J.J. Abrams' Star Trek (POTENTIAL SPOILERS)

[The Ween]

I thought it was funny, making fun of all the lens flaring in Abrams' Trek

I didn't understand why that was in there. What was the purpose of it?

I liked the lens flares. That in addition to the way the bridge was done made it feel.. new and warm I guess you could say.

The bridge was already very bright, having lens flares didn't really add to anything, other that to distract the eye to it.

It's future-y or something.

There ya go!

Although I thought it was funny that there were still lens flares inside the snow cave.

Yeah, the lens flare was EVERYWHERE it seemed...even in the bar. It didn't bother me really, only once or twice did I wish it would just stop..

 

[plasmid303]

You know they took the lens flare too far when it completely covers a character's face during a close-up.

 

[DinoLast]

I never really noticed any lens flare.
Now you guys have pointed it out, I will be looking for it all the time the next time I watch the movie.
Doh!

I didn't mind the lens flare. It's a JJ thing. It's on Fringe too. I like it, a visual signature, if you like. Artistic choice. Works for me

Oh, and i love the fact that the engine rooms in the film looked like breweries or oil refineries.... made the place look more real. Having an engine room be a corridor with some flashy lights at the end never looked real to me.... Vessels today have touch screens on the bridge and engine rooms that are more 'physical', so having the engine room set in a 'real' place with physical pipes and valves was one of the parts that I loved the most about it. I hope they keep that look for the second film.

Also helped with the sense of scale that these ships were huge.

 

[BadMoon]

Hey, I didn't make the thing! It's just a preview of the classic episode "Space Seed" with a ton of lens flare added.

Like others have posted. I really didn't notice it. I will have to go back and watch it again again.

Classic Trek Abrams style:

Wow, that is perfect.

 

[DinoLast]

I also want to mention that Anton Yelchin was brilliant as Checkov.
The accent was perfect, I guess it helps that he was born in Russia.

I noticed it in some of the trailers. It doesn't take from the movie, but it doesn't need to be there. But.....

it's a future-y thing! Good enough explanation.

 

[The Mike]

I did not notice Lens Flare. I guess I was too wrapped up in the movie itself.

 

[Reinhardt]

same with me.

 

[DinoLast]

I think the sequel should have Kirk learning how to fight.
The Shatner Kirk could kick Pine Kirk's ass at the moment
