Star Trek - 10/10

Honestly the best Trek movie ever! Everything was fantastic. Karl Urban IS Bones in this, and Simon Pegg as Scotty, what a great pick. Plan on going again this weekend it was that good!

Trek is back! well done J.J!!! :):clap:

Now am off to sleep as I need to get up at 7 :shocked:

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Terminator Salvation - 4/10

Despite Christian Bale playing has John Connor, and the film being action packed with the robots immediately causing deaths and scaring innocent souls ;).

I found the film pretty poorly organised, and didn't really feel the story line was exciting and worth watching.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

How have you managed to see this so early?

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say he saw The Terminator's, it was made by The Asylum...

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1350512/

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

My apologies, I must of watched the wrong one then :D.

I wondered why the characters seemed different, when I was checking the Imdb later.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Lifeforce - what can I say, it has a couple of interesting points [img]Download Failed (1)[/img]

3/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Star Trek - 9.5/10 (the missing .5 was Simon Pegg's accent).

I cried, I laughed, I whooped - go see it.

Some nice homages, and some excellent twists.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Karl Urban ;)



[LOTR's "Éomer"; Riddick's "Vaako"; Bourne's "Krill"; and the_guy_from_Doom_who_wasn't_The_Rock]

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Easy mistake to make :dunce:

His accent was mostly there. It did keep disappearing though.

I am going again tonight I enjoyed it that much.:)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

He got the phrasing right, just, as you say, the accent wandered a bit.

Still a great film, though.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Star Trek - 9/10 Very good, almost perfect. Was very impressed with the casting. I thought I wouldn't be able to get past Zachary Quinto playing Spock, thought he would be forever Sylar in my mind but I got past that within minutes. The guy who played Kirk was also spot on, I didn't think he would be but his manerisms where perfect. This film actually gave me the urge to re watch some classic TNG episodes (TOS is too cheesy for me I'm afraid), something I haven't done in a long time. I'm also going to re watch the original movies next week, I think It's been even longer since I have done that :D

Got Star Trek fever :)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Star Trek 10/10 brilliant and I have to see it again plus it is not a sequel or eeven really a prequel plus the casting is virtually spot on.

Go see it and be amazed.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Star Trek 10/10
Awesome movie, worth the numb bum we got.
I used to like Star Trek but to be honest you can only watch them so many times before you're bored, but after this movie it opens the doors to a whole new Star Trek, more episodes and movies. Looking forward to the next one.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Star Trek

Warp Factor 9.5/10

I bloody loved it. The cast were pretty much spot on (although Pegg's accent slipped at times), the effects were brilliant, & in general it rocked.

Plus plenty of nice touches that would bring a smile to anyone familiar with classic Star Trek.

A fresh take on Star Trek, a clean start, but still with reference to & respect for the original continuity.


The *only* thing which spoiled it for me was the stupid little kids talking & making noises throughout the screening, which is not the fault of the movie. Next time I go to a Vue, I'm paying the extra £1 for the over 18s screening.


It's effectively a reboot (like Bats, Bond, BSG), but one where the original continuity is still referenced.

But, yes, brilliant :D

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I've just seen it and it was ok. I'd say more like a 7 / 10 though.

I am going to see it again in a bigger screen on wednesday so that may help.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Valkyrie - 8/10 Manages to somehow keep the suspense even though you know the outcome from the start. Tom Cruise is well.. Tom Cruise but he carries off the part quite well.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Death Race - 7/10; good fun Saturday night with a bottle of Shiraz movie.

I like to think of it as The Shawshank Redemption with heavily armoured and weaponed cars :D

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The new Star Trek Movie - 2/10 (and the 2 points were for releasing a movie with Star Trek in the title)

It's Star Wreck, or Dawson's Trek, but it's not a trek film.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

It's the best Trek film ever released. 15/10
Finally they've beaten the curse of the odd numbers!

