Which means telemachos won't like it, I will, than mine will be voided. I liked the first one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The movie is loved most of the time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was good until the references to WoK, which take you out of the film, and i never even seen the original, the Nimroy cameo was cringe worthy 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmpireCity Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 I didn't want to gush too much after seeing it a couple weeks ago, but I really loved it and had a great time. Fun, funny, heartfelt and pretty much a blast. Glad to see that confirmed by everyone that saw it tonight. Hoping that this breaks out. It deserves to. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyMovieCanBeatUpYourMovie Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 32 minutes ago, Durden said: This reminds me of probably my biggest complaint of STID: The story feels like it belongs in one of those in-between-movie novels that Trek would put out. By that, I mean it feels like the sort of story that can't do really much of anything to change the status quo (and, hey, it throws in some Trek lore to boot with Khan, which a lot of the novels often did), but since it's just a tie-in novel, it has to leave us in the exact place we started, since no Trek film is ever going to reference events of a novel. Which is exactly what STID does, giving us almost literally the same final scene as ST09, with Kirk and crew setting off on their five-year mission. The entire film feels really superfluous, retreading Khan, etc., rather than taking advantage of the new canvas the first one laid out for the universe and doing something to expand it.

Quote Jordan Hoffman @jhoffman 3h3 hours ago Queens, NY STAR TREK BEYOND does something magical: has big, bold action but puts these characters in, basically, a TOS episode. For me it was a dream.

BadAtGender Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 I think the thing about STID is that it works at the level that Abrams is very good at, by creating that enjoyable atmosphere that really is fun. And that means that, yes, most people will like it. I don't think it should be construed that consensus "I like this" means that it's a loved film. The problem with it is that as the film goes on, it gets weighed down with the efforts to be referential and reverential to very specific moments in an earlier film. This is, honestly, the same problem that TFA has. The more the film goes on, the more it's insistent on being very much like the OT, which undermines its ability to stand on its own. ST09, despite being really, really bad in terms of science, was pretty clear that it just wanted to be a fun ride, mostly in the vein of Star Wars (rather than Star Trek), so it felt fresh and new. I suppose, in an oblique way, the Super 8 runs into the same problem as STID and TFA. It's pretty consumed with being Spielbergian, though not so much with specific references. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somebody85 Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Awesome! Really looking forward to this one. The previews have made it look great. Glad to hear first word out of the gate is positive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somebody85 Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 (edited) Well at least from a critical standpoint the Summer seems to be getting better. Wondering when the Embargo lifts for this one? Guessing it must be soon. Also on the subject of STID, I watched it once and never again. I have to revisit both before seeing this.

JohnnyGossamer Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Been hyped since Justin Lin took over the reins. Really glad to hear it the early buzz is good. Hopefully it breaks out a bit at the box office. Or, at least, pulls in something like 65/180 DOM. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovieMan89 Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Hopes of a breakout on OW seem next to none at this point, but hopefully it's leggy. Though Bourne competing with a similar audience could be problematic there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbie Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 5 hours ago, Daniel Dylan Davis said: Actually apparently adjusted for inflation only Star Trek 09 passed both The Motion Picture and Wrath of Khan. Into Darkness is #4 behind 09, The Motion Picture, and The Voyage Home. Sorry I apparently wasn't clear. I was only comparing the 1st release of the reboot films to the first release of the original films, and comparing the 2nd releasee of the reboot films to the 2nd release of the original films. 1. Star Trek had larger ticket sales in adjusted dollars and more total admission the Star Trek the Motion Picture. 2. Into Darkness had larger tickets sales in adjusted dollars, but didn't actually have more admission then wrath of Khan and I was hoping that Beyond would continue at least what Into darkness did in relationship to Search for Spock.
