My friends and I know of Vic Mignogna through his other work as a voice actor.  While he's talented, he's known to be a tad bit arrogant.  So, with that in mind, we watched it together and critiqued his. EVERY. move. It's pretty clearly a vanity project; look at how Kirk always gets the last word.

 

Very good point, and sad to hear.

I gotta say, I really enjoyed Star Trek Continues E01. The acting and lighting were decent, unlike New Voyages/Phase Two. The story was actually pretty great and engaging, which surprised me (another common fan production problem). They did some of the same stupid stuff that fan productions always do (using TOS actors, using Uhura's first name), but despite that it turned out okay.

And I rather liked Bones.

With the rumors circulating about Enterprise getting revived ala Arrested Development...

WHOA! Don't scare me like that.

1. Pretty sure this was nothing more than some fan saying "Wouldn't it be great?!" instead of anything actually substantive or realistic.

2. Oh calm down Enterprise was good.

What single (Non-SW) movie from the last 30 odd years has come closest to the spirit of Star Wars?... and why?

Over saturated visual eye-sore like films like 'The Kings Speech', 'Skyfall' etc will date very quickly.

I certainly hope "films with more than two colors" isn't a description used in history books to describe how films from the latter twentieth century are visually unique...

Here's something I made,

The top two screenshots are from 2012's cutting edge digitally graded 'Skyfall, the bottom two are from colour-tinted silent films made almost 100 years ago when film was in it's infancy:

...or is that the other way around?

Let's hope films start looking like this again, sooner rather than later:

Also I did this GODFATHER 2013!!:

OH Yes! It's sooo much better!

(Rant over)

Okay.

Ah, gotcha. Not sure how I misread that.

But seriously, Insurrection and Nemesis are both far better than the J. J. stuff. Insurrection actually has a story, which is something I noticed movies don't necessarily have to have anymore. Nemesis had somethings I liked about it, more I didn't, you're not missing anything.

As a person who watched part of Insurrection, I remain unconvinced.
