I'd forgotten that, good recall. You just need a few more "u" 's in suuuuuuuuck.

mst3kharris wait, the guy who uses mystery boxes aka people's imagination to insert spectacle into his creations finds the pondering of said creative tool vexing? Guess he really is a hack.

That would be fine. It is a universe, explore what the director is good at. The star trek franchise is not the enterprise. That is the problem. Imagine if he gave us an 80's action flick entirely with TNG Klingons, or a Tarantino Klingon movie. Imagine a serenity/cowboy bebop like show with ferengi. Just a rag tag group of aliens trying to make a living on the edges of the semi communist utopia of the federation and the hyper capitalism of the ferengi, with some action scenes with Klingon mercenaries. Just make some characters and the show writes itself, but most importantly leaves the rest of the franchise un violated.

Yea, that should have forced him off the project. For some stupid reason I own all 3 movies but I can't even make myself watch them they're so horrid.

It's like that scene from VHF where the girl picks the mystery box and there's nothing inside. That's what watching an Abrams movie is like now. YOU SO STUPID!!!! LOL

It just seems so unnecessary in a spacefaring universe where they could literally invent any kind of character they want with any kind of sexuality they can dream up--even bizarre alien stuff. It just takes the viewer right out of the story, because you know they're only doing it to score some brownie points with a particular crowd in the real world. The illusion is broken as the puppet master dangles the strings right in front of you. Ironically, making that change transforms Sulu from a character into an effigy--a totem for their ideology. It diminishes, rather than enhances both the character and the story.

That scene is why I will not buy the movie

George Takei said, " Oh myyyyyyy, too gay."

Because no matter what, he loves that character like we do. You know - staying faithful to how he was originally written and not used as a cheap doormat to the house of representation 🤦‍♂️

@@nathanpierce7681 Before calling an argument “dumb”, you should probably take the time to make sure you understand it first. Having a gay character isn’t immersion-breaking. Changing a character’s sexuality at the eleventh hour with no explanation-making it obvious that it was done just to push “the message”-that is immersion-breaking. They have introduced tons of new characters in new Trek. They could have easily made any number of them gay. Sulu was never gay, and he was even something of a lady’s man at times. The only reason they chose to break the gay ice with Sulu was because of the actor, not because of the character. It wasn’t just a revelation about Sulu-it was a contradiction of what we already knew about him. It’s like they thought George Takei had somehow been mistreated by asking him to play a straight character, and they had to “make it right.” For an example of how this can be done well, take Cortez from Mass Effect. When we first meet him, he’s mourning the death of his husband. He’s obviously gay, but he’s not there to lecture the player about “the message.” He actually goes through a very sympathetic character arc about dealing with grief. He’s a well-written character that improves the story rather than distracting from it. Gay Sulu does the opposite-and the big “reveal” scene is even played like a gotcha moment; as if the writers were telling the audience, “ha! You probably assumed he had a wife-bigots!” That’s the difference. Literally nobody is complaining about gay characters, so please put that straw man to rest. It’s lazy and tired.

Make That Fictional Character into a Flanderized Version of Takei.

Yeah, considering the main villain was a career soldier before starfleet, so you'd think he understood the risks to begin with. What is odd is that Scotty remarks about how "They're called starships for a reason." on the matter of atmo flight but he ignores the fact they had the Enterprise flitting about in the air AND underwater in the previous flick. Considering how the Franklin has survived all this time and manages to kick ass far better and survive further damage compared to the Kelvin-prise, there certainly needed to be a more convincing explanation.

Many years after the end of WW2, a lone soldier was discovered in a remote jungle, still believing the war was still on. He didn't turn against Japan....

​@@neilgodwin6531 i doubt their life was easy after that though. It must have shifted his perspective on dedication to cause.. but maybe not cos seriously.. this person dug down and avoided contact and killing.. he might have maintained he was "fighting the war" but he mostly just avoided "enemies" and survived.. if he had been doing raids on towns he would have been found much earlier. So probably after they just carried on doing mostly that. Ducking out of everything new and living by small means.

Disallusionment isnt exclusive. How many people join military forces thinking they will never actually get sent into battle and killed. Or think they are ok with it until they get shot or blown up and realise the country only sees you as ecpendable meat.. psychologically speaking.. turning against the peolple that sold you glory and delivered suffering isnt far fetched. Especially if you felt wrongly burned becaude of the wrong motivation.

@Jeffery Amherst dbz abridged

I heard he's a foul POS. So I don't care about his displeasure.

*oh, my*

Listen, I agree Takei can be a monumental ass but even a monumental ass occasionally shits in the right place. That Takei would come out and say just because he is gay doesn't mean the character he played was gay is spot on. Sulu is Sulu and Takei is Takei. I know the whole thing of the new Trek universe was the time split but it was NOT a character change. Certainly characters may develop differently after that split from the ones we became familiar with but a 20/30 year old Sulu would not suddenly become homosexual after that time divergence. As Takei said in one of the few times I can agree with him, introducing a character who is gay is fine but it should be a NEW CHARACTER who doesn't have an entire history of NOT being gay already established.

