Booche Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 Yup, I cant wait. These early reviews are outstanding and I am doing my best to stay completely away from the plot. I skim to the bottom paragraph and give a peek, looking for some kind of score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 I had wood a while ago... but I wouldn't take That fat bastard harry's word for it... I gave up on his reviews YEARS agoI did too, but I like his enthusiasm. I like some of the other reviewers on the site though. Harry has turned into an online geek version of the post-talking Roger Ebert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See it in Blu-Ray - there's a new cut out there. The next best film is VI, with Christopher Plumber as a Shakespeare-quoting Klingon villain. IV is dated and pretty terrible and III is ok.

Most of the films are total crap which is why I am very excited with this early buzz. QUOTED FOR TRUTHI absolutely love this from Harry's review:There’s a moment during the attack on the KELVIN at the beginning of the film, where you’re on some anonymous deck of the KELVIN when a torpedo smashes into the hull creating a vacuum. It’s sound and fury – and we track along through the fury with a crew lady as she’s sucked out into the vacuum of space… And suddenly – it is silent – but you’re seeing explosions and phaser fire and torpedoes ripping away at the ship – and it is silent – and the science GEEK in me died of happiness a bit.
