Holden McGroin 6365 Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Star Tek - Into the Darkness. 8/10. An eye-feast. Good Sci-fi romp. Benedict Cumonyourface is an amazing actor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angrysteve 0 Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Star Trek - not as fond as Holden above. Didn't like the first one, this is better but it's not really my bag, give me Shatner over this any day. It's still a decent film though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Carr's Gloves 3738 Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 I didn't even understand the significance on the cliffs coming to life and smacking the shit out of each other... there was just no point to it other than for nice special effect purposes. Really stupid and pointless Were they not the Stone Giants from the book? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooj 17 Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Were they not the Stone Giants from the book? Yup. It does my nut in when people's first instinct is to base their rating of it solely on how good Lord of the Rings is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Park Life 71 Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Jack Reacher - Simply terrible from start to finish. Not surprised, the books have a wierd kind of processional detail that is difficult to transfer to film and the books are fairly harmless with regards to suspense and plot.

Christmas Tree 4516 Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Just watching the first new Star Trek film and all the new recruits are being shuttled to their craft. Why? Teleporters? Not sure if I missing something? Anyway that is all, back to the film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 43140 Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Fucking lazy cunt. "I need the bog *teleport*" "Remote's on the other side of the room *teleport*" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 4281 Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 is it not meant to be them all starting out and young? i'd assume lack of them obtaining them yet would be the answer No - they have teleporters but one of the key plot points is that Scotty invents the ability to teleport onto a ship which is in warp mode. If you're a fan of Sci-fi which I am, you get used to what's known as a CPD - Convenient Plot Device - something which doesn't withstand analysis but helps the story - in this case you could extend Gemmill's point and ask why Kirk rides a motorcycle when he could teleport - the answer is they need to show he was a "rebel" to fit the character. I would guess they used a shuttle so they could have a journey no matter how short to allow the introduction of Bones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 10542 Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Thoroughly enjoyed it even with the glaring teleporter plot hole. Plot hole? It's a plot device, you nudnik. Or, tell you what, lets get geeky, there's 4 spots on the Enterprise transporter bay. Now lets assume all the craft have the same number of transporter spots as the flagship. Now, on that one shuttle there were at least 20 crew. There were at least 4 shuttle heading to the Enterprise. Also, those shuttles are needed on the ship. So the choice is either a big queue of knobheads at both teleporter bays, or pack the shuttles you need on the ship, with the people you need on the ship, for the 5 minute journey to the ship. Suck it fatty, the Geeks will inherit the earth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like having a remote control and still getting up to tune the TV. Wouldn't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChezGiven 0 Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 The Master. Moments of sheer cinematic genius, incredible acting, slightly baffled over what it was actually saying. Something about fraudulent faux spiritual leaders who came to dominate US culture in the 20th century (which is what you'd expect in the context of There Will Be Blood) except it doesn't really say that. There's so much 'other' stuff going on it left me wondering what else I was missing. Great film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
