Edit to add: CRAP! I didn't know that they had already raised the price! Dang! I guess I won't be biting on this set, as much as I want it. I may just go the Best Buy route. DARNIT! |
Re: Star Trek: Nov 17
You should still order and see if it gets lowered before release. They still have the preorder price guarantee. You can cancel before it releases if the price doesnt change. And, you never know if it actually sells out, it will be a good deal even at the higher price.

Re: Star Trek: Nov 17
It's clear now what everyone on my Christmas List will be getting!

Re: Star Trek: Nov 17
What a great movie. Definite purchase.
|
Re: Star Trek: Nov 17
I will be getting the blu ray on day 1. This was my favorite movie of the summer.
Liked the original artwork better but I will get over it since I only ever look at the cover when taking the disc out or putting it back in.... |
Re: Star Trek: Nov 17
Amazon actually returned the limited trek set back to 90.99 if anybody is interested.

Re: Star Trek: Nov 17
I'm really looking forward to this release. JJ really gets the format and gives us some really good extras on his films in the past.
I really want to see that scene when the Enterprise comes out of Saturns rings (to me, the coolest looking scene in the film) in HD quality. Always reminded me of that bit in STII when she comes up behind the Relient. |
Re: Star Trek: Nov 17
Just looking on iTunes as this film is up for pre-order, here are some of the comments for this.
"This film is brilliant beyond belief!" "seriously, this is the best film ever! everything about it is brilliant!" "legendary, film of the century" I kid you not! Me? I just enjoyed it alot. |
Re: Star Trek: Nov 17
Me, I agree with those comments!!!

Re: Star Trek: Nov 17
Yep Story wise frankly its a mess. To me almost as bad as transformers 2. But it's trek and the characters are so damn great of course people forget the story basically makes no fucking sense at times.
Also I see big macro blocking during the vulcan transporter scene. Lasts about 30 seconds. |

Re: Star Trek: Nov 17
Same here. I thought the story was clever and incredibly well put together. I'm really not sure how one doesn't follow it. My wife hates Star Trek normally, but even she 'got' this movie and enjoyed it immensely.

Re: Star Trek: Nov 17
It's not hard to follow, but it's certainly not "incredibly well put together" either. The characters are well-written but there's definitely some lazy writing as far as the story's concerned.

Re: Star Trek: Nov 17
The only thing I could never get was what Nero and his crew did? Were they just sitting there in the ship for twenty odd years?

Re: Star Trek: Nov 17
The writers should've just gone with a straight reboot. Having this film in continuity with the overall series created some lazy writing on their part. It's the script that almost kills the direction of JJ Abrams and the wonderful cast he assembled.
For me, this film is very much in the same vain as Iron Man. The performances and slick directing mask the script problems. Differences between the two is that Abrams doesn't drop the ball in the third act the way Favreau did with Iron Man. I'm still baffled by the "red matter" science. Hell, with Nero's drill, why not use that instead of imploring this "red matter." You could easily rip into this script and into this movie almost as much as Revenge of the Fallen. (a film I know is completely horrendous at the script level, but like Abrams, Bay's direction and the fact that I like the cast save it. My guilty pleasure of 2009). |

Having seen JJ Abrams' previous work on ALIAS, I thought the look of the red matter was a bit of a tribute to the Mueller/Rambaldi device from that show... |
