If Disney has the common sense to keep Lucas as far away from this new trilogy as possible then I might be able to muster up some bit of enthusiasm for it.
I have the choice of pretty much every format available to choose from in my area.
One theatre, five minutes away is showing it in RealD and in Digital IMAX 3D. There is a true IMAX theater about ten minutes away showing it in real IMAX 3D, but honestly I didn't really like the presentation I...
There's also a pic of Tweedledee and Tweedledum out there, but I can't find it to post it at the moment. I'm not really feeling Depp's look, but I think the Queen of Hearts is amazing - the lipstick is a nice touch for one. Oddly, the White Queen looks rather pedestrian in comparison - odd...
Really liked the season premiere, seemed to really go for hitting some hardcore points right out of the gate. It also seemed to lower the amount of camp that I remember from the first season. I know it's probably from the book series, but the whole "Fellowship of the Sun" thing reminds me of...
I can't wait for these to get here next week. I haven't had anything to watch in a while - been playing more videogames than watching video content - and between doing a LOST rewatch prior to the final season we have the new season of True Blood starting, so full steam ahead for a few months of...
Nothing could herald in a Zombie Season full of fantastic television better than for Jack and Kate to be turned into zombies in the season premiere and then chopped into bits with a Dharma lawn mower by Sawyer by the end of the episode.
To be clear, I haven't seen the original film in years and I never really followed the TV show very closely, though I'm loosely aware of its trappings. With that said, to say the "Buffy Mythos is so rich" is really saying that Whedon's Buffy Mythos is rich, as I don't remember the original...
This and Lost are the only TV I watch anymore. In any case, my system seems to have some issues with the sound mix in this. I'm playing it via a PS3 into a Denon AVR-789, so the AVR is obviously getting Multi-ch PCM from the PS3. If I turn the Audyssey Dynamic EQ on alot of sound that should...
I've never really understood the big deal about where support struts are and this or that for something that is going to be traveling in a vacuum and mainly has to support the ship's structure when it's under propulsion stress (and even then only when they're under impulse I imagine, as warp is...
I'm pretty excited for this for a couple of reasons. I've never seen the stage show and haven't listened to any of the cast recordings. So I'm interested in just seeing it to see it, and the fact that the casting intrigues me - putting Judi Dench in the trailer immediately means I have to see...
I think you're completely missing the gravitas of the situation here. The whole point is that Nero has completely and irrevocably altered the TOS timeline by destroying Vulcan. At the very least, as the conversation on the bridge indicates, he's started an alternate parallel "quantum" timeline...
Most people seem to think that there are actually two monsters and the first one Locke confronts back in Season 1 is Jacob's monster because Locke describes it as a bright white light rather than a gathering of dark smoke. I actually found the Jacob-based flashbacks a bit contrived, and agree...
I dunno, since about Season 2 I've been of the opinion that any episode that leaves both Jack and Kate alive and breathing is an unsatisfying episode - finale or not. ;-) Seriously though, we've gone through so many characters, many of which were better scripted and better acted than Jack and...
I don't think anyone is saying the good versus evil battle has been tacked on. It's been pretty heavily involved in the development of the show and has escalated as the show has gone on - beachies vs. others, whidmore vs. ben, and now you get to the final "onion skin" which is these two. I...
Yes, she's been cast in the new 'V' remake, as a lead too I think, so that's probably the best indication that you should say your final farewells to Juliet. It's a shame, but I suppose one should expect Lost to do what it always does, kill off more interesting characters while they keep...
They were even able to calculate where they would end up when jumping through time with that method. STIV made time travel seem like an established procedure one would find in a manual somewhere, but it's always easier just to open a wormhole or something. Of course, STIV sort of disregards...
I don't see why Disney should be considered incapable of poking fun at themselves while simultaneously taking pride in their 2D work. I think it looks great and I'm already looking forward to seeing this on Blu-Ray. I'm gonna transfer this over to my PS3 when I get home to play it on my...
Are we sure? I don't remember her name or if we heard which ship she was assigned to, but if it was any ship other than the Enterprise she's not around anymore anyway.
Well, it is a pretty disingenuous strategy. A theater near my dad advertises Star Trek playing in both their "IMAX" (Digital) theater and in a DLP projection theater. I'm trying to figure out what the difference would be.
I for one will be helping Star Trek hopefully keep some legs. I already have plans to see it again this weekend with my Dad and may see it on Thursday to check out the local theater five minutes from me here where I've just moved (as opposed to the IMAX theater where I saw it first on Thursday)...
I agree. Also, such a plot delves right into the canon minutia that this film gets them away from and what they wanted to get away from. This is being built as a film franchise, it needs larger brush strokes in terms of plot lines - unless they decided to start a 3-film arc or something (ie...
With this film the time travel sort of just fell into the background for me. In something like "First Contact" you have the protagonists always mentioning the "timeline this", "history that", "paradox blah blah", but here time travel is mainly just used as a way to get two characters in the plot...
Hmmmm, thanks for that info. I've never seen one of those RealD 3D films, though a theater down the street from me has a theater equipped with it. A theater about an hour away from me where I used to live has a new IMAX Digital installation. A neat experiment would be to go and see "Up!" in...
Most of the issues asked in the OP concerning OAR have been addressed ever since commercial films started getting the DMR transfers to IMAX. However, Bryan does have a point about the "Digital" IMAX presentations. They will not be anything like a "Real" IMAX presenation and the fact that the...
Isn't the attached supposed to be Vulcan or one of its moons from TMP? Seems there's no want for planets in the system, so pick one. The gravitational thing is a good point. The singularity could technically remain there exerting similar if not identical gravitational force as the planet did -...
I agree, I had no problems with engineering. If anything it at least gives engineering and the complexity of something like a warp system the kind of scale that you never get from a nice and compact engineering set with blinking lights like we tend to get. Using something that was more than...
The prequel comic, if I'm remembering it correctly, basically made it out that the star going supernova didn't exactly do a traditional supernova, it continued to expand as it enveloped the planets of its own solar system, so it eventually was going to engulf the entire galaxy. As I said in...
The black hole created by destroying Spock's ship was created by all of the Red Matter in the hold of his ship. When Nero would create the black hole to destroy a planet they made a point of showing them carefully removing a very small sample of Red Matter to shoot into the planet. Before the...
