[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mars Needs Women: [QB] I saw the movie this afternoon. I liked it more than the first film, maybe because it didn't need a tie-in comic to make plot more sense. In fact, I think the tie-in comic had very little to do with this movie. But I digress: Nibiru scene - Meh. The natives draw an image of the Big E's top side, even though the only got a good look at its front and bottom. If Spock didn't like Kirk's violation of the Prime Directive, why did he go along with mission and even volunteer for the most dangerous part? So in the event of an attack all high-level Starfleet Officers are to meet in the poorly guarded Starfleet HQ. They're at the same level of intelligence as the Jedi Council. So Praxis has already exploded? The "D4 class" Bird of Prey - its the Klingon equivalent of a VTOL Osprey. I wanted to hate this design, but considering its purpose as a patrol vessel its one of the more sensible ship designs in the reboot universe. Lots of civilian vehicles on Earth, and shuttles seen throughout the film. I think they reused the Kelvin shuttle design. The troop transport from the last film appears to have been redesigned, its fold out wings are longer in length, and folds out at a much steeper angle than before. There's also a variant for hauling cargo, seen at the Vengeance's drydock. Aside from the Vengeance, no new Starfleet designs, but the Newton-type and Armstrong-type do make brief appearances. So yeah, Kahn. He was ultimately the d-bag we know and love. But were those crocodile tears he shed in the brig? Magic blood- I don't know. I mean if Kahn had rapid regenerative abilities, it would come in handy in The Wrath of Kahn, where he's all effed up after the Enterprise severely damages the Reliant. Also his jump from the crashed Vengeance seemed implausible. He doesn't die, which leaves open the possibility he could come back. If they don't bring him back, whoever is the next villain has tough act to follow. It would have been nice to see the Botany Bay. The reverse Kirk and Spock TWOK scene; my initiate reaction was, "Oh no, please don't do this". Then it changed to, "Well at least he didn't die from falling of a bridge, and then the bridge falling on him." But then I remembered Lazarus tribble and Kahn's blood, and another reset button was born. I apologize for the stream-of-conscience writing, there's a lot to digest here, and its not nearly as a non-nonsensical as the last film. [/QB][/QUOTE]
