Star Trek - The Reboot Film - Our POV
Mood:  d'oh

Star Trek

The 'Reboot' Film

a.k.a. Star Trek XI or Star Trek Zero!

Click Here To See Our Newly Listed Listings of Comics, Graphic Novels, Promo Comics and other Pop Culture items listed for sale!

An Early Poster For The Film Before It Was Rescheduled

We've been asked... As to why we haven't posted our thoughts on the latest Star Trek Film.  Well, although I have all the Star Trek Films on tape, watched most of the multiple TV series, and went to the Star Trek Experience in Las Vegas... I don't consider myself an expert on the Franchise.  Additionally, Tina just hasn't been that much of a Trek Fan of any of the series or films, believe it or not!  Even with the name of her company the way it is...!

Yet, after several emails and messages to us asking about where's our 'review'?, I've decided we should post our thoughts on this 'reboot' film.   First, we are both fans of JJ Abrams works, including 'Alias' and 'Lost'.  Secondly I usually don't like 'reboots' or re-imagining of series or characters that I've been reading or watching for quite a while...


That being said, I don't see how anyone else could have been recast as 'Spock' other than Zachary Quinto!  I've said that since it was announced at the San Diego Comic Con International.  However, I promised Tina that she could use the Quinto as Spock photo below for her part of this blog, so here are my thoughts about the rest of the cast and the storyline first:

Click Here To See Our Listings of STAR TREK Comics, Graphic Novels, Promo Comics and other Pop Culture items listed for sale!  From the beginning of the film I was both amused and surprised at the changes as the two hours went on.  The storyline of course was changed because it involved time travel, and different paths taken for this new beginning.   One constant though was the great casting of several of the roles.  In particular for me, the roles of Bones McCoy, and Scotty! 

Karl Urban as Bones was there from the beginning and I could see how he would develope into the Bones that I enjoyed in ST: TOS.   Great casting here.

Simon Pegg as Scotty came in much later in the film, but his role was vital and true to the man that I enjoyed watching on TV.  Another great bit of casting here.

Anton Yelchin as Chekov had several funny lines, and several that weren't overly meant to be funny, but with the Russian accent it broke up some 'heavy' scenes.  Good casting here.

I enjoyed John Cho as Sulu.  The fencing bit was a good homage to the original Sulu.  Pretty good casting here.

Already mentioned Quinto as Spock.  The only thing topping him was Leonard Nimoy as Spock Prime!  Great scenes and casting (d'oh!) for both.

So that leaves Uhura and Kirk as the major characters not mentioned.  Zoe Saldana was reminiscent of Uhura could have been, I just didn't like the way her part was written in this film.  And try as I might, I just couldn't get Chris Pine as James T Kirk.  It might again have to do with the script, not Chris as Kirk per se, as I could glimmers of him as the Kirk I grew up with...

So, what would I give this film for a rating?  Well, it was a good story even though it changed the 'canon' of the Franchise.  It was worth the money we paid to see it at the Big Screen.  But the time travel which allowed the changing of the Star Trek that I grew up with kept me from giving it more than a Near Mint Minus (NM-) 9.2 out of a 10.0 scale.

~ Michael 

So as promised above, here's Tina POV: 

Star Trek: 9.0

That's my rating for the latest Star Trek movie.

What did I, the non-Trekkie, typical movie goer, like about it?

1.) The characters. The casting was superb. Using relative unknowns in most of the primary roles enabled us to enjoy the ride as the much-beloved characters developed.

Click Here To See Our Listings of STAR TREK Comics, Graphic Novels, Promo Comics and other Pop Culture items listed for sale!   Maybe it was, like a key element of the storyline, "cheating" but casting Zachary Quinto as Spock gave the character an edginess the original Spock never had.  I kept wondering if he was going to explode (or carve through someone's forehead) which made it doubly fun when he finally did (explode, that is). Here is a Spock who truly behaves like a half-Human/half-Vulvan.

Standouts for me: Bones, Uhura and Spock. Special kudos to Chris Pine for making me appreciate Kirk for the first time. While I love Shatner's later, self-deprecating work, I could never stomach him as Kirk. Pine's brand of ego-mania was much more tolerable, to say nothing of how the antics of the story kept knocking him down to size. I enjoyed how, instead of winning the bar fight, he got the crap beat out of him. His comic turn with Bones had our audience in stitches.

2.) The heart of the story. From the opening scene when Kirk the elder sacrifices himself so his wife, newborn son and crew can live, to Uhura comforting Spock, to Leonard Nimoy telling young Kirk that he'd just lost his planet, this Star Trek kept the emotions in play throughout.

3.) The sheer fun of hearing "wessels", "wulcan", "Bones" "g__dammit I'm just a man!" and seeing Leonard Nimoy flash the Vulcan greeting once again!

What didn't I like?

1.) Time travel - at some point the permutations of the implications of a time travel situation just exhaust me. (Yet, I'm still hooked on LOST TV Show - go figure!)

2.) Space. It looks like space. No one can hear you scream. And, if there's no people in it, it ain't interesting.

