Star Trek Gooshiness!
Star Trekkk!! Nitpicking mode was off, hence I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. xD
I enjoyed this Star Trek movie precisely because of: - Nostalgia - Bangin' CGI - How shiny everything is! (*koff* Apple store) - Compelling accompanying score - Quick pacing - Bad@ss drill (freakin' molten lava jet!) - The ending, which was classic Star Trek, lol - Ok ok, Zachary Quinto is attractive. : P
Unfortunately, while pleasant and captivating, these toppings cannot hold up a movie all on their own. Upon further review, the movie is an entertaining riot of plot holes and contrivances.
1. Anyone else slightly uneasy with Kirk's childhood extreme adrenaline-seeking behaviour, wanton destructiveness and impulsiveness, and obsession with pollution-spewing relics of a capitalist past? Oh, and the cure: Place him in a position of authority?! Pike sure is a gambling man.
2. IOWA??
3. That mining ship was packing some serious heat. Enough to destroy 2 separate groups of ships. Why not a remnant group of Warbirds, bent on revenge? And does the operator of a mining ship really need a sceptre? lol And why does a ship have tiny little bridges that people can fall off of??
4. Parachuting from space... there are so many things wrong with that idea, lol
5. Ok, you can't just go around spawning blackholes everywhere. "A black hole is a region of space in which the gravitational field is so powerful that nothing, including light, can escape its pull." Delta Vega should've been sucked in, considering you could see the whole damn blackhole-age from the surface. O_O It's like popping a blackhole where our Moon is, you'd get more than rising tides, I promise you!
6. "Here's the Enterprise, the best ship evar. Let's put some fresh cadets into it, only one senior officer, and see what happens!"
7. Scotty was a bit of an afterthought. Ehh we'll just promote him to chief engineer, since we incinerated the last one, and we only pack one good officer for every 20 useless ones whose job designation is "jumping away from a spray of sparks in the engine room". lol
8. Everyone's good-looking. TOO good-looking. =___= lol
I would've liked to see more of their training in Starfleet. For all the explaining about their origins, there wasn't much character development...
Oh who cares, it was Fun and Exciting! At last, a Star Trek movie that caters to my impressionable, excitement-loving side!