@Dark Matter You know, no one ever says, "It was a really good story, but I hated the episode because of the poor practical effects." Good writing can survive technical issues; technical mastery can never rescue bad writing.

Star Trek was ALWAYS about the story and the fact that violence and aggression were only to be used as a means of last resort (Specter of the Gun). The writing is bad and the stories are awful because very few of today's writers can write about nothing new; it all has to be plagiarized and even then, it's been done far better by for more talented people.

Without good writing, you have terrible movies. Agree 100%.

I never really thought about that. You're probably right.... Shit.

Vote with your feet, folks. Nothing else is going to change the world.

What's even funnier is how they tried to justify Sulu being gay in canon. See, because Kirk's father was killed on the Kelvin and didn't get to be an influence in Kirk's life... something something Hikara Sulu prefers dudes to ladies.

Because Takei is actually someone who has the mental faculties to realize: changing people into your minority doesn’t build up that group, it just diminishes and angers another group, and puts everyone on a less cooperative road.

Unfortunately, this is a different timeline (the so-called and disastrous Kelvin Timeline, because of the events in the first Jar Jar Abrams film).

I mean, no real actor wants to be a Ben Stiller or any other actor that acts out their own personality as anything their character is. I get it. Sulu was never gay.

@@pwnmeisterage Either way. Two Thumbs Up, you guys, but you have to share.

He's right, its blatant pandering and unnecessary in a Sci fi adventure story. It's not a romance, the characters sexuality is irrelevant.

It is relevant because today idiots from the left keep pushing for representation. "How can he play a gay, he was never gay!" "how can she play trans female she is straight!" "how can he play disabled, there are enough disabled people to play one" and so on. America allows that to happen each and every day.

@@zrider100z I mean, there's really not much you can do outside of protesting it with your wallets and critique it. Or simply create art and get more involved in the culture. I hate it as much as the next guy, but in the end. It's just a movie.

At least those movies were self-aware and don't take themselves too seriously, at least not in the same way that the recent Star Trek stuff has been (disregarding the animated Rick & Morty ripoff), and I at least remember them, no matter how ridiculous they become. And I'll freely admit to liking Fast & Furious both ironically and legitimately, without needing to sound like The Last Jedi apologists.

It stands out as a great scene in an otherwise crappy movie. However, I think it's out of character, not because Kirk wouldn't mourn the loss of his ship, but because he's still in a fight for his life. He would put off the mourning until later.

I respectfully disagree. In The Naked Time when Kirk is fighting the infection that has ravaged his crew and caused Riley to lock himself in Engineering and power down the warp drive, Kirk steels himself and rallies his strength saying..."I'll never lose you.. Never lose you" referencing the Enterprise. From that scene alone we see how critical the Enterprise is to Kirk, how powerful a force it is in his life. Watching it burn up in the atmosphere of the Genesis planet had to have been the most intensely painful experience of his life, so yes indeed, he'd take that moment to mourn the loss of the one thing that defined his life to that point.

It's not clear that the original crew even tried. Which only makes the motivation of the villain even stupider; why seek revenge against the Federation for abandoning you when you didn't even try to return under your own steam.

I wanna ask "You ever see what Scotty can do with an Apple II?", but that's giving Simon Pegg too much credit.

Of course. He’s Scotty.

TBF they gave up on that ship decades ago and Scotty's technical knowledge is way beyond theirs. The reason Jaylah is safe in that ship is because Krall has pretty much forgotten it still exists.

The people who wrote DS9 for example or the drinker himself.

but they wouldn't be able to pat themselves on the back if they did that.

Those used to be called 'dramaturge' back in the day; or, 'producer'.

Except that hollywood's motivation is NOT to make good movies, but make money... Stupid people are the majority of humanity, and stupid people love to watch this s*** = M O N E Y!

"Nah, it'll be fine." said Jar Jar Abrams, to your suggestion. "Besides, if the studio does that, I'll be out of a job!" He noted.

On the subject of the Enterprise, why are the warp nacelles so close together in the Kelvin Timeline movies?

True

Because the new writers, the new designs, the producers, and the director forgot one vital character of the whole series; the actual ship. The Enterprise of the original series was a beautiful vessel; bow to stern. It had a balance silhouette between the different hulls and the main engines. It was sleek, fast, and powerful just by the look of it. As a kid, this is the very first reason I fell in love with the series. Now, you have this hideous, bulbous, mess of disproportionate cylinders, thinned out and abstract hulls for absolutely no reason, and a neck that makes someone want to strangle it to death. I feel sick every time I look at the ship from this series. What's funny is that the new Enterprise at the end of this film looks no different and inspires no feeling of pride. The phasers of the original design were powerful by the sounds they made and how they were displayed and seldom used. The photon torpedoes were only used as a weapon of last resort. They were described as a weapon not to be taken lightly and dangerous. Now, this series has the ship firing phasers and photon torpedos, and star wars laser cannons for every little spec of space they encounter. If you want my opinion, this is how the ship has been emasculated.

