Sure. OK, first and foremost, it felt like a remake of Star Wars. Incorporating the occasional “nod” is one thing, but droid carrying vital info, lonely protagonist on Sand Planet and worst of all, yet another planet-destroying plot device with subsequent attack comprised of lowering shield and then race through vital…

I think you’re completely correct about it fundamentally feeling like a Star Wars movie, and there were -as you say - some great things and some terrible things. However, the latter were quite significant for me...so many and of such size, that it did ultimately affect my enjoyment of the movie. In short, I expected…

Looks better than Star Trek: Beyond.

The Falcon belly-flops on the Snow Planet..?! Man, I just hope no one was in that lower laser turret at the time...

Airwolf - I know it’s been mentioned already, but I wrote an article on why the opening credits still gives me goose bumps even now...and the music by Sylvester Levay is still amazing... Article is here http://scottsnowden.net/blog/2015/08/2…

This montage was used to advertise a season Bond movies on Sky TV in the UK last year...and it’s still one of my favourites...

I have no issue with product placement in the Bond movies; there are billboards in real life, so it doesn’t hurt to see one in the movie. There are posters at train stations...and so on. But what really grinds my gears is when it’s about as subtle as having your brains smashed with a gold brick and complementary slice…

What, not the detail about getting head while hacking..? That’s the only bit I remember.

Half expect to see this one coming soon

How about you hear the door lock behind you as you carry out maintenance work inside of a giant vat full of tuna about to be boiled, knowing the start-up sequence is about to begin... [http://goo.gl/1suhHM] or you’re with dear friends at a WWII reunion riding on the front of a tank when it suddenly hits a bump and…

I hate the reboots, but without a doubt you’ve nailed it with this.

Since it’s unlikely I’ll get into a cinema on opening day - I live in NY and it’s going to be insane - I guess I’m just going to have to live offline, in a cave somewhere until I am able to get into a cinema.

I binge-watched the first series a while back and to begin with, it was excellent. Then after a while everyone just drank whisky and shagged.
