Also the lens flare was literally a guy with a mirror flashing light on the lens. They paid a guy to constantly find the precise angle at which to make every shot worse.
JJ Abrams btw.
His daughter being a nepo baby pop singer gets on my nerves way more than it should lol.
I’m still mad about what he did with Star Wars.
Should be noted that JJ is also a nepo baby.
I keep forgetting that both of his parents were TV producers. Does that make Gracie Abrams a nepo grandbaby?
There are so many nepo babies I’m convinced that anyone could become a proficient actor.
Keeping up the proud tradition of sticking a couple of lights on a salt shaker and calling it a medical scanner
lmfao they really just slapped the radiation symbol on a brewing tank using Adobe Ae
irl it should be a biohaz symbol tho. fuck Anheuser-Busch
(alright Stella is an ok beer but still fuck Anheuser-Busch)
is it a pauline kael line about so-called machete art? all edge and no point? except abrams is more like butterknife art.
That is a sonic urinal. It eliminates the need for water in urinals.
I’m curious why the engine room of the Enterprise would need 250 BBL tanks with sprayball and blowoff arms. Do dilithium crystals create CO2 blowoff? Do they leave residue in the tank that requires a CIP cycle?
The lens flair and dryers are dumb, but who cares if they used a brewery as a set? That’s actually a cool idea and super creative. Would like to see more stuff like that and less green screen slop in movies.
but who cares if they used a brewery as a set?
In a vacuum, I wouldn’t care if a SciFi show used a brewery as a set. But it does go against the Star Trek aesthetic. Federation vessels have a sleek, minimalist, orderly look. And I’m not complaining purely about them not sticking to the “original look” (though I’m also complaining about that). The appearance of Star Fleet vessels is meant to convey ideas about the Federation, they are scientific, efficient, inclusive and clean. Star Trek does this a lot actually, Klingon vessels are brutal and sharp because they’re a warrior culture, Vulcan ships are smooth and wavvy because they’re all a bunch of Zen philosophers. Using a big factory with bulky, dangerous looking equipment goes against the themes of the Federation.
Personally, the only engineering section of a starfleet/federation ship I ever liked was the NX-01 (the Enterprise in the 09 movie is a very close 2nd place), because it actually looks the most like a god damn engineering section of a ship instead of a room with consoles and a glowing tube in the middle of it.
Isn’t this supposed to be super early federation tho? Not arguing your main point which is good, but it’s forgivable to me.
Nah it’s Kirk, the aesthetic existed in the Original Series, though it was less refined, they didn’t get it down till Next Gen.
Honestly if they wanted to make a more gritty Trek they could have just looked to DS9.
I only know abt star trek from yall and from rlm, wasn’t ST ‘09 the one where Spock just beat the shit out of some guy lmao
that’s the sequel to '09, but yeah he beats the fuck outta Benedict Khanberbatch
