I didn’t think Cloverfield was awful and Abrahms has given us Lost and Alias which I love. I’ve never seen the ST movies but the teaser did get me a little excited and now I might join your super geekdom and actually want ST.

Why is Cloverfield such huge thing that they are everywhere - heard, seen, even though movie is presently not releasing in India.

JJ Abrahms got good ideas, Lost, MI3, Alias. He didn’t direct cloverfeild, the who created felicty did. Thats why it was ok. JJ abrahms will probably do star trek justice. Although Star trek Sucks ass….

Cloverfield was a colossal waste of my $9. Extremely thin plot, disappointing monster and the camera work literally made me queasy. BIG disappointment!

I haven’t seen Cloverfield yet but I think one thing to keep in mind is the JJ Abrams only produced it - he didn’t direct it. I must admit I am a huge Lostie (a show which Abrams writes for occasionally and also produces) but I never really like Alias. The guy who DID direct Cloverfield has (with the exception of the Pallbearer - starring David Schwimmer & Gwyneth Paltrow back in 1996) only ever directed TV shows.

I personally thought the US forces were adequate - RPGs in minutes and tanks soon after.
I personally loved the movie - but each to their own though.

I do like the new Star Trek cast in that they look like I imagine they might have, but overall, I’m pretty sure that there isn’t a single person amongst it that has proven they have any ability to act. You combine that with the fact that they are supposed to be playing the most famous ST cast (I liked Kirk’s recklessness and rediculous space-macho attitude better than Picard’s quiet contemplativeness) and you have a disaster in the making.

Then you factor in the Odd Even Star Trek Movie Rule…and yeah, things aren’t looking good… :(

I’ve never seen the greatness in JJ Abrams work. He isn’t a hack by any means but he isn’t spectacular either. I had my reservations about Cloverfield since day one and from what you’ve said they were correct. I love the Star Trek universe but you have to admit the movies have been a hit or miss affair. He could very well make an excellent Star Trek film or try to reinvent the wheel and screw it all up. As the details begin to be released it should become pretty clear if he is going to screw up again.
