Star Trek XII - May 17 2013 and in 3D

I've never seen a film in modern 3D before. I just hope the inevitable slow-mo "objects thrown into the screen" bits aren't too distracting when I rewatch the film 900 times on DVD at home.

Ah good, another thread for Dayton and Captain X to have a circle jerk in.

Re: Star Trek XII - May 17 2011 and in 3D

Why won't this stupid freakin' 3D fad just die already?!?

Re: Star Trek XII - May 17 2011 and in 3D

It won't die until the studios see that the $$$ going out isn't being made back as fast as in 2D

Or when someone sues them for some cockeyed reason.

Anything that tips the ledger from black to bleeding red.

Re: Star Trek XII - May 17 2011 and in 3D

I don't see the problem.

I think either Paladin or Captain X called this (3D) long ago.

3D. For fuck sake.

My expectations have been lowered again.

Whilst I'm not especially fond of 3D, I'm not sure why it'd impact any expectations.

Anyhoo, if it's as entertaining as the last one, and preferably with more meat to it, I'll be quite content.

Style over substance is why. A coherent story may become an afterthought, like in the last movie.

In addition to 3D glasses will the theatres be handing out copies of the novelization to explain the plot holes?

Lens flares in 3-D. I can't wait.

Abrams is talking to some Benicio del Toro dude about playing the villain.

It'd be better if he directed.

They should make it silent and in black and white as well.

I'll definitely see it in 3d, because if the effects shots are done as well as the last one it will be worth it just for that alone. I hate the new E design, but at least they used it well.

As for the plot, probably be superficial and full of plot holes, but 3d won't change that, and we all know we were gonna go see it anyway.

Why? If you acknowledge that it's nothing more than an effects real with a bad plot, why would you reward that by paying to go see it? If you reward shit, they're just going to keep making it.

Because it entertained me and I expect the next one to entertain me.

Like it or not, not watching the new style of movies isn't going to make them give us a TMP style epic, it's just going to persuade them the franchise is entirely dead.

I hope they get the font right this time.

When you have to turn your brain off to enjoy something, that movie or TV show has failed. And furthermore, you are helping to perpetuate the mentality of "Viewers Are Morons" that the people making this shit have, and they're going to keep assuming their audience is braindead and laugh at us while they keep dishing out shit.

Which wouldn't really be a bad thing, if you think about it. Would you really want to see a frachise you liked drug through the mud even more before it finally goes out with a whimper? It was bad enough as it was that the franchise had ended with ENT's TATV.

The Star Trek franchise is dead.

Because Star Trek was always first and foremost a television franchise.

The last movie (no matter the success) is still basically a parody of Star Trek.

Much like the Police Academy movies were parodies to televisions police procedurals.

The Police Academy movies made a lot of money too.

Not thrilled about the 3D, but looking forward to the next film otherwise.

Possibly more like the new Sherlock Holmes movies are not Basil Rathborne movies?

Or like the Mission Impossible movies are not like the TV show?

Then, you won't go see the new movie, and have opinions about it, right?

I can always buy a ticket to another movie and sneak over.

That way I get the best of both worlds.

No financial support for the movie yet full knowledge of it to make my criticisms more pointed.

The mousetrap was its own point, but if you wanna step in it, okay...

Some people just can't take differing opinions about movies, can they?

Hey, he wants to go see a movie he knows he's gonna hate, let him have at it.
Ties into my whole theory of him being a masochist, though.

It's not that so much as the fairly transparent way certain people set things up so that any critic is going to get shouted down whether it's for commenting on information about the movie without having seen it, or, as you put it, for being a "masochist" and going to see the movie so they can comment on it. Saw it plenty when it came to the last movie, so it's really no surprise to see it again, even if it's being directed at someone other than me for the time being.
