I read this after having seen the movie (which i loved) but in reading the script, i found that the editorial use of the word 'fucking' (eg. 'THE ROOF JUST RIPS OFF THE FUCKING CAR') very distracting. This affect is used all throughout the script and comes across as amaturish. Overall a great story, and a pleasent re-invention of characters we all love.Nik (9 out of 10 )
The script and movie are excellent. But what kept bugging me is the use of "fucking", it really isn't needed in the script because its not one of the lines, the script writer uses it just for stage directions. It's unnecessary. Other than that awesome.Klai (10 out of 10 )
I disagree, though the cursing isn't completely necessary it gives the Director/reader a vivd idea that during this action sequence it is necessary to make this detail very evident to the audience. Very entertaining movie(though almost has the exact plot as Star Wars a new hope). But if it's not broken don't fix it.Ed (9 out of 10 )
I agree with Klai-- it's the way Abrams and Lindelof write and it's won both of them awards. It's clearly used to heighten the situation-- and what better way to do it.Klingon (10 out of 10 )
Very good movie- better than any other star trek movie, although I have to agree with lee about the use of the f word. I don't mind that kind of language and it wouldn't be off-putting if it was dialogue (but not in a star trek movie) but it wasn't. Also, Simon Pegg's portrayal of Scotty was better than the tv show.BadgerBoy (7 out of 10 )
I tried to read this but the use of unprofessional use of the word "fucking" just made it fucking impossible to read. As if the script was written by a fucking ten year old with emotional issues.
