I am a huge J.J. Abrams fan. I thorougly enjoyed following the series Felicity, Alias, Heroes, and Lost. I enjoyed MI-3 so much that I purchased the DVD. I loved the Star Trek XI film and saw it twice at the movies. I also purchased the DVD from Amazon. I have been a Star Trek fan for almost 40 years and think J.J Abrams did a fantastic job on the reboot of the franchise. The cast was absolutely brilliant.
What does J.J. Abrams have to do with Heroes?
I must thank mr. J.J. Abrams for doing smart tv these days where we’re filled with brainless shows like 90210 and reality crap. Thank you mr. Abrams!
I love LOST but hate everything else on this guy’s resume (okay, Alias had its moments). Interesting to learn he doesn’t really take credit for it. Now I can say I can’t stand his work with confidence! Sweet!
I’m as hard core a Trekkie as they come and must say that Abrams nailed it with Tek XI. He took a franchise at a crossroads and made the right turn. I hope Oscar voters remember what he accomplished at nomination time.
Abrams did justice to Star Trek. LOST is just the best, especially Season 5. It’s great that he gives credit to others. I mean, he ain’t doin’ it all.
I hated the Star Trek reboot. The whole movie just served to explain itself. And that mind meld/flasback/montage that explained the set-up has to be one of the most shameful pieces of film making I’ve ever seen. (And, am I really expected to buy that Kirk, on being jettisoned from Enterprise, just happens to land on Vulcan’s moon (any Trek fan will tell you Vulcan HAS NO MOON) a kilometer away from the old Spock… who just happens to live in a cave a kilometer away from Scotty? It’s like a 12 year old wrote that script!)
Lost rocks, but as J.J. points out, that’s because he’s not really involved in it. I know Damon Lindelof was involved in writing Trek too, I may never forgive him for it.
The effects looked nice though. (Except for the stupid 2D singularity.)
Oh yeah, and are we really supposed to buy that the engineering section of Enterprise is a big brewery full of tanks and VALVES? And don’t even get me started on the Scotty in the water tube thing…
I am glad that Lloyd Braun found work after his nervous break down and working as a computer salesman for Frank Costanza
I don’t like alot of how the new Trek film made things work (Kirk-old Spock-Scotty as mentioned before), however it did need a reboot to keep it alive and as much as I hate time paradoxes, it has allowed that to happen now. Aside from the plot line jumps, I really did like the movie.
This movie took me the edge of my seat great job JJ keep it up
Alias was the best TV show ever!! I have not and will not watch any ABC show unless they bring it back. Alias is JJ’s Sgt. Pepper. He may do other good stuff, but like the Beatles never topped Pepper, he will never top Alias. Bring it back with the original cast and new adventures. The ensemble is large enough that they could still have time off to do other TV and movies as well as Alias. Or has Jennifer Garner become too soft and flabby to still be the tough fighting Sydney we all loved?
