Jose Oquendo posted:The older I get the more I think TMP is the best Trek movie. I agree it's the best one that encapsulates the ethos of the show, but 4 is basically a fun two-hour episode, since plenty were just the crew stuck in a weird primitive society. Also the joke of Scotty using the mouse just slays me. I like all 6 of the first movies, to some extent. Since this is a poster thread, here are the rest of those posters:

MikeJF posted:It absolutely kills me that the dramatic improvements of the director's cut never made it to blu-ray. Does the director's cut pick up the pace a bit? I mean, I know it's from a different time, but I have a hard time keeping interested for the first half of the film.

The problem with ST:TMP is that it is also a two hour episode of the show - with a single episode's worth of plot. Robert Wise was a great director, but when unkind reviewers referred to it as Star Trek: The Slow Motion Picture they weren't wrong.

Robert Wise was a great director, but when unkind reviewers referred to it as Star Trek: The Slow Motion Picture they weren't wrong. The sheer volume of filler really brings it down, and it does feel like it takes about 3 months before anything interesting or even actually plot-related happens. Like, the 2 Vulcans getting hosed up by the transporter malfunction is a memorable scene, but what's the points of it? Hell, does the movie actually lose anything if that got cut out? I doubt it. You can basically go out and get lunch and come back and hour later with that movie playing and not really miss anything essential to the plot. I mean, say what you will about the new Star Trek movies, but at least they get going in a more timely manner.

It's about five minutes longer than theatrical but it actually added something like 20 minutes of content, they just also tightened up every scene slightly. It vastly improves the pacing. It also fixes the colour balance and royally fucks the sound.

So, is Dead of Summer another zombie show or something?MikeJF posted:Did you ever watch the director's cut? It's about five minutes longer than theatrical but it actually added something like 20 minutes of content, they just also tightened up every scene slightly. It vastly improves the pacing. It's still an issue with the director's cut though. With the theatrical cut, it takes about what feels like 3 years before anything interesting happens. That overture at the start is totally gratuitous as well.

TMP's just a movie that isn't afraid to take its sweet time when it has something to show off. I dunno. It's kinda like Blade Runner; you've gotta get yourself in the mood for a slow journey first, turn up the bass, and relax.

I lot of older movies aren't as ADHD when it comes to setting the scene. I love Taxi Driver with a passion, but there are several scenes where the camera just sits there for minutes at a time while nothing really goes on. Modern movies and TV go from action to action to action so it can be incredibly jarring to watching something from a time where people weren't so rushed.

Maybe it's a summer camp massacre story that goes on all season. Edit: Holy poo poo, I was right... quote:It's the 1980s, school is out for the summer, and when Camp Clearwater's dark, ancient mythology awakens, what was supposed to be a summer of fun soon turns into one of unforgettable scares and evil at every turn.

Even with that though the new Star Trek movies are extremely fast paced. Even TFA suffers from this, or it might've been a side effect of mandating Star Wars had to be 2 hours long or whatever.

The first experience I had with steampunk was, I think, The Difference Engine by William Gibson way back in 1990. The premise was cool as hell, but good lord, did that book just fall apart in the final third and end up a piece of poo poo. But I was fascinated by the idea for quite a while until overweight nerds in top hats with gears glued to them finally killed it for me.

That's literally the book where the term steampunk comes from. computer parts posted:Even with that though the new Star Trek movies are extremely fast paced. You're forgetting how many of those movies are just boring as hell because they have literally nothing happening for long long stretches.

The bike is not nearly as silly as Prof's Minimalist Ikea Flying Chair. I'm guessing he either found it among the junk on a planet he's on, or it's an antique he brought with him on the Enterprise.

Guys, you could've saved a lot of money by just leaving out the CG and just showing Alexander Saarsgard prancing around nearly naked for an hour. All good with me.
