Comments on: Is It Just Us Or Does J.J. Abrams ‘Star Trek’ Look Laughable? https://staging2.theplaylist.net/is-it-just-us-or-does-jj-abrams-star-20081017/ Sat, 07 Nov 2020 16:02:50 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.7.5 By: John https://staging2.theplaylist.net/is-it-just-us-or-does-jj-abrams-star-20081017/#comment-2279 Sat, 18 Oct 2008 16:39:00 +0000 http://theplaylist.wpengine.com/?p=9761#comment-2279 I think it will be good. My friend is working for Edgar Wright, Shaun of the Dead director. Wright was invited to watch a private screening by Abrams. Wright said it was good.

Too many haters on this site. Probably should hold judgment til after checking it out.

As much as Star Trek could’ve/should’ve been about anyone, recognizable characters (in theory) make it appealing to Trekkies and casual fans alike. It may not be pretty, but it’s truthful.

Incidentally, are Adam West (OG TV Batman) and William Shatner long lost brothers? they have the same fucked up speech pattern.
