The next Star Trek film will take the Enterprise past the "Great Barrier" and into the centre of the galaxy. There the new BFF team of Kirk and Spock will search for humpback whales while battling Klingons who want to steal the Genesis device from Dr.Marcus. Oh...not THAT Dr.Marcus, but the other one...the one with the tits. Then, after leaving the centre of the galaxy, the Enterprise saves the Ba'ku from the Son'a and uses Khan's regenerative blood to tweak the regenerative radiation from the planet to save Kirk (who dies in every Star Trek movie from now on). Upon returning to Earth, Kirk and Spock save San Francisco and Starfleet Academy from being destroyed by whatever is trying to destroy it this week...probably a Cloverfield monster in reference to JJ Jewname's previous movie that sucked. Doesn't really matter what it is, you'll be able to see it in the background among the frantically running future people. Then at the end, Kirk, having been stripped of his Captaincy earlier in the film (again) once more takes command of the Enterprise in a big ceremony before she flies off into the next reference-filled movie that idiots will gladly pay to watch. The End.

Then...in a post-credits scene where Sulu is sucking off an engineer in a Jeffries tube, an alien suddenly bursts out his chest while a polar bear rampages through Ten-Forward. (If you don't know why I'm making a joke about that then you truly don't understand just how horrible a writer Damon Lindelderp is)

Oh, spoiler alert...

All this and I am about to buy the blu-ray just released here last week

yeah, but we already know you had bad taste. (see above post re: Red 2)

It's a good film but that's exactly what it is, a film

It missed out some pretty big moments that I think would have enhanced the movie and Chris Hemsworth did an alright job but portrayed James Hunt as a rather 1 dimensional character only interested in booze, shagging and racing with some very slight anxiety issues when under pressure from things like journalists. It's a slight issue for me but people who aren't fans of F1 or Hunt in particular probaly wouldn't care if he was a Monk in his spare time and would like to know more about the rivalry with Niki Lauda, which is what Ron Howard would like us to believe.

My biggest gripe is bullshit mixed with fact, either do one or the other but not both imo. Hunt punching a cassette tape into a reporters mouth raised my eyebrow as this never happened and was thrown into the storyline from nowhere, there's no need, another time Hunt says something along the lines of "Isn't that what were here for, To stare death in the face and beat it?, That's the nobility of it.". That's a comment from someone who obviously hasn't even bothered researching the sport. The film also lost the bond between Lauda and Hunt, the movie will have you believe that hatred or envy fueled each others desire to win when nothing was further from the truth. Hunt and Niki had a tremendous amount of respect for each other, they would often socialise and go drinking at parties etc but instead the film would have you believe that upto the point of Lauda's accident that each would have preferred the other dead. So even basing the film on an actual portrayal of rivalry I still think it falls far short.

But the movie does have an ace, the guy who portrayed Niki Lauda was a beast, Daniel Bruhl managed to portray everything about Lauda that Hemsworth failed to achieve with Hunt which, to be fair, was a pretty tall order to begin with. I think the movie is worth it because of this and for me the movie was about him and his determination against his own demons.


[Big spoiler]
In the last race after confusion about the standings Hunt thought he had finished 5th when he needed 3rd for the world championship, arriving back into a celebrating pit crew Hunt apologises to the team for the loss when really Hunt was furious and proceeded to blame everyone but himself, pulling his helmet off looking for a ruck when someone had to wave 3 fingers in his face to indicate his final position to get him to calm down.[/Big spoiler]

If Hunt was portrayed properly then this wouldn't have to be altered and I think shows how big a difference the movie character was from the actual character.

If you do watch this then you really do need to check out the real story, try the BBC documentary called 'F1's Greatest Racing Rivals'. I promise it's even stranger than the movie portrays and is a better tribute to Hunt, it is a shame that there's no input from Lauda in this program though :/

RED 2 - 6/10

I was entertained but it's a bad movie. +1 for blatant product placement; I guess they cut a scene where they use the papa joe's delivery guy to enter the kreml.

Riddick = 3/10 - Kinda boring really with just more of the same from Pitch Black and nothing really happens for the entire first hour. Seriously...nothing happens. Nothing. Right at the beginning of the movie they abandoned the concept of Riddick being a leader of the Necromongers and basically reverted the series back to Riddick simply being a nobody ex-convict stuck on a hostile planet, once again hiding in plain sight and fucking with really dumb mercenaries because he's just so damned hard...or sumthin. Then they ripped off the scene from Pitch Black where they need to move power-module-thingamaboobs across an alien/beast-infected area...because Riddick had to bury them far away from the ships for some reason. This film is a waste of your time and does nothing to progress the overall story of the series. In fact, they've gone backwards. It's like Star Trek in that they're simply gonna reset everything at the end of each movie wherein the characters are in their "standard element"...and with Riddick that's either a desolate planet with hostile aliens or a prison of some kind...probably on a desolate planet with hostile aliens. I'd bet that's all the games will ever be, too.

