Well as I mentioned, I've got an extremely limited sample and I have no idea
how much his influence as central to Cloverfield but I can say that it was
just...plain...awful. I snorted out loud a few times and I looked around the
packed theatre several times. There were many teens and they laughed at the
1 liners...thought maybe it was aimed at them and somehow they could enjoy
it despite it being SO fundamentally flawed....but at the end, the general
feeling seemed to be serious disappointment. Clear grumbling as we all filed
out of the theatre. Even the fat ADD 14 yr old beside me who had VOCALLY
supported the movie 3 or 4 times during was the first to speak up as the
credits rolled and many of us sat dumbstruck...."that was RETARDED!!!".
So....I really hope Abrams knows deep down that the movie sucked. In any
case, I guess it doesn't actually matter that much to me. I was interested
to see if the Trek preview would stir something in me despite my
objections....but it really didn't....at all. It looked like super souped up
Enterprise to me and for the life of me, I can't get excited about GOING
BACK to that era. Same reason, that Enterprise was the only series I didn't
watch and am only catching a bit now in re-run. I just
wasn'
t......interested.
