Going Tuesday.
I'll probably end up seeing the new star trek but i'm betting it's a 2 hour shaky cam CGI fest with very little substance or character development. Kinda like the last one.

So it'll be great, just need to make sure i'm not sober. I'm thinking a few beers should do the trick, or perhaps a tiny dose of MDMA.
Saw it, 8.1/10.
It's a CGI fest, but it's that or stop motion. Didn't think it was as good as the first but it should stand up well to a few re-views on BR.

Thought the plot twist was rubbish, i hope they aren't just going to keep rehashing others. If the next is time travel, it can get fucked because they always end up in the 80s. Also, not impressed with Simon Pegg's Scott in this film.

Edit, changed score so it's not the same as idi0tx

You're killing it, with your mongo friends all like *wank wank wank*. Go watch Iron Man instead, or Herbie.

LEAVE STAR TREK ALONE :cry:

Rewatched Barton Fink.

20 years ago I didn't really understand it. Writer checks himself into a strange Hollywood hotel. Some weirdness happens and people die. The End.
But now I understood all the interesting psychological subtext going on, and really appreciate it!

Into Darkness 8/10

nice visuals, but felt empty...any meaningful character interaction felt cheap, even homo on some occasions...maybe they weren't that cheap, but the overdose of action surrounding them had a numbing effect... but still gets an 8 for looking that pretty.

Seriously, haven't seen a movie in a cinema in 10 years.
Granted, the picture and sound quality still is better in a cinema than on the home system I have, but it's just not worth it.
My main gripe is fellow movie goers behaving like assholes, treating it like a hangout with some movie playing in the background as a distraction, talking and laughing and texting.

Fine shaft, go all autistic and anal, and focus on the texting.
Cleverly rendering all my arguments moot!

Star Trek Into Darkness -7/10.

I agree with everything GFY and chunk said. Dumbed down predictable WOK remix. Spock yelling Khan made me cringe.

That being said, the sfx gave me a nerd boner. The Kronos Klingon stuff was sweet. I felt like these new Treks could have been so much better if they weren't preoccupied with recasting TOS crew. The cast is a gimmick. Bones, Scotty and Chekhov suck. Cumberbatch outshined everyone. First movie was better just because it had an original story.

Oh and fuck off with the Star Wars uniforms in my Trek...jesus.

Yes those uniform caps could well have been a mistake :smirk:

Going through the later seasons of TNG now, the films dogshit in comparison.

Still think season 3 of Enterprise was one of the best series in Star Trek. Sucks dick that it was axed a season later.

Never watched Enterprise. Anything in comparison to the one where Picard gets his gay flute and lives an entire life in a coma? Or he goes back to his relatives on the vineyard?
