Star Trek 100% in rottentomatoes.com - Page 8 - Blu-ray Forum

Still absolutely despise this movie, it trivializes a lot of what I have always valued in TREK while coming off so consistently 'wrong' in tone that the occasional moments that work seem more distracting than anything else. Have never been able to watch this movie w/o fastforwarding either (and have tried four times), as opposed to INTO DARKNESS, which while awful, I could laugh at. Along with SKYFALL and CASINO ROYALE, and AVATAR, probably the most overrated popular movies of the century (that I've tried watching, that is. I'm sure there's lot of other popular crap titles.)

If there was a way to take the gauziness of the space scenes and the over/mis/use of lens flares out, I'd be willing to give it another chance, but as it stands now, this is the only Trek movie I don't have on Blu-Ray (the only ones I really really love -- in spite of their many problems -- are TMP, TWOK and TFF), even though the pawn shop near my work always has it for two bucks.

I agree with all of this...except the Skyfall and Casino Royale dig. You should be ashamed of yourself.

You're fun!

Yeah the 2009 trilogy is garbage and I'm glad these movies are over after the one in 2016 underperformed. A dark decade to be a trek fan with std spreading its sores and disease across the internet too. Michael Burnham is the worst lead character in American TV history.

Yay! Opinions! In a 10 year old dead thread!

It's posts like these that make me wish this forum had a DISLIKE button.

10 years? Dang.

Personally, I love this movie so very much. I can see where long standing fans are coming from with their grievances, but you can't deny that this movie gave Star Trek new life in the mainstream eye. Plus to some, like me, it was the gateway drug to other Trek things (finally watched the shows and the old movies).

EDIT: Also, if your city's symphony is playing the score to this live, go check it without hesitation.

oilers73 · 05-09-2019, 08:30 PM

With the exception of Star Trek: The Motion Picture, I like all of the Trek films. Original cast, Next Generation, J.J. Abrams trilogy...they're fun. To each their own, I suppose.

You can’t please everyone I suppose, as a long standing fan I really like it.

Did we really need to resurrect this thread? Good lord.

The only reason to do such a thing is to get people boiled up. Seriously?

It was the 10th anniversary yesterday.

Resurrected with good intent. Happy decade of existence. I grew to love this film and the series. But I gave it a good 3/5 upon initial watch. Each subsequent watch allowed me to release my fanboy isms and I could accept the new world very well..

4.5/5

aiman04 · 05-09-2019, 11:50 PM

I like this quite a bit, but I have to agree it's slightly overrated, same with Casino Royale. I don't like Skyfall much and it is overrated in my opinion.

But that's so impersonal. Knowing you took the time to type a whole sentence instead makes all the difference.

Good film, mixed sequels.
