Star Trek or How J. J. Abrams Learned To Love The Lens Flare.
The gathering I set up to watch Star Trek on IMAX was an awesome success. For one, everyone got there before the movie actually started, ha ha.
My not-so-spoilery thoughts on the Star Trek movie in bullet points:
Before the movie started I was like:
- Oh God, this so called "Star Trek" is trying to be so mainstream and "cool".
And then the movie started and I was like:
- MOST EMOTIONAL OPENING EVER.
- Spock is such an asshole. I love it.
- Technobabble? There's no technobabble here.
- Oh snap! It's the Kobayashi Maru.
- God, the lens flares....
- Sulu, you fail.
- I can't believe they did that!
- I can't believe they did THAT!
- Most epic red shirt death ever.
- Sulu: Fuck Yeah!
- Cloverfield cameo in 3, 2, 1....
- So many lens flares that lens flares had their own lens flares.
- Winona Ryder? Really?!
- Industrial Light and Magic worked on Star Trek?! HERESY.
- Star Trek get rebooted, yet Star Trek Enterprise is still canon....
