This film gave me such a high pulse. Never seen anything like it. Plusses for fantastic title sequence.

What to say…. Should I mention the shouting drama performed by the really bad actors? The constant lack of steady-cam? Or the whiney “boohoo, what’s the rebels ever done for meeeeee”-scenes? Or maybe I should mention the horrible CGI – I’m certain I saw occlusion errors in some scenes. Speaking of CGI, I should probably gloss over the fact that Moff and Leia were CGI-characters. And let’s pretend to ignore the shitty dialogue, and the stereotypical table-top RPG-plot. And to even consider criticising the physics modeling would just be silly.
Oh, I know; Not as awful as Episode 2. Not quite as awful. Probably.
Oh, by the way, a happy bouncy announcy: this officially marks the (jump) start of 2017: The Year Of Weekly Cinema.
Trump willing, etc….

So… Me and my 8-year-old, we’ve seen all the Star Wars-flicks, and we’ve seen all the new star treks, and so, I thought it was about time he got inducted into proper trekdom.
I’d expected the original Trek-movie to look dated, but it doesn’t. It looks… vintage. And still, in a weird way, fresh. And I think I may know why: These old scifi-films have something the new ones lack: They’re filled with amazement. Wonders, even; Long dwelling shots of huge starships. People staring into the universe for 30 seconds, not saying a word, not explaining what’s going on in seven different ways. Mysteries that simply resolve to “huh… imagine that…”
The new ones, they’re all guns-ablazing. And maybe that’s the way it has to be. Pity.
