While the dialogue in the superbowl trailer is not as bad as i thought the film would be the acting is horrible. Lets hope that is not the selected takes, and they did more for the finished film. My god the dialogue whilenot horrible is as cheasetastic as the prequels of star wars. They had two options either write better dialogue and a better script or get good actors who can deliver these impossible to read lines.
Harrison Ford could pull it off in Star Wars. He said " George you can type this shit, but you sure as hell can't say it" Christopher Pine is no Harrison Ford, he is not even the caliber of a Hayden Christensen. He's an unknown element in this movie. Though he is not as bad as spocklar who i thought would work because i admired his acting on Heroes playing the villain, but he is awful. And that dude playing scotty is the worst of the lot. God knows how bad Sulu will sound and Chekov as we have not heard any dialogue from them yet. Mckoy is middle of the road not great but not awful. The villain voice work sounds completely phoned in and not compelling or terrifying at all.
Even Bruce Greenfield who i thought was awsome as Thomas Vale on the UPN series Nowhere Man sounds tired and uninterested. I don't blame him try acting against a greenscreen with nothing there. Thanks to the George Lucas style of directing films in the modern era are mostly souless.
I thought that in reviving Trek they would do away with the bad comic book villains, the cheaseball acting and technobable and give us a realized future. At least that is what JJ promised to deliver.
He promised no Galaxy Quest camp.
