Transformers 2 - It's good but could have been better. I can't really go into it without spoilers so I won't. I'd go again to see it in IMAX if the opportunity arose.

it could've been better. i read that there's supposed to be a longer fight scene in the imax theaters. kind of sucks that it should limited to imax only, but i'd still go see it

most people seem to love the opening of 'up' more than the rest

This is my new favorite movie.

Heh, speaking of Up, I was at the bar and witnessed Russ Meyer's Up!. It is a thing that's hard to describe with words.

Underworld: Rise of the Lycans. I kinda like these movies. Kicked back, simple, eye gore.

Fun movie. It was awesome in the theater, when the first Lycan got pinned to the wall with those huge spears. Everyone was like, "whoah!".

Lycans > Vampires

I'm not much into movies, except when dating

but I just realized AWAKENINGS is the best movie ever and THE ELEPHANT MAN is the saddest movie ever.

Who's seen the new Star Trek? I thought it was pretty fantastic. Some parts of the story were a little over-the-top, but whatever.

I liked it. I got really into it and then it just ended. I guess there will be a sequel.

I want to see Inglorious Basterds.

 

[zabu of nΩd]

Yeah, I also felt like the story ended rather abruptly. Would have been nice if it had taken a little longer to resolve.

I liked the new Star Trek movie a lot. It had an engaging storyline and good performances that reminded me of who they were supposed to be, but also were unique.

One thing I wished they had done was give a little more about the bad guy. It seemed like his motivation to destroy entire worlds was a little hastily explained. Also Eric Bana is probably the best actor in the movie.

Another thing that I and others have thought is that the movie isn't very Star Trekky. However this really isn't a criticism as the standard model of Star Trek has a lot of people talking about moral dilemmas which works better on TV instead of the movies. Star Trek V can tell you that.

 

[AchrisK]

I agree with the majority, the latest Start Trek was awesome!

Just watched Memento last night. What a trip. I am still confused.

Yeah, this one mainly revolved around Kirk and how awesome he is at everything.

The characters/acting seemed pretty vivid as far as Star Trek goes. I found that a nice change from the average dry/super-serious acting you get in most Star Trek stuff.

Star Trek has had some good acting in the past. Patrick Stewart and Avery Brooks are standouts imo
