    JJ Abrams lens flares, high-tech action, one-of-a-kind shaky cam, purgatory theory, "Mystery box"... And so one.
    And he thought he had no individual style. :D

    JJ, we're looking forward to star wars episode 7, do a stellar job!!

    Who cares if you don't have a style. That's the best part! That in itself is a style! I don't have a style, and that allows me to make anything I want. It allows for a greater creative diversity.

    I also think the warp nacelles being considerably bigger than the rest of the ship was also a way of bring a bit of believability to the universe - it's easier to by into the engines having enough power to take a ship from 0 to several times the speed of light in a hundredth of a second when they take up most of the design.

    I just love listening to his interviews, great work. I wonder if he and Nimoy talked about Mission Impossible on the Star Trek set. Funny how he adapted two of Nimoy's tv shows for the big screen.
    I definitely think Abrams has a distinct, energetic style.

    The special effects in Star Trek were first class indeed, maybe even largely due to the lensflares.
    Although I am normally opposed to artificial lensflares, but I must admit it made Star Trek look very unique and in a certain way...shiny.

    Firstly, lensflares are not the only way to show a bright and shiny future. For example in Steven Spielbergs films about the future he used the Bleach Bypass Technique and it made everything look shiny even tho there wasn't anything really shiny. Lensflares are fine but they become a pain if they fill 2/3 of the screen every 2 seconds.

  • @monsterproductions27

    Interviewers need to ask JJ about the Cloverfield sequel more so he gets the hint that we want a sequel soon.

    I would go gay for JJ Abrams I love him that much.

  • @Raymint
    @Raymint 15 лет назад

    That's fine but now knowing that the lens flares weren't really random (that they even took on a bit of a satirical note), that as a style of cinematography worked for giving the special effects shots alot of depth ... would you consider changing your mind?

  • @Definrox

    I saw this film and thought it was great that said however, i really hope that when (not if) a sequal is produced, the same amount of enthusiasm and passion (as well as a good quality script and high production values) are retained as so often films fall flat because the audiences expectations are not met.
    I just wish i was in the chair explaining how i directed my star trek movie *sigh* we can all dream

  • @Zazwaz
    @Zazwaz 15 лет назад

    Just as a matter of interest, what did you think of the Spock/Uhura love interest?

  • @Raymint
    @Raymint 15 лет назад

    He only did that once. And it was hugely appropriate too.

    Did JJ work on Felicity too? Wow what all has he done?!

  • @Raymint
    @Raymint 15 лет назад

    And? ... You're complaining for the sake of complaining - and that apple store joke is tired, and kind of JJ's intention anyway.
    JJ Abrams' lens flares elucidated the idea that that future is so bright and shiny (of course - Star Trek is utopia in a bottle) it can barely be contained in the frame. It was a stylistic choice that worked so brilliantly well it became one of the reasons why this film was so terrifically enjoyable. It reflected the central theme of the film.

  • @Raymint
    @Raymint 15 лет назад

    I also don't believe that everywhere else in the Enterprise looked like a factory floor. I think very good attention to detail had the filmmakers design the bridge of the ship to look far better than everywhere else as a means of creating a certain level of verisimilitude and believability to the universe - I mean why make the inner workings of the ship look as good as the brigde, it just wouldn't give the sense that people where doing much down there.

  • @Zazwaz
    @Zazwaz 15 лет назад

    He could still have cut back on them a bit. You probably also think that Karl urban was good as Bones. As for the bleach bypass,
    As for the BB, your right it. doesn't really fit Star Trek. But as a visual style in general I prefer it to random lensflares.

  • @enuvune
    @enuvune 15 лет назад

    i hope there's a felicity reference in it.

  • @Raymint
    @Raymint 15 лет назад

    Well Tom Cruise didn't rape it, John Woo did.
    I didn't say lens flares were the only way but that Bleach Bypass Technique doesn't make things look shiny and bright, it makes things look cold and sterile. Does cold and sterile fit Star Trek?
    I also disagree with the suggestion that JJ had lens flares filling the frame at every opportunity as you'd only really catch them on the Enterprises bridge, when things explode and when they're out in daylight ... and maybe when it just looked cool.

  • @Raymint
    @Raymint 15 лет назад

    Really? I mean there are so many ways to validate their relationship and I don't know what this means to you but JJ did say that he felt it'd be best to go down a more comedic route with this as Star Trek has been parodied so many times, taking it straight faced and seriously this time round may just hurt it.
    And for all we know they could have been together in the past anyway.

