Stewart was not happy about being left out of the Harry Potter series which - on film - is a showcase of British actors.
I don't see how CrapTrek doesn't fit his analysis of some of those other films.
This is a really awkward interview. I mean, I love Star Trek, but it's FILLED with violence, noise, and special effects.
And from what I've heard about Up it isn't going to be an especially violent or noisy movie. Although I suppose you can't avoid the special effects since it is Pixar (but...but...it's such wonderful animation). And I haven't heard that it's supposed to be 'standardized' either, whatever that's supposed to mean.
And obviously he hasn't read much Harry Potter or he'd realize there's a LOT more to the new movie than any of those things.
Terminator...well, okay...THERE he has a point.
Sorry, I'm glad he liked the movie. I just think that some of the other things he said weren't thought through very well.

I love how predicatble so many of you are. If Stewart had said he didn't like the movie you guys would have attacked him for being "bitter", "unappreciative of what the franchise did for his career" and told the guy to "go back to the stage where you belong."
So the guy praises the film genuinely and you retort with "of course he said that, he doesn't want to alienate the fans or the new regime" or "he is just selling out" blah blah.
If nothing an actor says is the right answer in your eyes, then you are either (a) jealous that you are not in their shoes [or could even fit into their costume] or (b) you're just b*tching for the sake of b*tching. There, you've been exposed.

This film iz teh suck. Everyone here is either just "starved" for Trek or a paid plant. You just wait until the new film comes out. Nobody's gonna like this....crap.
Well, they hate it to the tune of $336,524,279.
Oops.
Well, no one associated with Trek is gonna like it. THEY know what trek is.
Except Nimoy liked the script enough to come out of retirement. I mean, sell out.
Stewart likes it so of course he's just covering his ass because, in order to ever work for a film company you have to publically love EVERY film that's ever been released under their banner.
What amuses me most is how they've remained conspicuously silent on the endorsement of the film by Herb Solow, I think literally the last of TOS' creators left alive and as close as you'll ever come to Roddenberry. Liked it enough to endorse it and want to see these stories with these people continue
The louder and more absurd their wailing becomes? It's just music to the ears. Proof that JJ kicked the right (and most insane) segment of fandom to the curb.
Every rant is like a victory theme...the more absurd the rant the greater the crescendo,so enjoy it.
I know I will. :)

Good of him to go and see the movie. Moreover, he liked it!
Now Shatner needs to go see this film. C'mon Shatner - your fans are saying Stewart's only kissing up to Abrams in the hopes of a role in the next one. Well, no harm in you kissing the ring at this point in time either, then! ;-)
This wouldn't surprise me if true:
So, what did you really think of the new movie, Mr. Stewart?
"...Full of standardised levels of noise, violence and special effects and I thought, 'My God, nothing would attract me to this.
"I love animated movies and I especially love Pixar but I weary of standardisation. I don't know what's happened... but I better not go on, you never know, they might want to cast me in Star Trek XII."
Of course Stewart will say he liked it. He has nothing to lose and perhaps something to gain by saying so. I doubt any Trek actor would risk a possible future role in the new Crap-Trek. JJ might not want actors from other Trek franchises anyway but he would certainly not bring them in unless they had endorsed the little Trek partition he squeezed out.
I doubt that Stewart has any real desire to do Trek again but it doesn't hurt him in the least to grease the pimp's hand with a disposable dollar.

Patrick Stewart is a paid plant of JJ Abrams! RRRRRGGHHH!
Even Picard himself liked it. ;-)
