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.Dave (6 out of 10 )
The script wasn't written for your consumption, but by two guys paid bucketfuls of a cash and for another guy who earns truckfuls of cash to make a studio a planetsized nugget of gold. If they want to fuck on the page, it really isn't any of your concern.C.Thomas Harding (10 out of 10 )
Guys the script is gold. Are you really complaining that the word "fuck" is used to describe, something happening in a scene. You guys must be really big movie snobs. I mean even Filmmakers like "Spielberg" had to use the "f" word every once in a while. Granted Spielberg has not written many screenplays, but still.Baron (1 out of 10 )
Having seen the finished products from these hacks, I'm not surprised at the way the actual screenplay reads. This script is a mess. Not only do the "writers" defecate on the source material, they also employ an array of amateur-level devices, witless dialogue, and various format errors. Their idea of structure is to think of a place where they want the characters to end up and then make up a bunch of implausible scenes to get them there. Defenders of these hacks like to point out that Trek 2009 was a hit. Really though, anyone could’ve greenlit a $150 million budget space action film with the Star Trek franchise name attached and scored big box office. Roland Emmerich could’ve directed a ‘Star Trek’ with the guys who wrote Click and it would’ve been box office gold. Too bad they didn’t hire talented writers and directors who could’ve done for Star Trek what Nolan and company did for Batman. A well-written, competently directed Trek could’ve made$ 1 billion worldwide (like The Dark Knight) instead of just $400 million with a poor showing internationally.
