Me too. There are certain genre films in which I might think about the plotline afterwards and critique them more harshly, but Star Trek films don't fall under those categories for me.RobertR said:That would be me.
No. It's not -that- bad. Like I said, for a popcorn film, turn your mind off and the action is good, the 3D is good.. I do hate the lens flare which I found wildly annoying.. a friend reminded me of the scene today, it's when Carol talks to her Admiral Marcus and basically half of her face is not visible thanks to the lens flare. I get it, it's his style, but as far as I'm concerned damn annoying and it has nothing to do with the film.Steve_Pannell said:Is it bad enough to be called "Star Trek: The Phantom Menace"?
I agree with you about the lens flare. Very annoying.mattCR said:No. It's not -that- bad. Like I said, for a popcorn film, turn your mind off and the action is good, the 3D is good..

Look, I think a lot of people are going to enjoy it. Just don't think that deeply about the story.
TravisR said:Me too and the crowd I saw it with LOVED it. I think if you're a person who doesn't like or doesn't care about Star Trek, there's a very chance that you'll have a good time with this movie but it sure seems like many existing Trek fans hate this movie more than Hitler.
My Trek experience consists of having seen part of an episode of the original series, an episode of The Next Generation, First Contact (which I liked) and the first Abrams movie. Needless to say, I'm coming at this movie from an entirely different perspective than even a casual fan who has seen alot of the TV series and all the movies.Michael Elliott said:I've never seen any television show, have only seen three of the previous features and was lukewarm on the 2009 film but I enjoyed this.
Keep in mind that it opened Wednesday night so that and Thursday were probably the days that the die hards showed up.I got the theater 30-minutes early today excepting there to be a crowd but there were only around 25 people there. I was shocked to see it so low for such a movie.
Not me. Mr. Abrams and company are welcome to trash any and all other superpopular Hollywood "franchises" they can get their hands on. Why stop at only one? Qapla'!I do wonder, perhaps dumbly, if some of this heat from fanboys is because the director is doing their upcoming rival series.
I'm sure there are future moviegoers who wouldn't care about Yoda being portrayed that way, either.Michael Elliott said:As a horror fan, sometimes I think it's worse to be a fanboy because you just go to certain movies/actors/directors with certain expectations that others might not have. For me, I wouldn't have cared if Spock became a sadistic murderer and killed everyone on the ship.
