Future dudes with ‘tude



  • I’m no big Star Trek fan, but the trailer for the upcoming installment looks identical to every bad action movie that’s been released in the last ten years. I’m expecting Vin Diesel to jump out as Khan. The guys playing Kirk and Spock look like a couple of tweens fresh off the Disney Channel. Way illogical, dude.

    I agree. "Workmanlike" has always been a viture of the series, or at least was. Trying to do something new with the miserable budget of sixties television with the original. And when they made the leap to movies the fact of it felt out of step with trends in sci fi cinema gave them an odd charm. The director has said several times in interviews that he's not a fan of the original and it shows. The interiors look like an Apple store and the actors have that just off the factory line sheen.

    I agree.

    In the trailer, most noticeably toward the beginning with the speeding car, there's an audio effect that sounds like a door slamming. It's been used to death throughout the past decade. Now it almost feels retro.

    I am a fan of the series and I have one word for this: Ugh.

    It's like "Muppet Babies" only in space.
