[QUOTE]Originally posted by Griffworks: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by The Mighty Monkey of Mim: [qb] Shut the fuck up, you guys. [/qb][/QUOTE]I will if you'll unclench a bit, Kris. It was all meant in jest, methinks. At least, my comment was. ;) [QUOTE][qb] Apart from a few brief moments of excess, STV was great and managed to re-capture the spirit of TOS better than any of the other films. Give me that over the bloated, plot-hole-ridden, politically-pretentious [i]Undiscovered Country[/i] or the mindless space battles of [i]Nemesis[/i] any day.[/qb][/QUOTE]I agree. ST:VI is alright, but there wasn't any real "feel" for the characters. At least, not like you got from Kirk, Spock and McCoy from ST:V. THAT felt like TOS more than any of the other movies, except maybe TWoK. [qb] [QUOTE]Why the hell does everyone like to bitch about this film, anyway? Surely it can't seriously be because the [i]deck numbers[/i] in [i]one extremely short sequence[/i] were wacky. That's crazy-talk.[/qb][/QUOTE]That's one of my issues. Another is the hangar deck looking small, more like a two-car garage than the large area it should have been. The semi-goofiness of [i]Enterprise[/i] as she's hanging in orbit, tons of panels open because this new ship has tons of problems after just being - in theory - completely ready for "sailing" after being released from post-production trials, that whole forward observation lounge on the saucer rim with ships wheel that couldn't possible exist on the ship as she appears in the movie, a "captains log" that "sproings!" like an over-wound childs toy, "We need Jim Kirk" wasn't exactly a convincing line delivered by Harve Bennett to me, [b]*[/b]yeah, the turbolift shaft numbering thing still bugs the crap out of me(!)[8]*[/b] and corny scene w/Scotty's line "I know this ship like the back of my hand!" just before he bangs his head on the support bulkhead. :rolleyes: Those all bug me, but most of them didn't the first couple of times I saw the movie. Still, certain aspects did and still do to some extent. However, I don't generally comment on ST:V being a bad movie, as I still like it after prolly two dozen viewings since it first released in the theaters. [qb] [QUOTE]And at what times, exactly, was TMP "awful"??? -[b]MMoM[/b] :D [/qb][/QUOTE]When the original released plodded on and on and on and on... Stil, I liked it even then, tho it took some patience for me to watch. I think the main problem a lot of folks have with it is because it wasn't exactly action oriented, moves fairly slowly and has those uni-sex uniforms for the crew. I [i]liked[/i] it for those reasons, tho. It didn't feel rushed, even tho you were left w/the feeling that [i]Enterprise[/i] was indeed rushed out of drydock. Just my opinion, anyhow....
