Uneccessary window-licking shine and characters' word-choices ruining a potentially tense-exciting desperation-action-drama

Rating: 6/10 (27 September 2015)

Had some similar writing of the kinds of reasons for characters' reasons , that made some of what the original series was to those that at the time ;...
( the 1970s and 1980s, mostly , a portrayal of how officers separated from local command will need or may need guile, etc compared to narrow command-direction structures used during the cold war , that had created fear about the volatility of plutonium-nuclear weapon escalations and the readiness to use, etc ) ... that at times seemed mostly character based and not in-between scenes , or scene-setting/transitory/etc , of which there was some of what could've been wanted by star trek fans of old , BUT ;
How this movie looked however, what it used in terms of stylings ;
recalcitrant/indolent repetitions / saturations of kinds of military-action -preperation kind of to-be-building-excitement but also simultaneously reinforcing things like images of generals in camouflage boots and unnecessarily tight baseball caps ... yawwwnnn , it ALSO, had , of , and unnecessary things thrown in such as Iron-man merchandising similarities , or , the zoomed in two faces on either side of the screen quick, urgent debate / don't argue-with-me type militarizations or argument in Washington absurdities ... quite poor , relatively.
Star trek had more of a widening people's perceptions outside the theater , despite still being in it , kind of base of cinematography and scope ... OK, that's changed , for the better, i agree , but if going to be making a remake , that cannot be replaced by two-face argument over direction.
The world is waiting for you to change , team America , you are already the butt of many a joke as the elder Brady bunch sister of your own demises ... don't try to pretend its going to lead others. its not.
as we get better at understanding the past , your productions are going to look as bland and manufactured as anti-communist absurdities of previous generations , yet without such a relatively unifying force to fight against.
yes, we have enemies still , but trying to constantly portray disobeying orders as a kind of heroism , can create the very opposite of what you would be trying to create there.
but what do we get ... ? another USA military Americanism.
don't bother, if that p***** you off. wish i hadn't watched it.
I would imagine , these additional 'direction's , were due to director after director , or upon-advice after upon-advice , direct ION , both in quality , and quantity , although fortunately this did become separated somewhat from what the directors could not locate, since the scenes had moved beyond earth, and fortunately there was less to convolute with, but where was the continuity adviser ? the producer?
the producer's team might think itself somehow glorifying the series in some kind of context , but it doesn't last , like the SOUND of horns , compared to what they only MIGHT do , for the dead. Its emotion doesn't last , because people die , and the emotional effect upon their motivations , dies also. People can try to understand previous generations' reasons, but it is not the same.
Oh yeah , and a Blonde called Wallace and a CEO with Owl-like eye-sockets ?
Despite all these failings, not 'choices' , there were some not too ridiculous directions of the action , unlike in some more modern productions in absurd 'matching' of (ABSTRACT) martial arts movies/art , that is not meant to be merely characters only-human in a scene in a realism/near-realism , but in worlds with magic , etc , example, Kill Bill, Tomb Raider series , i.e. , mostly about flexible crotches and selling leather pants, or in the case of kill bill , Bananas , bottles of whiskey, and Paracetamol.
*phht*
there were also some less absurd at the start or absurd at the end parts in the middle , HOWEVER ; it
had a also clearly direction-interfered-with ending , in which several characters had dialogue they would not have had in the original series ... references to a god or gods in plural ? one can't be sure , including by the cynical wise-cracking doctor what's name , who said in the originals , "heaven help us" , or "heavens, Jim", or something , in this version , you-know-what singular ... *raised eyebrows* Kirk says, re-christening, instead of "despite having a new name" etc, etc .
not quite sure of the exact references , but basically a multiple combination hit upon your children's' and your own mind , completely out of place and unnecessary , out of setting , out of character for perhaps not Kirk who could be capitulative , but certainly the CHAOS-aware, doctor.
purpose ... ? i mighn't've finished my Psych degree yet , but i don't need to've.
clearly questionable / investigate-able reason for this conflagration of references , and clearly fascist, in terms of its intended effect upon the future - the reason to have, several hit you in a short, obviously edited, sequence.
Moot point ... the Russian , Checkov , did not have a 'God' reference ... hey , why not , team America ? what's happening in the Crimea too revealing again ? the various crimes committed VIA Turkey , too inconsistent with who the PEOPLE of Turkey , are and aren't prepared to die for ? We remember the cold war.
How un- orthodox.
are we to choose an ally / enemy of an enemy that does 'better' than the Russians when it comes to religion , but at the same time suck this tripe down , and do little about Israel as it stands/stood ? *bblllurrrghhh!!*
