Patrick Stewart Says He Loved J.J. Abrams Star Trek Movie

Features

By GustavoLeao / 19:24, 10 June 2009 / Star Trek: Nemesis

The Yorkshire Post posted a new interview with Star Trek The Next Generation star Patrick Stewart and here are few excerpts of the article.

"Yesterday, I took my grandchildren to see the new Star Trek movie. There were three movie trailers, one for the new Terminator movie, one for the new Harry Potter and one for a Pixar animated movie. All the trailers sounded and looked the same. Full of standardised levels of noise, violence and special effects and I thought, 'My God, nothing would attract me to any of these'.

"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 one of them."

He might want to leave it there, but given he spent seven years playing Captain Picard, what did he think of the 21st-century version of Star Trek?

"I loved it. I absolutely loved it," he proclaims. "It was a very, very odd experience to be in the cinema watching a new Star Trek movie that I wasn't in. Not only that, but with the exception of Leonard Nimoy I didn't know any of the cast... but, it's Star Trek. They've taken some quite innovative decisions but it's absolutely essential, right down the middle Star Trek. I got a great kick out of it."

He also says of Chris Pine, the young actor playing Captain Kirk: "He's brilliant. He is charming, truthful, funny and utterly delightful."

I actually thought Solow had a very fair critique. He liked it, but recognized that there were flaws.

I know. You're right. It's best to just sit back and laugh at the pathetic loser segment of the fanbase as they slip further and further into irrelevancy with every post they make.

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.

Now, you know you and I pretty much are on the same page when it comes to the idiot "fans" on here wailing every chance they get. Call me stupid but..your above Stewart remark was sarcasm right? It's hard to tell, lol.