  • @Zazwaz
    @Zazwaz 15 лет назад

    That's the problem a lot of actors face after doing a long running tv show or movie series. People don't cast them because they stick out and the audaince only recognize them as 'him' from 'whatsitsname'.

  • @alekswhite1655

    I'm not even arguing anymore I'm just pointing out the things i didn't like about the film and why I didn't like them. I grew tired of this argument the moment I walked into D9 yesterday.

    Yeah, got the DVD of Cloverfield, such a freakin awesome movie
    Love MI3 and especially Star Trek
    He is a wonderful wonderful talent

  • @Zazwaz
    @Zazwaz 15 лет назад

    He looked the part and he did the accent sort of right, but you could tell he wasn't really a southerner. Not like DeForrest Kelly. In my opinion, they should have taken Josh Hollowoy (Sawyer from LOST)

  • @Zazwaz
    @Zazwaz 15 лет назад

    Not really, all the lensflares made the bridge of the enterprise look like an applestore

  • @Raymint
    @Raymint 15 лет назад

    You sound like your finding random alternatives for the sake of validating your argument - Bleach Bypass would be stupid to even consider, why bother mention it?
    Accents? OK - was Anton Yelchin doing Russian? And Scotty's accent was even more questionable than it was in the series. He's from Aberdeen but what came out of his mouth was Aberdeen via Kilborn.
    But it was the same with the series - accents were intergalactic.

  • @yairzfax

    3:47 lens flare

  • @Zazwaz
    @Zazwaz 15 лет назад

    Well to be completely honest, Star Trek lost a lot of it's believability by the 3rd season of the original series. And after Rick Berman took over half way through TNG it just went straight down into silliness.
    In my opinion it was Rick Berman and his lot in charge that ultimately killed Star Trek. I can't tell you how relieved I am that JJ and Bad Robot are now in charge of the series' future.

    I have a question for Mr. Abrams, Why does your Star Trek movie suck?

  • @Zazwaz
    @Zazwaz 15 лет назад

    Secondly, making the bridge look like an applestore is fine, but seriously why did he make the rest of the ship look a grubby factory floor. Either have a gleaming Utopian ship or a grimy close quarters battleship. Not Both! Beside the point I really don't like the new Enterprise's design. The warp nacelles are way too big and make the whole thing look disproportionate.

    i know that lost has been on for a long time but its hard to believe that its coming to an end....such a great series!
    but if it keeps on air i believe its gonna get fucked up and saturated!

  • @Raymint
    @Raymint 15 лет назад

    Karl Urban wasn't a real southerner. Is that it? so what about the rest of the Trekkies who think he out DeForrest Kellied DeForrest Kelly? Are they wrong?

  • @Raymint
    @Raymint 15 лет назад

    I think it's fine. George's death made Jim an asshole and he fucked up his chances with her at the bar - so it's an interesting and fun twist that makes sense.

  • @EliWanket

  • @Zazwaz

    I thought it was a bit unnecessary.

  • @Raymint
    @Raymint 15 лет назад

    What you didn't like that either?

  • @Zazwaz
    @Zazwaz 15 лет назад

    Thirdly, I'm not saying Star Trek is a bad film, Hell it's gotta be one of the best Star Trek films ever, certainly better than the TNG ones and probably my fav movie of 2009, although I haven't seen district 9 yet.
    And your arguments seem to imply htat I don't like JJ Abrams. On the contrary, he is one of my favorite directors. I'm a huge fan of lost, I loved Cloverfield, he even made me like Mission Impossible again after Tom Cruise raped it.

  • @Ulrna
    @Ulrna 12 лет назад

    really?
    he makes the same movie over and over, with different overlay.
    It's the same story with different characters

  • @Zazwaz
    @Zazwaz 15 лет назад

    JJ Abrams is a brilliant director. But the next fil mhe does he should
    keep away from the lensflares

  • @Raymint
    @Raymint 15 лет назад

    Jesus ... Boy listen, Josh Holloway would have stuck out like a sore thumb as "that guy from lost" - he's too CalvinKlein and I can't say leaves more of an impression than the rest of the LOST bunch.
    They probably did audition him and found that he didn't fit the part. Or he has work to do on LOST.
    As JJ said; casting was harder than usual on this one - and what that usually means is there's no one else on the planet who could do their jobs better.

    So JJ why not be like all the other white women and men racist producers out there and leave the black women off your set ,and quit trying to fool them in to thinking you actually want them there cause just like the other racist white women and men producers you dont do you ,do yourself a favor and just keep on hiring white girls ,the racist white public would love you for it
