“My logic is uncertain, where my son is concerned.”
It’s so weird watching this movie again. I realize it is an odd-numbered movie, and as we all know, the best Star Trek movies are even-numbered. But I just cannot resist this silly movie. In spite of the generous helpings of melted cheese it ladles upon us.
I mean look at this guy’s hat. They took a baseball cap and put some foam dealybobs on it! That’s what they did! And don’t even talk to me about the console in the previous shot. It’s like they watched the prison break from that other franchise with the word “Star” in it and said, “How can we make that look cheaper? Quick! Somebody grab some old shoeboxes!”
“Don’t call me Tiny.”
But still, I love it. Look at this. I thought I might be able to bump a 3x3 about videogames that Kelly once did, but that was about videogames that got people killed, not just videogames in movies. Still, I love that they linger on this moment for as many seconds as they do…
The acting is bad, but I don’t care. I love little moments like this, when Kirk says, “How many fingers am I holding up?”
And McCoy responds with, “That’s not very damn funny.”
Also…look! Miguel Ferrer! Gone too soon. :(
As for the 3x3 choices, I was hoping for a cool facial reveal. There are two hood moments I love, Sarek in Kirk’s apartment, and this one:
And for a thing for stairs, because, you know, “Climb the steps, Jim…Climb the steps to Mount Seleya.”
Anyway, I love this goofy movie. When Uhura says, “Oh and Admiral…all my hopes.” Dangit. I hate how easy a cry I am at movies.