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Unfortunately Nemesis already did that by releasing a baaaaaaad even numbered movie ;)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Come on, it wasn't as bad as odd number ones ;)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

probably already mentioned but clint eastwood in gran torrino the best film i have seen in a long time
brilliant storyline and excellent acting alround 10/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Angels and Demons 5/10 - What went wrong? In my opinion the book of A&D was much better than Davinci Code. The movie unfortunately is not. I think that is probably because they barely followed the book at all and took far too many liberties with the story.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Hmmm, off to see that next week. I really enjoyed the book.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I think those who haven't read the book may enjoy it though those of us who have.... Not so much!!!

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I am going to see Angels and Demons today and will be interested to see how it compares to the book as well.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Star Trek, it had a 9/10 rating for me. The only thing that let it down was Simon Pegg as Scotty i thought it was horrendous.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I will give Angels and Demons 8/10 as they drifted away from the book but I know it was for editing purposes.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Resident Evil 1, 2, 3 - Hmm... 6/10 each perhaps. Although I enjoyed 2 & 3 more 'cos of Alice kicking ass.


Hellboy 2 - 8.5/10


Star Trek II: The Wrath of KHAAAAAAAN! - 9/10


Star Trek III: The Search for Spock - 7/10


Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home - 8/10




Ricardo Montalban's Khan is still the undisputed Best Trek Villain IMO.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

For the shockingly bad one where they save the whales, had you been drinking when you gave it that score:D:D:D

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Role Models - 5/10

Meh!

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

watched 'baby blues' last night, very disturbing film.

7/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I think it's great! :D

I have since watched...

Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country

9/10

Brilliant. Plummer & Warner are particularly excellent, as to be expected.


Next up will be First Contact at the weekend.

[The only "odd numbered" TOS-crew Trek movie I ever watch whenever I work my way through them is The Search for Spock, as it's not that bad & is needed to bridge II and IV. Motion Picture? No thanks. Final Frontier? UGH! And of the TNG-crew movies... I have no intention of ever watching Generations, Insurrection, or Nemesis ever again.]

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Voyage Home is great. I watched it again the other day. 7/10

It is by far a million times better than ST V. Now that was a big pile of poop

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

At least it is a Star Trek movie but I woul be hard pressed to give it more than 5/10 because it trys to hard to be politically correct:D

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Angels and Demons - 8/10.

Man did they rip the book to shreds! I guess in some ways they had to but they left out the first 100 or so pages and when 1 person went up in the helicopter instead of 2 I thought the were going to change the ending and finish the story there. Great twists and impressive scenery, not too happy they missed out the whole "science can co-exist with faith" part from the book but I definately enjoyed it.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I think had I not read the book I would have enjoyed it as well. I just found it too annoying and couldn't get past some of the changes like you obviously could. A Shame really :(

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

What I didn't like was the usual underlying pop at Christianity. Had they stuck to the book then it would have explained Dan Brown's original idea and removed a lot of the silly chliches from the film.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Star Trek: First Contact (DVD)

The only good TNG movie, IMO.

8.5/10



Equilibrium (Blu-ray Disc)

Awesome. Love the "Gun Kata".

9/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Mega Shark Vs Giant Octopus.

As expected; truely awful. But not even in a "so bad it's good" way as i'd hoped. 3/10.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I think I must be the only one who likes Generations then :)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I thought insurrection was quite good - if a little cheesey..

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I like them all apart from 5:(

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

TNG - The Next Generation. I know that I sound like a nerd, but part 5 was with Kirk ;)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Wolverine - 9/10. The 3-man fight on the chimney was mind-blowing. A few mistakes here and there, such as but still a brilliant film.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

In fairness, as someone pointed out on the Star Trek films blu ray box set, the talk of the odd number curse came about when Nicholas Meyer and Harve Bennet were working on the Even numbered ones. They wrote and/or directed/produced "The Wrath Of Kahn", "The Voyage Home" (which wasn't apparently liked by a lot of trekkies, but loved by mainstream audiences) and "The Undiscovered Country".

