Star Trek Reaction

Let me preface with this. I love Star Trek. I’ve seen most of the original series, this movie as well as Wrath of Khan and if I stop procrastinating, I’ll get to TNG and DS9, as well as the other movies. I watched this one a while ago when my teacher lent me her VCR set of all the movies. Sadly I was only able to get to this one, cause procrastination is a major problem, man. Summary Time: When a huge alien spacecraft/space cloud that destroys everything in its way begins to rapidly approach the Earth, Admiral Kirk takes control of the Starship Enterprise once more to try and stop the space cloud, an artificial intelligence known as V-Ger, with help from the old crew. I must say, watching the VCR really enhanced the experience for me, it …show more content…

As I was watching it got to the point where I got tired of pretty colors in space and triumphant music that I would skip ahead about 4 minutes to where we had actual characters speak actual lines in an actual scene. As for what I liked, I adore the characters, it’s the old gang back again, but on the silver screen! The plot was interesting enough when you could get through the filler, and I have to admit, after being so used to the effects that a low budget 60′s sci-fi could offer, these special effects were pretty impressive. But please, some moderation! I liked it okay, despite all the things wrong with it. But really, I could only watch it once, and even then I had to fast forward through some of it. I might watch it again if I ever do a Star Trek movie marathon, but it’s not something I’ll actively seek out for entertainment. And if it wasn’t Star Trek, with my favorite and beloved characters, I would have never given this movie a second thought. If you’re a Star Trek fan, you should watch it, although you probably already have. If you really like sci-fi, maybe check it out, but keep your finger on the fast forward button. Or just keep fast forwarding until you make it to the second movie and enjoy

10 Cloverfield Lane is an intense sci-fi thrill. Before going to see this film, I already had an idea in my head of how the film would be. I saw the first one and I was completely disappointed with the entire film. After learning that J.J. Abrams would be the producer of this film, it raised both my excitement and expectation of the film. The combination of the acting, special effects, and sounds completely made this movie better than I could've imagined.

Being totally honest, this plot sounds like utter nonsense, but that's the beauty of it. The movie knows it doesn't make sense and plays off of that constantly. There's a plot device they use, called the improbability drive, which literally makes random stuff happen. That's it's purpose, and it's hilarious. A level of self-awareness, although not necessary for a space opera, is certainly helpful in mitigating some of the more ridiculing aspects of the genre.

Sontag claims that sci-fi films do not contain horror. In fact, she states that “ suspense, shock, surprises are mostly abjured in favor of a steady inexorable plot. Science fiction films invite a dispassionate, aesthetic view of destruction and violence--a technological view” (332). In other words, science fiction films, only contain

The shortest length has Arrival with a running time of 117 minutes. Space Odyssey has a running time of 143 minutes, and Interstellar is the longest of the three with a running time of 162 minutes. Although Interstellar has a longer running time than Space Odyssey Kubrick’s film seems longer. This is caused by its protracted scenes (that often have no dialogue). Kubrick tries to build up tension by taking time.

The latter part of the 1960’s saw the beginnings of the contemporary feminist movement. However major progression of this movement was still years off as it was opposed by the backwards reactionary ideas that defined the time. The attitudes towards women in Star Trek were meant to be very progressive from the get go. The circumstances of the time however did not allow the progressive attitude that the women of the series were full equals to their male counterparts and instead only allow the series to embody the status quo of women and their role during the 1960’s. Star Trek backed down on their unique opportunity to have women play characters in a position of authority and instead opted for the traditional female characters of the time, simply reaffirming traditional roles of women during the 1960’s.
