[QUOTE]Originally posted by MrNeutron: [QB] Personally, while I liked what TUC was trying to do, I thought it was a ham-fisted way of doing it. The movie fell pray to my biggest complaint with Star Trek: that it wants to touch on important issues, but it's only willing to do so by [i]telling[/i] the audience that it's deep, not by showing any depth itself. The quotes from Shakespeare, which should have served as literary allusions to the themes being explored, are overused to the point that they club you over the head not with a message, but merely as the filmmakers showing you they've read it...or at least used Bartlett's familiar quotations. The racism displayed is also too heavy handed...it would have been more shocking to see it come out with subtlety, allowing the characters themselves to be able to see it for the first time by hearing it from the lips of their supposedly enlightened compatriots. And Scotty's "I bet that Klingon bitch killed her father!" still makes me cringe. [/QB][/QUOTE]