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I know this as I am a big trekkie and geek but I meant I like all the films apart from 5. I wasn't just refering to the TNG movies.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Angels and Demons - I thought it was a great film. I haven't read the book, but found the film thoroughly enjoyable. 8/10

Star Trek - I didn't think I'd like this film - but how wrong was I? Really enjoyed it. 8/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Star Trek, missus and I loved it 10/10, glad it lived up to hype and expectations.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Same here... :tu: Even better for those of us who watched the original series, :D

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The missus and I saw Sam Raimi's Drag Me to Hell this afternoon, both enjoyed it, It's pretty good 7/10.

it's very obviously a Sam Raimi horror film, so if you like Evil Dead you'll like this, it's kind of Exorcist meets Evils Dead Happy

Some nice ott gruesome bits, which then make you laugh due to other people's reactions etc.

The other thing I liked which was noticeable is that it's good to see a "horror" film with a proper orchestral score, very much like classic horror films, rather than just using some industrial/alternative/heavy metal.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I definitely want to see that - I love Raimi's horror movies.

My latest movie was one I unintentionally watched:

First Daughter

Mrs D had this on earlier, in the afternoon.

Predictable run-of-the-mill crap, starring Katie Holmes as the President's daughter, and "Riley from Buffy" as the undercover Secret Service agent she falls in love with.

Meh / 10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Hellboy II - 6.5/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Sounds like a proper chick flick,hence Meh/10 :D

HOWEVER..... directed by Forest Whitaker!! :shocked:

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Star Trek - I have never been a Trekkie, but I really enjoyed watching that film. 9/10.

Night at the Museam 2 - I enjoyed the first, and thoroughly enjoyed the second. 9/10.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Terminator Salvation - 6/10
So many plot holes, so much bad acting.
So much potential, wasted.
Seriously, it could have been a 10/10 film, but the details of the story and poor acting (someone please give Bale some lessons) let it down.
Great effects though, the Arnie scenes were well done.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Night at the Museum (1st one) recorded at the weekend from ch4, hadn't seen it before, missus and I both enjoyed it, funnier than we thought it would be 7/10.

If Ricky Gervais had been in it much more would have been 2/10! We love the Office and Extras, but wish Hollywood didn't have this obsession with crowbarring "the quirky wacky English funny guy" into films :(

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Red Cliff 1 & 2.
9/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I just got them also. Seeing as 1 is only just being advertised but is actually 2008. Didnt get a big release though but your score is promising.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Your score may well differ from mine.....although i`m sure it wont be too far off.It`s a ripping good yarn for sure.Probably better watched over a couple of days rather than the whole 5 hours or so in one sitting though.
5 hours is a bit much for any movie in one go.Plus,the anticipation of the whupping to come adds to the enjoyment,and mabey even the score;)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex 2nd Gig

9/10 - Just what you'd expect from the Ghost in the Shell series :)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Terminator Salvation - (7/10). Fantastic action amazing effects, all let down a bit by the poor story. However, since the Terminator series has always been a leave your brain at home deal thats pretty much what I expected so I came away pleased.

Night at the museum II - (-10/10). I really liked the first one but this was just pathetic. A sequel for the sake of being a sequel, another example of disney milking a cash cow and ruining it just like with the pirates of the Caribbean series.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

NATM2 was made by 20th Century Fox, not Disney.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Terminator Salvation 8/10 - Apart from a few plot holes its a great movie.

Night at the Museum 2 7/10 found it pretty funny and enjoyable. Good for a giggle.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Doesn't make a huge difference to what I said though, fox are just as guilty as disney for this sort of thing.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Terminator 9/10
(The missus and I like to watch prequals to a new film before we see it at the cinema, so we'll be watching 2 and 3 before the new one)
Even by today's, for the most part the Stan Winston models and effects look really good.
We really enjoyed it, stands up to the test of time.

What's funny is, is that some ppl getting annoyed with 3 and Salvation saying they're dumb action movies. I think some ppl need to remove their rose tinted glasses, as for the most part The Terminator is a good dumb action film with shootouts and car chases, nothing more nothing less :)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

terminator salvation --- was alright i guess. Like stephen says above they played fast and loose with some of the mythology but other than that its a good film

Thought Sam Worthington was good but Anton Yelchin was excellent



Really , really looking forward to "Public Enemies" with johny depp. Trailer looked awesome and michael mann knows what he's doing

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Terminator Salvation

Not sure what to score it. I enjoyed it, but IMO it's no T1 or T2.


