LOST Star Trek

[Tinker to Evers to Chance]

RedLetterMedia (the guy who did the Star Wars prequel reviews) has a new review up about this.

It's not nearly as funny as the Star Wars reviews, because he actually likes this movie.  I still enjoyed the review.   

What say you, Gil Gunderson?

I say it's a fantastic review.

The popcorn eating masses part killed me.

POLEKATZ!!!!

DPD, but the part about how modern audiences don't know what "sawbones" means saddened me a little bit.

Funny as hell, nevertheless.

Of course they don't. WE DON'T HAVE THE OED IN PRINT ANYMORE!

This movie kicked all kinds of ass.  Best sci-fi movie I've seen since Serenity.

That. What a fun movie.

I know I'm going to regret this more than Weebs' parents regret finishing their basement...but what are the plot holes Chuck was Chucking about?

How about the entire setup with the Supernova for starters?

Go on...

Why would you pick the supernova setup instead of ripping on the fact that Nero just sat around with his thumb up his ass for 20 years waiting for Spock to show up?

I guess his crew was cool with just hanging around, too.  I wonder how many of 'em went ghey.  And, if they did, I wonder how differently LA cops would treat them.  Stew wants to know for some reason.

After the shoot, Abrams cut out some scenes of Kirk and Spock as children, including seeing the latter as a baby, as well as a subplot involving Nero being imprisoned by the Klingons and his escape: this explanation for his absence during Kirk's life confused many to whom Abrams screened the film.

Some characters had their scenes substantially or entirely cut from the film... Victor Garber plays a Klingon interrogator who tortures Nero during his time on Rura Penthe.

Ah, yes... Good old Rura Penthe. They have borax mines there, right?

If Abrams wanted credit for that, he should have put it in the movie.

Borax mines *and* supermodels named Iman.

OK, that one's done.  It's fine, but it also really aims low. They played it safe and took no chances at all.

Note to TEC: Deep Space Nine gets a nod.

I didn't read this, but you Star Trek people might be interested.
