Star Trek movie reviews

Still great laugh.

The box is talking about Origional CORNFLAKES! That's what makes it funny.

Right, right!

[CX]

I know, but stuff like that is making all the Abrams fanboys that much more irritating.

[WarpGirl]

Oh come on you have to admit it's funny!

Cool, suggested wording on T-shirts:

Star Trek:
The original universe is
Not.Dead.



Vulcan:
Reports of its demise are illogical

That's kind of funny.

[WarpGirl]

Could somebody please explain to me...

SPOILER!!!:

How exactly Amanda Greyson died in the movie? I mean how did Checkov lose her transporter signal?

I cannot figure it out at all, and I've tried.

SPOILER!!!:

The planet was being destroyed. The surface she was standing on collapsed from beneath her. She fell. Earlier in the movie they made a big deal about how it's nearly impossible to lock onto people when they're in motion--remember the first transporter chief freaking out at people to hold still??

So Chekov tried but he just couldn't manage to keep the lock on her. He'd gotten lucky with Kirk and Sulu earlier, but there was just too much going on this time. Chekov is good, but Scotty is obviously the king of the impossible last-minute beam-out, and he hadn't joined the ship yet.

It's all pretty straight-forward.

Good answer, Aquarius! You should write some episode and movie reviews like KTR does.

[Aquarius]

I'll think about it!

[WarpGirl]

OK but....

SPOILER!!!:

He already HAD a lock on her, she was in the middle of the beam out, you saw the glimmering start.

[CX]

That's why they call things like that contrived.

[WarpGirl]

Oh come on CX you can do better than that! I know you hate Abrams and every little thing about the movie, but you could at least explain what happened!!!!

[CX]

Not really because it doesn't make any sense that

SPOILER!!!:

they can beam someone across the solar system but they can't beam a person who's in motion after they've already locked on to them. Technically we already saw things like that in ENT, which would've taken place before this movie, but it's painfully obvious this movie has nothing to do with the original franchise besides familiar names so we have to take things on their own merit with this movie. It also makes no sense that an equation would allow that super long range transport since something like that would depend on the equipment and its ability to do so, not some equation typed into the computer console. As for Amanda, she fell, and we're supposed to take it as that being what caused her death.