Oldboy

Stop. Hammer time.

9/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Drag Me To Hell

6/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Christian Bale is in that too. I really like truth based stories and Dillinger was a proper gangster. I love Thomsons with the round drum too lol . Think the best thriller of the year could be The Taking of Pelham 123 with Densil Washington and John Travolta :)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I saw Drag Me to Hell yesterday. Grat film, had the entire audience jumping and making "urrrrrrrrrrrrghhh" noises at some of the scenes. Some really good shocks/jump out of your seats moments, as well as some really squeamish scenes. It reminded me a lot of Evil Dead 2, with some funny moments too. A very close to 9 out of 10 for me.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Terminator 2 - 9.5/10

I thought I preferred 1 to 2, but watching 1 yesterday and 2 today, I think 2 is better. again the special effects are still really good.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Ah the Chicago Typewriter :)
Did you know that the M42A pulse rifles in Aliens were Thompsons?

Talking of which:
Aliens - 10/10 So much suspense, action and story development.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

New Jack City - 8/10. I just love early 90s black culture films.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I think that one was an excellent movie. Great soundtrack too.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Finally got round to seeing Star Trek - absolutely superb. 10/10.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

We watched Terminator 3 last night 7/10. i think that's the first time I've seen it since saw it at the cinema, I didn't think it was quite as good as I remembered, but thought it was silly action packed fun none the less, apart from last 10 mins or so where it gets serious and depressing!

Not sure when we'll get round to seeing new one.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Drag Me To Hell - 8/10 - very good, back to his Three Stooges days. Entire audience where jumping and giggling. Guts me that they don't make me jump anymore, but then I aint 15 anymore.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Orphanage - 8/10 Great Spanish Horror Movie. I have not been so terrified of a movie in ages, creepy kids running around. Although by the end I was in tears.

Great rollercoaster of emotion!

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Vantage Point..... Not a bad film and cleverly done I thought. 8/10.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

2001 - Space Odyssey 1/10.

I seriously want the last 2 hours of my life back.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Knocked up - HHHmmm it was ok but not what I'd have normally watched. 5/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Terminator 4 : Salvation.

Um - I struggle to find much nice to say about it - 3/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Terminator 4 - 9/10, loved it ;)

Anyone else think that dark woman looked like Rebecca Loos?

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

If you mean the pilot, she was also in the TV series Day Break (which I really enjoyed) - like Groundhog, but with lots of violence.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Moon Bloodgood. I remember her from the short lived TV series "Journeyman".

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Moon Bloodgood?? That sounds like the result of one of those "take-your-pet's-name-and-your-mother's-maiden-name-to-create-your-pornstar-name" things :D

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Terminator : Salvation 9/10 a good action movie and a lot better than I thought after various reviews.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

'The Machinist' - strange film, but interesting..

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Hangover - 9/10 Don't think I've laughed so much through any other film.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Crank:High Voltage.

Like Crank, but without the subtlety.........

Good fun film.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Did not know that Jason Statham did subtle.:D:D

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Also, Ginger Spice is Chev's (JS) mum in this film.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Star Trek. Not that bad, 7/10 Live long and prosper!

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Transformers 2 - 9/10 - Absolutely brilliant, more of the same from the first movie but bigger and better. I went to see this at the midnight showing last night and the 3pm showing today.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Am thinking of going to see this tonight, would it be a bad idea? Because I haven't seen the first movie yet.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Terminator Salvation 8/10 missus and I enjoyed it as a no brainer action movie. When/if the 5th movie comes out, and I see this one again on the small screen, it's possible it will drop a point, like T3 did ;)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Komodo vs Cobra - 3/10

OK, I knew it wasn't gonna be great just by the title, but I couldn't be bothered to change the channel :D

Sci-fi channel is nearly catching up with Zone Horror for showing really bad films.

When will I learn my lesson :D maybe the next film will be good LOL

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Terminator Salvation 9/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Transformers Revenge of the fallen - 9/10

Amazing, so much action and a fairly decent story.