Such a waste. This series had so much potential after Chronicles but they got lazy, went full retard and now all they're probably gonna do is retell the same crap over and over again of Riddick making pets out of apex predators, playing peek-a-boo with armed baddies and slaughtering an alien beast from time to time, just like this film and just like everything else you've seen before. Riddick as a concept is a terrific idea and the universe they've created for these films is nothing short of fantastic and with endless possibilities, but they don't want to do anything interesting and would rather just have some guy wearing ugly shades pop out of a hiding spot with a knife...because it looks cool on a poster. Riddick was once the leader of a galactic empire and now all they remember is that he's an ex-con with a bounty? You'd think those bounties were removed against himself by, you know, the leader of a galactic empire but apparently there's no statute of limitations on escaping prison when you lose power....or sumthin.

Fuck this franchise.

i still don't get why the necromonger grunt he kills to impress their leader had a dagger seemingly sticking out of his back, which Riddick then pulls out and sticks in his front, thereby killing him instantly

Chronicles was good, but from time to time it went half-retard

fucking LOL

lol I always wondered about that, too.

Oh well, no matter as all the future of this franchise has to offer is more sweaty killing of unkempt low-lifes with empty tuna cans.

don't forget the trailer-friendly one-liners and faux existentialist philosophising

Pacific Rim.

Awful.
I wouldn't mind the atrocious acting or the ridiculous premise (interdimensional portal? wtf?) if the core business of giant monsters was properly executed. But it isn't. The "Kaiju" look like laughable cuddly overgrown muppets.
And then some Independence Day-like payoff? Fucking hell.
Terrible.

Tintin - 6/10; I loved the first 15 minutes until the film turned into a 3d action shitfest. Whenever there was a tiny bit of story developing they leaped into just another sequence of tacky slapstick action. They even turned an exposition flashback into an action sequence. Great music and lovable characters. But nowhere near the original comic books.

Star Trek: Into Darkness - 5/10; Pretty bad. I like the characters of Kirk and Spock as played by Pine and Quinto - that's what made the movie partly enjoyable to me. I also liked the lensflares. Seems to be the visual branding of the Star Trek reboot. I'm ok with that. Ludicrous plot though and lots of action I did not care about.

lol Steven Spielberg, etc.

Europa Report = 6.5/10 - It uses too many dumb horror movie tropes but is otherwise a well made movie. I feel that Europa Report and Apollo 18 are the only "found footage" movies worth watching and I don't think it's coincidence they're both sci-fi. Yes, I am a nerd.

World War Z unrated bluray - 2/10 - bleh, another zombie flick but with Pitt, i'd rather watch the original Night of The Living Dead

Die Hard A Good Day To Die Hard - 2/10 - it sucked imo, just brand names.

better not be disappointed with Red2

checks download bar

The Lone Ranger - 6/10 - Solid movie but lacking fun. Solid script but nothing unpredictable as it heavily relies on ideas allready played out a dozens of times. I'd have given it 7/10 if it was fun to watch.

And I did not like the color scheme of the movie.

This was bugging me, I could have sworn it was explained but I just flicked through the 1st 30 mins and couldn't find shit.

Google says he keeps it as a token from a previous battle, which is what I thought and I can't see how I would have known that unless it was from 1 of the 2 movies

So it's atleast explained in the novels, as far as I can tell it should be explained somewhere in the film n all.

I watched some of Riddick, forgot most of it and have no desire to do a rewatch.

Gravity - 10/10. Amazing amazing amazing!

I don't know why you faggots didn't like Elysium, it was a cool movie and I enjoyed it.

Prolly cause we don't like shit movies. But I'm only speaking for myself.

It was alright, the story was weak but was entertaining enough I thought.

I have yet to discuss this movie IRL with anyone who liked it.

Then they have a stick in their arse

Wouldn't say I liked it but I didn't dislike it either, was middle of the road for me. Sci Fi is so scarce and shit atm n all that I'll hold Elysium up as one of the best in recent years

Films like these don't really need a strong plot or storyline either imo, It wasn't trying to be clever or unique, it was pretty much Minority Report without the midget anyway. Was just a Sci Fi flick. I think films like Inception, Looper, The Knowing, Prometheus are more offensive.

Uhm, no. For all its shortcomings. Minority report was beyond this crap. It has way better action, story, and inspired view of the future.
