Star Trek (Review Three)

What I knew going in:
One of the best SciFi films of all time goes on constant repeat in my head.


Hype:
Still jizzing in my pants. I mean we're talking seriously painful jizzplosions here.


Opening Thoughts:
Get this: Kirk is the worst character in the top five. Karl Urban, Simon Pegg, Uhura the hotness (leave me alone, I'm tired lolz), and Zachary Quinto all bring better performances than Chris Pine. Even Sulu and Chekov are almost better. Now its not that Pine is bad mind you, just that everyone else is just so completely spot on.


Bottom Line:
The effects - I still can't believe how amazing they are and how angry it makes me that the damn camera is shaking around like a cerebral palsy victim that's been tasered during an epilepsy fit. A shaking camera does NOT add tension, excitement, or realism. Is it appropriate when a starship is being shot to pieces? You Bet. Is it appropriate when a near undamaged starship drops out of warp firing on incoming torpedoes? NO NO NO. The sooner that Hollywood figures this out the better we'll all be. In the meatime, you need to go and see this film seven or eight more times and make sure we get another bunch of em.

Coming up in the next hour:
Terminator: Salvation and Crank 2: High Voltage. Yep, I've sunk to a new low.
