Why the fuck is JJ so terrible?
Also it was amusing seeing Jeff Bezos' name in the credits at the end.
Brayden Campbell
yep. best blockbuster i've seen in the last few years
Landon Edwards
>Least profit
Angel Gray
It's pretty high up there, for sure.
Yeah it's unfortunate that it's the least popular. Fuck normalfags.
Oliver Barnes
I liked all the movies but Beyond definitely feels closer to TOS, loved that scene with the Beastie Boys.
Caleb Cruz
Right? And the surfing motif actually worked.
Easton Diaz
>best motorcycle in star trek
Samuel Watson
after the first boarding section the movie really picked up and felt like an adventure through their series we are not actually watching while being campy and mainstream without being completely insulting
was good
Landon Phillips
Indeed, it was a good balance.
Connor Thompson
I thought Shatner had an actual cameo in the movie besides just being in that picture in the end, did I miss something?
Leo Davis
>did I miss something? No.
If he was supposed to have a cameo, I never heard about it.
Angel Martin
The minigun sequence felt out of place but was still awesome.
Noah Ward
>The scene where Kirk tells the big bad "All lives matter"
How did he get away with that
Liam Murphy
The original draft written by Robert Orci (of the infamous Alex Kurtzman & Robert Orci duo that gave us hit films such as Star Trek Into Darkness and The Amazing Spider-Man 2) called for Shatner to come back so he could have a scene with Pine but Simon Pegg just thought that was stupid fucking idea.
Guess which one of them is the actual Star Trek fan.
Liam Wilson
What did he mean by this?
Oliver Carter
>Why the fuck is JJ so terrible?
He and Justin Lin are both capable directors but they can only work with the screenplays they have.
Kayden Turner
I don't remember that for some reason.
kek
Based Pegg. It definitely seems like he had a positive influence on the script.
Joshua Harris
Abrams is a guy with good ideas and he can direct an inoffensive movie...
But Star Wars and his Trek movies just feel so empty and soulless. They weren't bad, per se but they were more like a fanfiction than anything else
Joshua Edwards
I fucking hated this film.
I absolutely could not stand the constant need to explain to the audience what is happening, what is going wrong, what thermal transbobulators need to quantumify the garglature needs to be done, and then the moment that problem is overcome, THE NEXT ONE APPEARS and repeat. Then they defeat the large-scale attack force with the power of rock, and then Elba and Pine get in a zero gravity bitch fight and it ends
God I couldn't wait for the fucking terrible movie to end
And I love Star Trek and found this unbearable
Mason Garcia
I can understand why people would feel that way but honestly I found the prequels more fanfiction than TFA.
I really hated the heavy reliance on lightsabers, the constant name-dropping and how they made Vader be this ultimate CHOSEN ONE purely because he became so iconic from the OT.
For me, TFA felt way more constrained by comparison and gave us to new characters I actually did care about.
Rey's trip to that ocean planet to find Luke felt way more grand and mysterious than literally every planet I saw in the PT.
Ryder Moore
There were definitely a couple technobabble explanation moments, but surprisingly it didn't bother me, as that kind of shit usually does. I just felt like it was handled organically
Ryder Roberts
>but they were more like a fanfiction than anything else
This is a meme argument with no substance. You can't say anything bad about TFA or JJTrek so you just come up with unfalsifiable bullshit
It's because JJ prioritized telling a story and establishing characters over CGI density
Nathan King
It was a mindless action movie. Literally identical to every summer action explosions bang bang you're dead that get made every year. It was a huge waste of time; I wouldn't even bother putting this trash in some kind of hierarchy.
William Nelson
I preferred the 2009 one, but not by a huge amount. Think I rated them 8/10, 6/10 and 7/10, respectively.
What was the TNG callout at the end? Went over my head.
Leo Nguyen
Zoe Saldana is so beautiful
Jackson Thompson
>What was the TNG callout at the end? Just the monologue as Enterprise A came together.
Ethan Edwards
I don't get how that's a TNG callout. You know Kirk gives that speech at the beginning of every episode of TOS, yeah?
Aaron Williams
>music as weapon Hello Mars attacks
Jacob Morris
It's slightly different, in that they say "continuing mission" instead of "five year mission".
You can call me autistic, and it will be true.
Parker Jackson
>pacing
Literally only plebs care about this
Jack Anderson
No, that's cool, I guess I can see that. They also obviously do the "no one" rather than "no man".
I don't think either of those were intended as throwbacks to TNG, though, so much as just reciting the declaration as it currently stands.
