It was weird, but while watching it, about 2/3 through, I asked myself "why don't I care about these people, they seem likeable enough?" But it was just so bang-bang-bang and even the character stuff was just rushed and shoved in. The plot holes were too big to ignore, the references to that other movie felt kinda

Like Star Trek, I worry about a movie whose basic concept is so illogical (I mean, giant robots to fight… anything… ever). Sure, it could be made to work with some creative handwaving and some cast charisma to spackle over the logic holes, but if they do that poorly… aye-yi-yi.

Saw Star Trek on Saturday and it really, really doesn't stand up to any post-viewing scrutiny. Or during-viewing scrutiny, really (whcih was probably why there was an action scene every 30 seconds and zero time to think about anything, because… yeah…). Went boom pretty well, though. Boom!

Do people still wear cut-offs? I remembr them being everywhere in the 70s, but over time, I see fewer and fewer.

Awww… we did bad.

"For the hundredth time, Jim, he's not a goldfish."
"I dunno; I'm still thinking 'maybe'…"

JFK, JFK, JFK… am I the only one who remembers the Maine?!

I get that that part was always there, but it was to me the least interesting part. In the first half, I could shunt it aside and ignore it in favor of the severe real-world issues the characters were going through - things I found compelling, interesting and memorable. But once they got set up in Boulder and Vegas,

Egads! It would appear that Superchunk is… off-Ballance!

More crappucino!

I'm not buying it. There'll be another Vegas.

That someone could get rich importing broccoli is amazing.

Clicking that link makes me think how cool it would be to have a rally mundane fetish like "women wearing pants" or "people using cellphones" or "men waiting in line in Starbucks". Sure, shaking one out in public could make people a little testy, but when you got that need, you wouldn't have to do sweat out finding it.

Sure. But some information is better than no information, and even a poor pilot should at least show the germs of what it could become.

I have a problem giving 1 or 5 stars for nearly anything; yeah it's bad, but is it the worst, or real close to worst? No, not really. Or yeah, pretty good, but…

I'd be happier if we could get about 60% more volume on that guy's hair.

"Nothing in the universe is as good as the version of this show that only exists in my mind?"

The stars on the cave paintings was a big clue that stupidity was a-comin', but until they actually get into the buried ship it was a good-looking, fine movie. But then it just got worse and worse until you're at the "who cares?" ending.