3.) Space ships. see #2 above.

J.J. Abrams' Star Trek is good summer fun!

Partway through this Memorial Day Weekend...  And I am taking the time to see what is coming up in the way of Comic Cons & Shows in the near future.

The Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art, (MoCCA), announced a short time ago that the MoCCA Festival 2009 will be held June 6th & 7th at the 69th Regiment Armory at Lexington Avenue and 25th Street in New York City.

Besides hearing good reports from Facebook Friends, I see that the Village Voice calls the MoCCA Festival ""the best small-press nexus (anywhere!)". Plus MoCCA itself says that this year's Festival is  "Now BIGGER than ever!".

So if you are in the area during during that time, prepare for an incredible weekend of comic and cartoon art exhibitors, panels, lectures, sketches, autographs, and more!

So Where Is It?

Terminator Salvation

Reboots the Franchise in a Wild Ride!


Click Here To See Our Newly Listed Listings of Comics, Graphic Novels, Promo Comics and other Pop Culture items listed for sale!

As Guest Blogged By Tina Hamersky - From A Woman's POV

Terminator Salvation... takes you on an action-packed ride from the desperate world of the Resistance straight into the inner workings of Skynet.

You'll enjoy hearing famous lines from the previous
films, laugh at a surprise "cameo" and marvel at this new generation of machines.
 

Click Here To See Our Newly Listed Listings of Comics, Graphic Novels, Promo Comics and other Pop Culture items listed for sale!  It's fun to see the young Kyle Reese in his muffled get-up foiling terminators with a mute side kick. Made me think of young Luke Skywalker! Not sure if that's good or bad!

The machines are fascinating - some seem surprisingly easy to kill; others are insidious and nasty. As always, there's always one that just refuses to die! My favorite new machines - those crazy snake-like creatures in the river!

Click Here To See Our Martial Arts Listings of Comics, Graphic Novels, Promo Comics and other Pop Culture items listed for sale!  Sam Worthington steals Christian Bale's thunder in the plum role of Marcus Howard. Is he human? Is he machine? Well, a litte of both. He's a death row inmate reincarnated as a machine. Worthington is great - conflicted and bad-ass like all good action heroes.

Bale, on the other hand, struggles with the thankless role of savior JOhn Connor. Like most women, I like Bale. Every women I told that I was going to see the new Terminator movie told me the same exact thing: "I like Christian Bale." Translation: "He's hot, I'll watch him in anything." Well, ladies, here's your chance to prove it. There's not a lot to love here. He's dirty and scruffy. If he's not kicking metal butt - rather unconvincingly, I might add, he's giving an uninspiring speech over the short wave to rally the troops or listening endlessly to his mother's taped messages - yikes! Those were boring enough in the first movie.

In the previous movies, John Connor is always asking: "Why me? Why am I so special?"  In this movie, I'd hoped we'd get an answer. Unfortunately, we never see how John Connor becomes the savior of the human race.  Yes, he's the clear leader, people are listening to him, but why? How did he carve out this place for himself in human history? It's hard to see him as the leader when he's really just one guy who's extremely lucky and effective against the machines.  To me, he's not the savior, he's the Jack Bauer of 2018.

Think about it:

Bauer has a really bad day
Connor's had a really bad life

Bauer's got Chloe
Connor's got the best tech team in the Resistance

Bauer carries a man-purse of weapons
Connor always has a stash of weapons

Bauer can improvise grabbing anything handy to kill his enemy
Connor makes do with what's at hand at Skynet HQ

Bauer's partners always meet an unfortunate end
Connor's always the last man standing

Bauer's cell phone never fails
Connor's got a Sony!

Bauer's a slightly-built guy who always manages to beat the crap out of much-larger enemies
Connor's tiny compared to the machines he destroys sometimes in hand-to-hand combat

Bauer's always getting double-crossed
Connor's terminators get rebooted

Bauer's family is always being targeted
Connor's family - "You tried to kill my Mother before I was born. You killed my Father!"

Bauer's fate is uncertain at the end of his day
Connor's fate is uncertain at the end of T4

Thankfully, the movie is mostly action leaving us little time to wonder over the implausibility of it all. Don't fret yourself over silly details like where is the Resistance getting its endless supply of jet fuel, bullets, flares, weapons or aircraft?

Click Here To See Our Newly Listed Listings of Comics, Graphic Novels, Promo Comics and other Pop Culture items listed for sale!  Or, how does Connor's wife stay so fresh-faced and clean while she lives in an underground hovel?

Click Here To See Our Bad Girl Listings of Comics, Graphic Novels, Promo Comics and other Pop Culture items listed for sale!  And, don't get me started on Moon Bloodgood's hair. Apparently, the Resistance maintains an endless supply of high-quality hair products which are reserved for their female fighter pilots.

As a straight-out summer action flick, Terminator Salvation is fun and engaging. As a reboot to the Terminator franchise, it's an immense improvement over T3 - but anything would be. I give it an "8" on a scale of 1 to 10.