Isaiah Hill
>best plot Out of fucking nowhere we must go on a rescue mission, oh no we get attacked who would have guessed, oh no they're going to attack the exact place we came from out of everywhere in the universe, oh boy that alien was actually a human because that makes sense >best pacing EXPLOSIONS CHASES QUIPS MOTORBIKES MORE EXPLOSIONS >best action scenes EXPLOSIONS CHASES QUIPS MOTORBIKES MORE EXPLOSIONS >best settings Generic cuurrrazy alien world >briefly but effectively addressed how the Federation emerged from a more militaristic Earth Briefly because the rest of the movie was ADD CGI garbage >genuinely cool use of music as a weapon in a space battle, even if it's still fantasy bullshit Pandering to 15 year olds >introduction of Enterprise A at the end Who fucking cares at that point? >actually useful and interesting qt alien waifu muh girl power master of engineering, combat and everything else mary sue >that TNG call-out at the end Who fucking cares at that point?
Jeremiah Howard
is there a rip of this out yet
Jack Wood
camrip
Kevin Martin
>Pandering to 15 year olds You're giving 25- and 35-year-olds more credit than they deserve.
Also, it's cute that you think the Beastie Boys would be used to pander to today's 15-year-olds.
Leo Gomez
Seriously the plot was really bad though.
Isaiah Cooper
Why wouldn't the swarm use frequency jumping to prevent jamming? Like, our technology does that now, and it doesn't exist in the future? Guess they need an excuse to play some cool music or whatever
Daniel Thomas
>>genuinely cool use of music as a weapon in a space battle, even if it's still fantasy bullshit
gr8 b8
Luis Hughes
>people on Sup Forums defending a JJ Abrams Well this is strange to see
Owen Lopez
it was nice but the villain was shit tier. why can't they come up with good villains anymore
Bentley Carter
Are you all retarded? This film was absolute dog shit. Boring and generic. There's absolutely no point in being emotionally invested because they never follow through. >OH NO KIRK'S DEAD No he's not >OH NO THE ENTERPRISE HAS BEEN DESTROYED It will be rebuilt >OH NO THE VILLAIN IS GONNA WIN AND KILL EVERYONE really... >OH NO THE WHOLE CITY IS GONNA BE DESTROYED no it won't
>So we can all unironically agree that Beyond was easily the best of the three new Star Trek movies, right? yes. but the bar was not exactly high
you've been fed so much piss and shit that you've become happy when it's just shit.
Camden Green
wrong jj
Jaxson Watson
Because most normies don't even know that EW exists.
Why?
>you've been fed so much piss and shit that you've become happy when it's just shit. Basically, yes, but at least this shit had a whole bunch of chocolate syrup on it.
Cameron Ross
Nice bait faggot
This movie is total shit.
Cooper Nelson
>Why the fuck is JJ so terrible? He isn't so much terrible as being someone who always dreamt of making rides for Disneyland until he was told that it's a stupid dream, so he decided to make movies instead.
I mean I hate the guy with a passion, but seriously, he could probably make some pretty awesome rides.
Joseph Gutierrez
>Random dirt bike >Better than based Zündapp KS750 I mean it's nice and all, but can you use it to go cross country, taking turns with your buddy without blistering your ass? I think not!
Brandon Nelson
Friendly reminder that Dukat did nothing wrong.
Cooper Cox
it had a plot ?
did we even watched the same movie ?
didn't see any star trek stuff before, but if this last turd was gold by your standard, I guess it's not worth to watch all of this shit
Cameron Adams
>being someone who always dreamt of making rides for Disneyland until he was told that it's a stupid dream, so he decided to make movies instead.
Jesus...it all makes sense now
Mason Cox
How in the fuck they deduced that the nigger was Kraal?
Benjamin James
Jayla deserved to be in a better franchise
Joshua Brown
Uhura, the communications expert, heard his voice in the recording that was playing and recognized it sounded just like Krall's, there was an entire scene devoted to this but somehow you missed it
Angel Lee
why did it have such a shitty trailer?
Levi Ortiz
D R O P P E D R O P P E D
Kevin Russell
What was wrong with Into Darkness? I mean sure it was a pale imitation of Wrath of Khan but it was a decent film on its own, and had a much more coherent story than the first nuTrek movie.
Christian Reyes
LE GREEN TEXT BLANKET STATEMENTS MAYMAY EBIN OPINION !!!
Carter Cruz
so is there a decent torrent of this yet? I can't beat the no singles policy.
Colton Russell
So why didn't all that many people go see it. Big budget, good reviews, based Idris Elba...
Even Anton Yelchin's death didn't make people want to go see it.
Why? I don't get it.
Bentley Ortiz
i didn't think it was advertised as much desu. i totally forgot the movie was already out, then i decided to go watch it
