In the spirit of alienating what little sci-fi/RPG fanbase I have, BUT in strict adherence to critical integrity, here goes.
Star Trek’s better.
I do like this, to a certain extent. I saw it when it first came out, at an age when it seemed like the most amazing and absolutely epic thing possible. Obviously it’s not nearly as enthralling now as when I was a tot, but I still enjoy it, and not (just) as nostalgia.
I love the somewhat Buddhist one-ness of “The Force”, the Butterfly Effect quote “Hold your fire. There are no life forms aboard”, and the (still, fairly) fun escapism.
Negatives: Vastly overrated, obviously dated, too cheezy, Mark Hamill.
Inspirational Quote: “We meet again at last.”
IQ2: “I find your lack of faith disturbing…”
Grade: B-
5/24/16: Hmmm. “Alienating”. That’s not bad. Grade: B-