What do you mean? The Falcon Was great in solo.

Darkness1984 they injected the spirit of l337 into it

That would explain a lot about JJ and his movies.

So most fanfics? (I'm not trying to trash all aspiring writers just look at good examples of writing in a universe you want to make a fanfic about then work within the standards of that universe instead of puling shit outta your ass)

… it does sound awesome though 😅

Yeah and using Beastie Boys? Well since their music was decades before this movie came out I guess you can’t call it pandering to the kiddies…but they’re still a commercial product. If “loud” music was required to defeat the enemy ships, why not use Sonic Youth, Hüsker Dü, Dinosaur Jr, Glenn Branca, or My Bloody Valentine, from the same general era? Oh yeah, they’re not nearly as well known for a potential soundtrack (and also much better, and would actually challenge, or unhinge (the point of using music in this scenario) listeners in the audience )

I think you mean LDS!

Still the most fun of the three reboot Treks though. That said I ever ever want to watch it ever again. Just last month as a family we had a double bill of Voyage Home and Undiscovered Country. Now they were proper Star Trek films.

The Voyage Home and Wrath Of Khan were the best Trek movies.

@@desperatemohammedantheworl5833 I agree that its probably the best out of new trek. That's saying a lot lol. I saw it at the cinema with my Dad and remember enjoying it. A year later I saw it again on TV and forgot about 2/3rds of the film. Then I started watching the TOS and realised just how awful the new films were.

@@dongately2817 I think Undiscovered Country is almost on parr with those two, if it had been the last Star Trek film it would have been a worthy epitaph for the franchise.

@@dongately2817 Man, I watched Wrath of Khan for the first time this year. I was in tears by the end. What a film!

I’ve always hated that too. It’s amazing how much thought went into the old shows and movies. They were damaged by shockwave mostly at first.

That's one of the only things done right in The Last Jedi, a shield on one of the rebel ships is shown completely negating repeated turbolaser hits. But everywhere else it seems like shields do nothing at all. Also, why do no ships have armor? Just windows that look easily broken?

@@nicholastuttle2445 Not windows, camera I think.

@@nicholastuttle2445 This is why I loved so much Battlestar Galactica. Military shipd did not have windows and a bridge was in fact in the center of the ship. It was impossible to shot or board bridge directly. It even had a feeling as if it was submarine bridge with size of a cruiser bridge. Oh, and battlestars were really heavily armored.

@@OldSkullSoldier I’ve found many things stupid about Starfleet ship design. Bridges on the outside of the ship instead of the centre for example. (Heck I’d put a lot of things in the centre of the ship such as a medical deck in a short walking distance from the bridge) safety harnesses for everyone-especially the bridge seats. Have you seen the five point harnesses real life airline pilots use? Warp nacelles that stick out so far and at absurd angles, I mean shit, even if it was how warp technology worked and you needed distance between the nacelles and deflector there are far superior ways of doing it than nacelles on sticks. Something a bit along the lines of a bird or prey or a warbird? But equally you could just take the general shape of a modern widebody aircraft and place the nacelles on the wing tips instead of slung under the wings like say, an A350. The deflector could be either split into two smaller units and slotted where the wing meets the body, or embedded in the hull where the nose fattens out into the widest part of the main body. You could definitely put weapons on the wings. Ugh, and what’s worse is that by the time of DS9 they appear to have largely solved that problem because the Defiant has no pylons or wings to space out of warp nacelles so I guess they could start designing much more practical ships. I could go on, but I’ve made my point already.

Star Trek: Be-yawned.

What does Spock want with Uhura,they were never really together.

They probably took it from something too. Not saying they did but I wouldn't be surprised. Simpsons rehashed things all the time but it's the execution that counts.

It’s not original either way

Douglas Adams did it prior to both; see G'Gugvuntt/Vl'Hurg fleet.

It's "Benderama" time! Start biting...

@@StoneCorazon Originality is not a necessity. Like Stexen up there said, it's all in the execution.

I guess even in a future with limitless resources humanity still can't fix stupid.

Not to mention they send that women who poses as a "survivor" why didnt they do that 100 years ago?

*looking for the sequel....Cats...Spayed*

There's not enough alcohol in the UK for that.

The film as bad as getting run over by your car after getting to put the handbrake on.

He should review 'sausage party' (2016)

Come on y'all it was a tribute to Furrys everywhere.

It's weird that they pushed him into the background. It's been said over and over again that the trio was what made ST great and yet he took a backseat.

wat the fuck dude, thats billy butcher? but is it really???? he looks so different

Agreed. Most of the actors they picked are pretty good (though I'm not keen on Simon Pegg's Scotty). They messed up Uhura and Spock with that stupid love affair, completely out of character for both of them and damages both characters, but that was on the writers not the actors. The Bones/Spock/Kirk trio could have been great again with competent writing.

Society demonizes male bonding. It's been gaslighted as gay for decades. And it was a nice subversive touch to make the vulcan want the magical vajayjay - and cry a lot.

Karl Urban tried his best, alas...
