I think Chris Pine was absolutely invested. 2 hours ago, filmlover said: Pine and Quinto were fine but neither was really given much to work with this time around (other than the Nimoy stuff for Quinto). Urban was hilarious, I say scrap the next movie give us a Bones spin-off in which he says nothing but acidic one-liners for two hours. I agree Bones was the absolute best. I had a hair of a problem with the way the writers wrote Spock's part. Spoiler There were enough 'exceptions' to the rule of no emotion that there almost seemed to really be no 'emotionless' rule at all. It was ok, but I thought they overdid that part. I liked Pine. I had a really good time watching it, though. The first 15 minutes I wasn't as drawn into it, but then it got terrific imho. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macleod Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 I caught this today in 3-D (typically darker than it should be), but I really enjoyed this, and may go catch it one more time in theaters. I hope word of mouth is good, and encourages a sequel (an emotion I absolutely didn't feel with STID) And...yes, I hope they include Jayla. ;-) Quibbles could be made about Elba's character and a few so-called "plotholes" but overall, I think this is a great homage with fun characters and a very enjoyable experience that I can see myself watching more times throughout the years. Kudos to Lin and the crew and cast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrathOfHan Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 I didn't see it in 3D but that first act was pretty dark, can't imagine how dark it is in 3D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goffe Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 give us a Bones spin-off in which he says nothing but acidic one-liners for two hours. that sounds like fucking nightmare to me. Bones works in small doses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojoguy Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Star Trek Beyond was originally scheduled for July 8, 2016. I think that would have been a MUCH better date than what we got with July 22. More days in the summer and it would have had 21 days to itself before being hit by Jason Bourne, and 28 days before before being hit by Suicide Squad. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It shouldn't be a problem. I saw it in IMAX 3D and didn't have a hard time seeing anything. Just only the disorientation with action scenes. Especially on the Yorktown.

darkelf Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 I've been listening to the score in between the Picard movies to try and keep my sanity and I just gotta say this is a thing of beauty: Anyway, I'm one Tom Hardy movie away from finally being able to rank these stupid things 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovieMan89 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Yet another 200m budgeted film bombing this summer because no one knows how to budget blockbusters correctly these days apparently. When are the studios gonna learn? Again, none of y'all Inferior Five are Disney with hundreds of millions to blow, no matter how much you wish you were.

It didn't make a big deal about it, but giving that vision specific voice made this feel more Trek-ish than almost anything else in the NuTrek saga (aside from the main characters, I suppose). I am gonna sound condescending here but if people actually knew how these movies are made, they would understand these movies cannot cost less. Also, the obession of producers is to cut down costs. On any movie. Edited August 1, 2016 by The Futurist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkelf Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 After watching all 4 TNG movies in one day, I'm somehow still alive. Which means rankings of course Undiscovered Country Beyond ST09 Voyage Home Khan First Contact Into Darkness Motion Picture Search for Spock Insurrection Final Frontier Nemesis Generations Ah, it's a great feeling being able to do this after all those years of having only 2 movies on this list. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look for yourself... I understand they threw something together quickly for SDCC but even still. I'm not one to bitch about CGI but this looks so bad it's embarassing. Would have been better to show nothing. And that ship design is ugly as hell. Looks like a cross between a Klingon and Federation ship. Hmm... maybe it is... Special effects by Billy!

therana Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Enjoyed this a lot, more than STiD. Such a pity the movie had incompetent marketing. I wish it had WB's marketing team working on it: they sure know how to sell even bad movies. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
