Saw it last night. Couldn't make sense of certain aspects of it until I realized they're telling the 9/11 truther plot that Bush planned everything. (Spoilers ahead with plot details revealed)
And just so they can show how "clever" they were, they even put a dedication to the post-9/11 veterans. (To make sure you get the point).
The first half of the movie is fairly decent but the last half goes off the rails into trutherism and the plot is just as nonsensical. That's the first time I've ever walked out of a Star Trek movie thoroughly disgusted (and I saw Nemesis...)
Sci-Fi ping.
The libtards who believe the 9/11 Troofer mess also believe that government is always good and should grow exponentially. I wonder what color the sky is in their world.
I heard that Gene Roddenberry was turning over in his grave.
Sounds like a pretty standard plot theme going back some 50 years.
Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
I have the sci-fi ping, Kevin Davis is no longer doing it.
NO!!!! I was looking forward to this movie. I’m beyond disappointed.
Thanks for the info.
Sounds like Undiscovered Country
I didn’t like the last Star Trek Babies movie.
And I thought Nemesis was passable.
I had no intention of paying to see this one.
Why?
Just because someone watches a move and subscribes a sci-fi as political, instead of just entertainment....doesn’t mean you shouldn’t see it.
Remember, its fiction -sometimes a movie is just a movie.
Yeah, they had a “false flag” plot in Star Trek VI, didn’t they?
Movies are NEVER just “movies.” You’re kidding yourself if you think that. I have no idea if the critic of this movie is correct in this case, but every film has a message, sorry.
And sometimes they're not....Goebbels and Eisenstein certainly didn't think that a "movie is just a movie."
One of the actors (Benedict Cumberbatch) in it said it was a Bush/Cheney metaphor.
9/11 Truthers: Have any of them ever explained how George Bush Jr. could simultaneously be an evil genius who would make Machiavelli blush with envy, and a simpering West Texas moron? I cannot conceive of the latter being allowed by the US Air Force to fly supersonic jet interceptors or be capable of earning a Harvard MBA. And I never observed the kind of raw talent in him required for the former. I thought only Muslims were able to hold such contradictory and ravingly stupid ideas in their heads at the same time. But I guess I was wrong.
Right-o.
Then why the dedication to post-9/11 veterans?
Poppycock.
Why wasn't this done with the first of the "reboot" series? The connection exists.
Maybe the truthers can explain to me how a building can remain standing after it’s been cut in half by a jetliner. I think that is the real question here, not that the towers fell but how they stood for so long after being chopped in half.
Please. There is no need to explain. If you are talking to a 99%er libtard, then just asking that question makes you racist. If you are talking to a Paultard-style conspiracy phreak, then asking that question means you are just a statist. In either event, you are obviously a bad person and are to blame for this mess, though of course it (and everything else) is Bush's fault.
