Yesterday, AICN posted a negative review of what they claim is the script of the upcoming Star Trek prequel movie. But today, Star Trek movie writer Roberto Orci posted several comments on the TrekMovie and AICN talkback message boards about the AICN review.
"Yeah. AICN for some reason has never liked us." Orci wrote "The best example was one of their review for Transformers. I forgot which one of those wannabes wrote it, but it basically said how much they loved the humor, the characters, the sequences, and the structure of the movie, but they hated the script. Classic."
"If this movie works, these same folks will say that JJ "saved" a crappy script with his directing, just like Shia "saved' our dialogue by "making" it funny."
"Whoever wrote that piece HAS NOT read the script, and I would trust Nimoy to tell us if we know anything about the Trek universe over just about anybody else."
Regarding the spoiler in the review about the Enterprise and Area 51, Orci posted the following message at AICN board :
"Let's see. Area 51 is a place where we supposedly keep aliens and spacecraft A SECRET. In Star Trek, earth KNOWS there are spaceships and aliens. You might've even heard of one of them. His name is Mr. SPOCK. You do the math."
Later, Orci posted another message at AICN talkback message board regarding the negative controversy caused by the review "Controversy is good. This "review" lowering expectations is good. Bring it on. Maybe we'll put flames right on the side of the Enterprise just for fun."

Good for him. More film-makers should do the same.

breath and disappeared, my heart went cold, and
only hollow rhythms resounded from within.

Quote from TrekWeb:
Regarding the rumor that a AICN source has seen footage of the new redesigned U.S.S. Enterprise, Orci said at the AICN talkback
"If you watch the TV series and many of the movies than - if you are a Star Wars fan like me - you always have the feeling that there is a discrepancy between the size of the alien worlds / the space ship(s) of the Federation and the locations where most of the scenes have been shot. In other words, the Bridge is more like a living room and does not match the size nor style of gigantic size of the Enterprise at all. It is certainly unbelievable because it's mostly the only place we get to see (and of course three or four other places, but all in all just 1 percent of the ship, I presume)."
"We'll, this movie is gonna end all that for sure. The "stage play" and Disney like nature of the TV episodes is gone, the "we'll only show you three locations but trust me, this really is a gigantic spaceship we're flying around in"-feeling will also be gone."
?!?
Those are not Orci's words, that's a comment from an AICN source.
Orci's little pissing match with AICN readers is HERE. His username is Boborci.
