Opening weekend box office exceeded the total gross of the last Star Trek movie, so by that standard, it’s pure gold for the studio.
As for the points - engineering being put in charge of someone who just stepped on the ship, to the point that he’s given the codes and control to eject the power sources for the ship? Just as unbelievable as the rest.
But that’s because it’s a fantasy movie, filled with loads of things we don’t have, like matter transporters, faster than light ships. You might have easily made the complaint that the ships were being built on the surface of Earth, rather than in orbit where the massive space station is.
As for loudness, certainly didn’t have that problem in the theater we went to; I’d strongly suggest talking to the manager next time about the audio level. Kids in the booth tend to turn it way up, rather than following the instructions they’re given.
I’m sorry you had a bad experience, but it really seems to me that you went into this expecting trash, and found it. Then again, Wolverine came across very much the same to me.
The only problem I had with Wolverine was its timing...If I could change the time line it would have been Wolverine origins first...the the Xmen series! Otherwise the Wolverine “stand alone complex”(to borrow from Ghost in the Shell) would have worked better proceeding from the time he left the Xmen compound in search of his past.
Still I thought the Wolverine movie was very well done and very well played with good strong performances all the way through!
Haven’t seen the movie. However, “But that’s because it’s a fantasy movie”...
As a rule, it is MORE important for a fantasy to keep realistic where it can so that the audience will relate to it as a real story. Just tossing sanity out whenever it is inconvenient is a classic sign of truly bad fantasy.
I was planning on going to see it, but if all the people who like it consider “Lost” to be great TV...
