Star Trek movie

[firecat]

I found a theater that offered it with rear window captioning so the OH could see it with me. Now I don't have to go to Wiscon prepared to clap my hands over my ears every five minutes to avoid spoilers.

Watching the movie made me happy. I was entertained.


Sylar gives good Spock. Sylar gives REALLY good Spock.

The rest of the actors did a good job of implying the original characters.

Ttttoooo mmuuccchhhhh sshhhaakkkkkyy ccaaaaammm

I suppose every action movie these days has to have revenge-motivated piratical villains with tribal tattoos and trench coats. But revenge-motivated piratical villains with tribal tattoos and trench coats who are ROMULAN?

I suppose every science fiction thriller these days has to have killer black holes. [*Cue giant sucking sound*]

Uhura-Spock works. A shame that she didn't get to do anything other than be a love interest, because I got the impression the actress would have done a good job with a broader role.

Typically, all the other women in the movie were there to be murdered to make male characters pissed off, or to give birth to male characters.

It's not that I don't *like* Uhura/Spock, it's just...I'm so steeped in the early episodes that the existence of Uhura/Spock strains my warp drive.

But Sylar gives such good Spock I was still clutching the armrests.

We did get to watch Uhura's expertise mentioned and apparently used. I didn't feel she was only there as a love interest.

Indeed. Given the leads are all male, I think the only way to have a leading female in a Star Trek movie would be a) re-cast the leads a la Starbuck and Boomer or b) have a female villian a la First Contact.

I love your review! I showed it to sinanju and he chuckled and said "Yup, that pretty much sums it up."

Yeah! I was all, "Hold still! I can't see anything"

But revenge-motivated piratical villains with tribal tattoos and trench coats who are ROMULAN?
IMO, some of them were SEXY.

Wait a second, what is Rear Window Captioning, and why haven't I heard about this!? :)

My sweetie is hard of hearing and often complains that it's hard to hear dialog in the movie theater and she wishes they had subtitles.

I'd be very interested to know what theater you went to and whether the captioning was acceptable.

Sylar gives good Spock, but Eomer gives better Bones.

Send more Bones!
