Moon (2009)

Really enjoyed the pacing and direction. A little bit let down at the somewhat rushed-feeling ending.

You're a fucking idiot, and probably touch yourself.

Star Trek Into Darkness = 3/10 - A decent action sci-fi flick but again a really shitty Star Trek movie. It's of course the vapid, unoriginal, candy-coated-with-shakey-cam-&-lens-flare derpfest that everyone expected and is basically a retardedly written remake of Wrath Of Khan, with scenes/dialogue ripped right out of the original, because J.erkoff J.ewname Abrams (someone commited to turning Star Trek into Star Wars...which makes me wonder how he'll fuckup that IP next) is a cynical hack who's betting the farm nobody remembers anything from before last week. They stole and jumbled anything they could find from TOS and the Enterprise series, even the moronic ploy of having Peter Weller play the same character but with a different name showed just how shallow and lazy this crap is. And that moronic "twist" of having Kirk die instead of Spock at the end oh but no he doesn't die cause how'd they make more sequels oops spoiler alert but it's ok this thing is so dumb it doesn't matter. And Spock doing a terrific Steven Segal impersonation with the screaming over-the-shoulder arm break after the obligatory chase scene was the icing on the cake to this piece of shit film made for stupid cunts. Then in a blink everything is reset for the next film/bastardization of the TOS episodes/films/whatever cause they're too fucking lazy to be original.

I went into this film in a good mood and left feeling ripped off.

This is the target audience:

This movie will no doubt make eleventy billion dollars in its first weekend and Abrams will keep making this shit.

Fuck u humanity.

Hah that's funny, i watched that yesterday too with my girl who enjoys scifi shizzles but had somehow never seen Moon. I'd forgotten a surpsising amount of it, so i got to enjoy it all over again - definitely one of the better scifi movies out there. And shit, i love that theme song, it just goes perfectly with the atmosphere they created :up:

You're right about the ending though, it does feel somewhat rushed. Not that it's bad or anything, just feels a tad out of place with the rest of the film.

We also tried The Grandmaster ?/10

There's something about Asian cinema that has always bugged the hell out of me and after fifteen minutes of The Grandmaster (had to pull the plug after that or risk becoming highly annoyed) i finally think i know what it is; the goddamn constant compulsive use of metaphores. Directness in language is something i appreciate and it's just not something they do in Asia i guess.

For example; the political intricacies of China in the thirties were explained in the form of a dialogue. Two mystic kung fu masters made comments about a bowl of snake stew for about five minutes, the way the logs should be put on the fire and how it was a winter dish. Now this clearly wasn't actually about the fucking snake soup, it was all a metaphore for China. They were actually speaking about how the Japanese occupatied the North and how this made life hard for the common people, how communists and the central government were fighting the Japanese, how those dudes didn’t get along, etc.

No actual information was given, no names were named, no locations were disclosed; it was all poetic language about snake soup and the fire underneath the cooking utensil that i'm entirely unwilling to try and comprehend. Fuck that shit, i can’t handle that sort of thing at all, it makes me impatient and slightly furious – speak directly to one another and there shall be progress. This going-to-extremes-in-order-to-not-hurting-your-feelings way of communication is regressive and totally useless.

I thought it offensive to the entire Star Trek universe and a slap in the face to the fans. Watching it I had actually thought some of the shit they done was to intentionally pull down walls, thankfully none of it was explained enough. Kirks only idea being to park the Enterprise above a volcano in the opening scenes had me spasticated n all only for him to be crying about not knowing what to do later on ?, sacking Scotty, letting anyone join the crew. Bones is just a character made for 1 liners, the enterprise looks like its been drawn by a chav that's seen the original then decided to add spoilers with tinted windows, fuck me. Oh yea and the spock scene :olo:

Do you think that this maybe a better reflection to TOS and what Gene Roddenberry had in mind when creating the idea of Star Trek though ?, the light entertainment show of young and nieve explorers ruled by emotion geared towards Sunday audiences ?.

I thought it was entertaining and good fun overall, I would prefer a proper Star Trek and I'll probaly watch it once more but I don't think it was completely wide of the mark and as far as the movies go it has to be one of the better ones. The only decent Star Trek movies of recent times has been 1st contact which was back in the 90s ?, plus nothing has reset a plot as shamefully as Nemesis :). I just hope this canon doesn't stay and flushing 40+ years of Trek down the toilet. It's a cheap trick.

edit: They also made epic use of barcode scanners that I once used in Comet 10 years ago. Apart from sticking out like sore thumbs on the bridge, making Sulu and Checkov look like Walmart assistants, they made extra use of them in this film by adding them to every other scene when people required to scan something in engineering :dork:

I ain't seen shit like this since seeing my remote getting used as a sonic screwdriver on Dr Who.

It's not a horrible film, it's got good acting (this film cements the fact the Enterprise crew were well cast...except Uhura...I have no idea who that woman is) and it's entirely worth seeing as a summer action flick.

I simply take issue that the idiots who wrote this weren't even trying (yet another Damon Lindelof derpfest) and I'm pretty sure none of them actually respect the franchise - we all know J.J. Abrams didn't...he's admitted as much - and for them it's just another cash cow to rape, nothing more.

In short: the franchise's future is in the hands of people who don't like it and I'm guessing I'll probably be disappointed with every Star Trek film these shitheads get their hands on.

Same, if someone was re-assuring me before the film that everything will be ok and once JJ gets bored we can resume service as normal I probably would have loved it, agree with the characters too they're all very good but Khan was too much of a comic book villain imo. It's just that I can't see why they would want to go back to normal service with the amount of money this shits making, It feels more like a nail in a coffin and a kick in the nuts to their fanbase of 40 years in the hunt for new blood.

The potential for soooo much more was in this film too and suppose that it's lining up with the hunt for the Bottany Bay in the next of the series, all of this could have easily been done in a prequel though :(

Star Trek died when Enterprise got cut short, innit ? :tear:

I blame EA
