I even accused one EH fan of probably not knowing sci-fi very well... not a friendly attitude on my part.
I agree with you, EH had a nice cast, which helped the film along.
I mildly enjoyed the new Star Treks, as I agree with you, they didn't bother trying to be very original. What are the best 3-4 Star Trek films? |
Take Star Wars The Force Awakens, maybe you could say that George Lucas was bitter. But he did say that he did new things or had new planets with every movie. But James Cameron's comments were the most clear on that movie. He said something like he would wait for the sequel basically because The Force Awakens was a reboot / remake. We know what happened with the sequel when they attempted to subvert just about everything in The Force Awakens and made a movie that I'll never watch again. A movie that might be the worst Star Wars movie if not tied for the worst.
What are some of those TV shows and movies that Event Horizon rips off?
The best 3 to 4 Star Trek movies? Probably all the original crew movies. I've never seen the majority in theaters and want to see them on a big screen setup. I'm sure I would pick 1, 2, 3, and 4 (not in order of preference).

I spent the first half shouting at the TV 'Just go home' in an entertaining manner, but the films slips into a dark place I can't recall seeing before.
I would say more, but I'm not going to spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen it...since you should.

I recall not liking that one. It was one of those bad guys are the hero movies with the last shot I think. I'm sure I reviewed it here.
