Total Recall: Star Trek Movies

Janson Jinnistan

Pegg sounds like he's dutifully defending his lucrative paycheck.

Personally, after seeing the film, me and two friends were immediately laughing about the lens flares, and another friend happened to be a manager at the theater who hadn't seen the film yet. He ducked into the end of a showing, and after about ten minutes, he came out saying, "Yeah, I just counted 12."

Unlike Spielberg, who only used flare shots sparingly, in specific scenes to heighten a similar sense of awe, Abrams deserves the scorn precisely because it's a "throw away artistic choice" that he saturated his film with. It would be equally valid criticism against anyone who indulged a single effect, as a cheap artifice. "It's clever"? How? Because the "subliminal sense of documentary realism"? Why didn't he just frame the boom mic in over 1,000 shots? (A: Because it's a BS rationale) It's not clever, it's gratuitous, and the truth hurts sometimes, Simon.
