now with the opening only two days away.

Is there an NDA I wonder?

36 for 36 positive at RT now. Metacritic so far has a score of 94, an average from 8 reviews.

Why couldn't Star Wars prequels be fun and watchable 🙁

 

[40Hands]

I can't wait to see this flick. Pew! pew! pew!

Because George Lucas sucks the good out of any project he touches like a vampire. Further proof of this irrefutable fact can be found in the last Indiana Jones movie.

Do you think someone who's never seen Star Trek would be able to enjoy such a movie?

Yes.

You and I were in synch when we saw that... I was thinking, wait, Clint Howard IS an alien and should know who Khan is. 😀

We have our first negative review at RT. We are now at 45/46, or 98%.

My skepticism isn?t a matter of lacking fan devotion but simply of Star Trek breezing along familiarly?even appropriating The Beastie Boys? ?Sabotage??yet not measuring up. Leonard Nimoy?s guest-star voiceover epilogue about man, ?Boldly going where no one has gone before,? feels as false as Fox News? ?Fair and Balanced? slogan. Turning cinema audiences into easy-chair Kirks, Star Trek is literally big-screen TV.

I was hoping to see it hit 50 with all positives, but oh well.

I'm not a Trekkie, and I hate theaters, but I might actually go to see this.
Will also have to check the date and times. I originally heard May 8th, but now I'm hearing it will be earlier.

Yup. Its going to be playing locally on Thursday at 7, 7:30, 8, 8:30, 9, 10 and 10:30.
WTF?
Why dont they just declare that as the official first day?
Assholes!

I'm going on May 7. Basically all the theatres in Toronto are showing it on the 7th. Dunno why. And it's not just at 11:55 pm or something. Regular Thursday night showtimes.

RT is crap these days and still to far that only 3 critics have seen it and don't count.

Yes, it really cares to put the lotion on its skin!

Seriously though.. these days? RT has always been crap to me. IMDB and Metacritic are much more accurate for my tastes at least, not to mention the hideous web design it has compared to them. But for some reason the majority of ATOT still likes to reference them above all though, just gotta chalk that up to things I'll never understand around here.

But yeah, this movie will be pre-hyped up (what I like to call 'Dark-Knight'd up') until rational, non-fanbois start seeing it for what it really is and bring the score down to something more fitting and less biased.

WINNAR!

Wonder if he's an ATOT member.
