Roberto Orci Denies Details of AICN Negative Review, Again - Spoilers

Features

By GustavoLeao / 05:02, 7 January 2008 / Star Trek: Nemesis

Star Trek movie writer Roberto Orci popped onto the Don Murphy message board and completely and specifically denied that the details on AICN negative review were true.

He said:

"No area 51. That makes no sense. The Earth KNOWS there are aliens. What possible meaning could an area 51 have?"

"No Kirk as bad student. We all know he's a genius."

"No protesters with signs about anything."

"Yes, there's great action, but we've said that in other interviews."

The original report is here.

Who said that audiences don't embrace dramas that depict events leading to known outcomes? Apollo 13 was a case in point of this and it was a critical success. I said nothing that suggested I think it didn't work. I accepted the example movie you provided and simply pointed out that it helped making my point because those involved in that movie spoke about the difficulty of making a dramatic movie when the outcome was known.

Please look at this article to see the cinematographer of Appollo 13 making this point. I recall several others (including Ron Howard) making this point too.

Drama does not depend on the (un)known, nor on resolution.

Who, without qualification, said drama depends on the unknown? I certainly didn't.

Quote:
Thus a purely fantastical and open-ended story can click.

Fantastic stories are by their natures unknown, unless of course we have read or seen them. In which case, the same hurdle is realized.



Isn't it silly misrepresenting what others say in order to avoid responding to what they really are saying? My ceiling of comprehension is lofty indeed, juxtaposed with the depth of how obtuse you are being.
