Star Trek - J.J.Abrams Bold New ...

"Star Trek(2009) J.J.Abrams vision of the Star Trek universe is both unique and faithful. It brings a youthful energy to a familiar cast of characters. It was dangerous territory. The Star Trek franchise can be credited with the most diehard fans around. Not the usual blood, sweat, and tears fans found in the sports world for example; but fans that immerse themselves in the fictional universe and all the details it has to offer. Crossing facts or redefining characters can result in your product being labeled a pariah, banished from the Star Trek lexicon. It takes a bold new approach sometimes to put to question what details really matter. J.J.Abrams Star Trek is a prequel that points the crew of the enterprise in a new direction using a familiar plot device to fans of the franchise, Time Travel. Through a careful incision, Abrams changed the course of history and opened up a new universe of possibilities. The film opens to the moment Abram’s makes his mark and inserts the vil ... " [More]

Bullets of Summer: Movie Edition

"Picking up more pieces from this summer of non-blogging. Now, summer films. Star Trek. Like, well, pretty much everybody, I found the new Trek film to be well-cast and thoroughly entertaining. Structurally, I think that the intro for Kirk could have been tighter – the joyride scene in no way needs to be as drawn out as it is, especially not when followed by the bar fight. For me, the movie really gets started when Spock shows up. And yet, I do agree with Chris Wisniewski at Reverse Shot about the lack of philosophical ambition in JJ Abrams' reboot. Trek's creators have always strived to make the franchise about something, and while this hasn't always led to good film or TV, it does, I think, help explain the durability of the storyworld. The new movie is not only the first installment that seems to have been made purely for thrill and spectacle, but allows horrific genocide to go by with hardly more than a nod in the direction of the profundity of such an event. I still enjoyed the ... " [More]

STAR TREK a film review

"Forty-three years after Gene Roddenberry first boldly went where no one had gone before and thirty years after the first cinematic endeavor and twenty-two years after the coming of the next generation and seven years after the last movie attempt (and at least fifteen years after anyone really cared anymore), Star Trek has been reborn - or should I say, rebooted. Daring us to once again boldly go while at the same time tagging us with the bold statement that this was no longer our father's Star Trek (or in the case of us "older folks" who grew up with the original series - "our" Star Trek), TV wunderkind J.J. Abrams has managed the seemingly impossible. He has made a Star Trek so ingrained with four plus decades of sci-fi mythology as to please even the most discerning of die-hard Trekkers (even those still living in their parent's basement at near middle age - their own phasers set on stun) while at the same time keeping it youthful enough to bring aboard legions of novice Starf ...

Star Trek Boldly Goes Where It' ...

"A week ago, I was enjoying a short vacation and excursion to the Windy City to visit some friends I had not seen in a bit and to enjoy a bit of shopping and high-priced dining. The trouble is that the Windy City was largely the Hot City, and so I was less apt to do outdoors and touristy activities than I was to find indoor places to play. I've been to Chicago too many times to be a bona fide tourist anymore anyway, as opposed to an idle visitor, so I did not feel like I was missing anything. I digress. So, last Friday, when it was both hot and stormy, my friend and I decided to catch a film at the multiplex off Michigan Avenue and to take in some downtown type food afterward. We elected to see Star Trek, as neither of us had seen it, we are both modest trekkers (at least from past precedent), and none of our other friends would be likely to want to see it with us. [More]

More Star Trek!

"Space, the final frontier. These are the voyages of the franchise Star Trek; it’s continuing mission to seek out lucrative licensing opportunities. To blandly go where there has been a comfortable encampment for decades! To be honest, I didn’t hate the new Star Trek movie. It looked really pretty. There were some decent performances… It didn’t poison any significant memories of my childhood. And did I mention it was pretty? Oh, and hopefully it will stir the exploratory spirit of the movie-going world and fuel a resurgent space age, one which will carry a united humankind into it’s interplanetary adolescence. High hopes, I admit… But what Trek was to me, both TOS and TNG (to toss around Trekkie shorthand) was optimism. It was a positive furture created by and for sentient beings out of enlightened self-interest, intellectual curiosity and a genuine desire for the betterment of all peoples. A utopian future that looked hoplessly naive, but was the better for it. However, w ... " [More]

"Star Trek It is a wonderful thing to see what a talented director of Generation X can do with a piece of media. In some ways JJ Abrams’ Star Trek is a revelation. In other ways it is a vastly missed opportunity. First the good part. This haute critic had the good fortune to view the film in IMAX and it benefits from the facelift. The visuals are (for the most part) gorgeous - filled with inspired architecture of what an optimistic and very human future might look like. Abrams takes the look and feel of vintage 60’s Trek and resurrects it boldly into the 21st century. Costumes have just the right flush of color to give you the feel that you are watching “in real life” what the folks captured “on TV” in the 60’s. And the characters go there as well. Abrams fully modern touch hangs real psychological depth on our once legendary two dimensional favorites. Kirk, Spock, McCoy and Uhura. Even Checkov, Scotty and Sulu come to us now suddenly as real people with real motivations b ... " [More]

"Star Trek is just a whole lot of fun. Director J.J. Abrams ("Mission Impossible III") takes us back to when the original crew were just cadets at Starfleet Academy. The story messes with the whole series' timeline, setting the stage for a whole other round of sequels. So there's that. But the effects are really good. The audience I was it with clapped and cheered. Fun, fun. And worth seeing on the big screen.I'm still not really sure what to think about Catch and Release. It's not really a romantic comedy, though there are bits of that. It's not really a tragedy, though elements of that are present, too. And it's not really great, but it has some good moments. Jennifer Garner ("Ghost of Girlfriends Past") stars as a woman whose fiancee dies and then she discovers that he had a child he never told her about. I guess it's just an interesting character study. I did think about it for several days, which is always a plus.In Cold Blood is the film version of Truman Capote's nonfiction n ... " [More]

"It has been a while since an action movie was this entertaining. I havent felt this exited since Spider-Man 1 & 2. The casting was just perfect, although I had my doubts about it at first. I have nothing but good things to say about the visuals. I even loved the lens flares! JJ Abrams managed to do an almost perfect action scifi movie. Only thing that could have made it even better would have been a theme of some kind. " [More]
