The reverse of that post I've made a week ago...

Rules: pick one movie or series and explain why you actually enjoyed it despite the criticism.

For me: The JJ Abrams Star Trek movies, by far the best ST stuff ever made, I couldn't take seriously the original universe with the dated effects and stiff acting, same goes for NG... These movies did ST actually great looking and much more believable, not just the effects.

I didn't know people hated this movie. I think it's better than the new sand movie we got.

I really like the two news ones too!

I walked out after part 1 saying, “What did I learn in that movie that I didn’t learn in the first half of the other one?” I mean, the new one is nicer to look at, but the first 2 parts already out cover the 84 version in like 3x the run time!

Having read the books I feel like the 84 version was great for the first half and then they said "ah fuck we're out of time" and just cobbled together the second half

It went through serious development hell and producer interference.

However there's a fan edit with salvaged editing room floor footage. "Sand diver's edit" or something. It's amazing.

Hey thanks I'll have to check that out!

[–] d00phy@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

Thanks for that. I’ll look for it.

The Lynch movie is what the characters will always look like in my head. I liked the Syfy miniseries too (which I watched shortly after reading the books). And I also like the new movies.

I thought most people loved that garbage.

[–] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 3 points 5 days ago

And how!

It's glorious garbage.
