Author Topic: Star Trek (2009) Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 05-31-2009 10:43 AM                        You are no fun. And neither is this as a plot device. So full of fail, just like Spock Prime (LOL)! I also can't buy that Spock Prime (LOL) is that incompetent that he creates a whole new universe and manages to let planets be destroyed in both.  |  IP: Logged Greg Anderson Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 766 From: Ogden Valley, Utah Registered: Nov 1999 posted 05-31-2009 10:42 PM                        I can't wait for Bobby's review of Up.  |  IP: Logged Aaron Garman Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1470 From: Toledo, OH USA Registered: Mar 2003 posted 06-01-2009 01:23 AM                     Cinemark Movies 14, Mishawaka, IN Auditorium 12, Dolby Digital Presentation: The above denotes when I saw it in 35mm. The presentation was stellar, and typical #12 performance. I liked this movie, alot. In fact, I think it's kind of brilliant. I was very very worried we'd get a bunch of horribly casted wannabes, but instead we got a cast that had to fill some big shoes on the Enterprise. They succeeded admirably. Sure, some die hard fans don't like the possible erasure of 40 years of history, but you can always go back and watch the DVDs. Special note on presentation. 35mm was great. Saw the IMAX Experience in Portage, IN's Goodrich IMAX. Image was great, for a DMRd movie. Sound was a little wanting. I saw the Dark Knight there last year and the sound was vastly superior. I also saw this in DLP at Cinemark in Mishawaka, house number 1. This was their first digital presentation, and the image was excellent. For such a large screen (I'd guess 50'+?) it was bright, crisp, and the best I've seen 1 look. Heck, it replaced a CFS lamphouse. How could it NOT be better? The audio was a different story. The subs were working overtime, which was nice to hear in this house once again. However, the center channel was distorting often, the right channel was non-existent, and there was a nice, loud, ground loopish hum. I made sure to let the management know. Things are being fixed I've been told. That's great, but how did the techs that did this install miss these issues before they left? Welcome to !

Time travel is a lame plot device and completely inapropriate in a reboot. There are many plot holes and the story depended on to much coincidenses and unlikely events. It was enjoyable, but I hoped for something better. Abrams went for straight forward action which isn't a suprise. And Chekov speaking was funny for like 1 minute. Everyone including the aliens speak fluent English and our friendly Russian has a terrible accent.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 06-01-2009 04:49 PM                        Hell, the aliens even speak English amongst themselves. It is as I've always said: English is the BEST language. All other languages suck.  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan."

Please PM your course details. The class wouldn't be taught by me. I'd leave that up to those female friends I know. One is a speech pathologist who works with children, but in the past wanted to become a sex therapist. quote: Greg Anderson I can't wait for Bobby's review of Up. I'm planning to watch Up later this evening. Unfortunately I probably won't have that review littered with curse words and references to sex and rock guitar solos. Although, if the movie is good enough the temptation might be there to bring up those topics.  |  IP: Logged Stu Jamieson Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 524 From: Buccan, Qld, Australia Registered: Jan 2008 posted 06-01-2009 06:54 PM                     quote: Bobby Henderson The class wouldn't be taught by me.

My beef is with the editors that don't arrange their reel-end edits to give c/o cues a chance to be seen, burying them in light/dark flashing motion, and also carry dialog into the c/o's. The first c/o of Star Trek was impossible! Working in a c/o house, you see the expectation of platter presentation by some cutters. If they wanna keep doing this, give me braille cues and I'll feel the film!  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.

Looks like a three disc set: Disc Info I was really hoping for an extended cut, but it doesn't look like we're going to get one I'm sure in the next five years they'll release a few new editions to see how many times I'll buy it.  |  IP: Logged
