Lord_Karsk Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 This will actually be good .

LukeSaberRattler Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 I don't know for sure if it is going to be that great but JJ can make a good action movie. However the science in his movies so far hasn't been great. Look at the new Star Trek great action scenes and setups but the science in that movie was god awful. I mean everyone knows you can watch a planet get sucked into a black hole from another planet not even in the same solar system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldVengeance Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 (edited) Oh no... It wasn't just the science in the Star Trek film that was terrible. The plot itself was also awful, and half the time seemed there to contrive weak excuses to have action scenes.

Wolfninjajedi Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 You need to be a director first and a fan second when it comes to making a movie from a huge franchise. I just hope Abrams fan side, won't overshadow his director side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, like how you can't actually see lasers in flight or dodge them, and hear anything in space. Or how crowded asteroid fields are, or how a beam of light has a set amount and is able to cut anything.... Great science. If you want science stay AWAY from Star Wars.

Abrams won't be writing this film only directing it. 2. he is really good at directing action so thats a plus 3. For Star Trek he refused to use CGI sets he would only use real world sets. Lets hope he does this as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did someone put something in your oatmeal this morning? At any rate in something like Star Wars there are scifi elements that have to be made up you know like lightsabers and lazer blasters. Then there are science elements like no oxygen in space or planets in other solar systems can't be seen with the naked eye like they are as close as the moon.

badlydrawnroy Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Until Abrams or a spokesperson for Abrams actually confirms this, all you have is a (usually reliable, admittedly) third party website, quoting an unnamed source. AND he's already denied it once before. It could still be true, but remember it's not official yet, it could be another Zack Snyder moment.

Monoth Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 (edited) Seriously? your worried about science inaccuracies?!? ALL Sci-Fi Movies have inaccuracies, who cares, except the .01% hard core nerd population who will complain about anything... The rebooted Star Trek Movie was IMO the best Star Trek movie made, with maybe the exception of Wrath of Khan... The rest of the star trek franchises while entertaining was one big cheese ball fest. I'm glad Abrams is the Director, means there might be hope that the movie will actually be good... The only movie that was decent was Empire Strikes Back, the rest of the movies were cheesy at best... Edited January 24, 2013 by Monoth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that Abrams can make a good action movie which is more of what Star Wars is at least to me anyway. I am not saying science failures make the movies horrible I still enjoyed the new Star Trek but those moments still make me cringe when they happen. And Undiscovered Country was better than reboot.

Chorgfrow Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Hopefully he'll avoid using time travel as a plot device like he did with Lost and the reboot. If he can manage that, I think we'll get a great new movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admaxster Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I can't stand J.J. Abrams as a director, and personally think this is a horrible choice. I have never liked a single one of his movies or T.V. shows, IMO he seems to use odd cinematics to distract from the fact that he can't direct, much like Michael Bay uses huge explosions for the same purpose. As to the fact that he is a huge Star Wars fan....so what, so am I, does that mean I could direct a Star Wars movie? I think not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TalonVII Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Well been confirmed, JJ will do the next star wars, hell even been shown on every major news. Hell if world news tonight was calling it and Diane Saywer was sayin it, and they got some good fact checkers, probably true. So get set kids, JJ Abhrams is going to do Star Wars 7. Hey i look at it this way, can't be ANY worse than Phantom Menace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drudenfusz Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I always said that I liked the last Star Trek movie so much, because it felt like a Star Wars movie should be. So I am excited to see J.J. Abrams actually directing Star Wars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
