Scotty's clinging for his life on the edge of a crumbling cliff. Later, he comes trotting into camp. There was a very conspicuous patch of bright pink moss next to Scotty's right hand that looked like it would offer more than enough purchase to wrench his wiry body over the lip. In fact, the moss looked so much like netting I actually thought they were bragging about how many fingers this Scotty has. Uhuru shows up someplace weird at a later point with no explanation. She's held under close watch by the bad guy and then in the next scene is wandering around on her own, or some such. Maybe she was wandering and then in the next scene is back next to the bad guy. It's been a while since I watched it but it jarred me and my wife. The bad guy was only keeping a close watch on Uhura because even after a hundred years of monsterism he could still recognize a foxy lady. I guess she slipped away in the commotion after he left to board his ship? Maybe he even let her go, unarmed into a free-fire zone; that would be in keeping with his survival of the fittest philosophy. During the battle at the outpost at the end, everyone at the station forgets teleporters exist. Why didn't they TP the bad guys straight into the brig as soon as they get into range? They couldn't get a transporter lock because there was too much interference from the high-frequency signals the swarm ships used to coordinate. By the time they had everything figured out, Commander Greg Grunberg had farted all over the transporter control chair and nobody wanted to sit in it. Literally defeating the enemy with ancient Beastie Boys rap like a high school skit. Four-hundred years ago, on the planet Earth, workers who felt their livelihood threatened by automation flung their wooden shoes, called sabo, into the machines to stop them. Hence the word: sabotage. If nothing else, the terrible JJ Abrams reboot established Kirk knows his classics, so we could all enjoy the wry smile that crept across his face when he realized what a dramatically appropriate song had been selected. Someone had to have taken notes through at least two whole Star Trek movies to put those pieces together. I don't know what kind of genius magnetic all-Asians high school you went to, but at mine wrecking the curve like that would get you shot. All in all I thought it was a fun colorful movie but there's lots of dumbness baked in there. The colour grading was a bit much. |
