I don't think I disliked her anywhere else! She's fine in "Child's Play", for instance.
But she just goes too far with the character's self-righteous traits and gets on my nerves!
I don't think she intended for the character to be so damned smug and irritating.
From my review:
"Every time I watch 'Voyage', I almost start to wonder why I semi-dislike it – until Hicks appears. That’s when the film starts to go into the toilet, and the fact that she’s nearly omnipresent once she hits the screen means the movie can’t escape the negatives she brings...
None of this changes my mind: trying to make movies shot decades ago "modern" is a mistake.
Of course the grain management will be different for the 2. Same philosophies, though, and those philosophies are what bugs me...
The "this is a 2021 project, not a 1969 project" was the rationale behind the extreme grain removal from "Get Back".
I didn't agree with it there and I don't agree with it for "ST:TMP".
It's not a movie from 2021 or 2022. It's silly to try to make decades old film look like it was shot today.
Listening to the new "technical commentary" and they refer to having removed grain but they then "reintroduced it" to the "Director's Edition" of "The Motion Picture" yet.
Haven't watched it yet myself.
Thoughts about this "removal/reintroduction" topic?
