[QUOTE]Originally posted by Nim: [QB] Vanguard: [QUOTE]Is it really so hard to fathom that based on the material presented thus far I absoltely loathe this film?[/QUOTE]If you haven't watched all the ST-movies you suck as a Trekkie! :.) No but seriously, no amount of discussions, reviews or media distributed "about" a book or movie can substitute actually reading or watching it, and people who haven't done that can't be expected to be taken seriously in any discussion of same. It's a basic, logical fact. It was long since I heard someone who worked up the energy to "absolutely loathe" a specific Star Trek offering. I mean, don't get me wrong, I think Trek is fun and entertaining and all, but it's still very simplistic and generalized sci-fi, made in a very soft and PG "one-size-fits-all" mold, content-wise. I could care less about the quality of the drama or acting in the ST-movies (although the first three deliver very well there), nor the stiff and groan-worthy gags (having become a trademark of Trek long time ago). I enjoy it for the practised illusion of seeing actors moving through, and battling with, gigantic make-believe spaceships. It's what drew the audience into TOS in the first place, the immersion. And in that regard, Nemesis delivers. Regarding retcons or contradictions of other ST lore, I don't see any huge loss to the source material, it's kind of dead in the water anyway. Same with Star Wars or LOTR, I'm just glad they're even bothering. [/QB][/QUOTE]
