In the lead-up, I'll be re-posting links from my old movie blog which is Star Trek related.
So, for today, I am posting my theme comparison between Star Trek: The Motion Picture and Tron: Legacy. Here is a snippet:
"This isn't a review, rather a collection of thoughts on the similarities between the 2 films, in terms of theme and symbolism. Additionally, their strengths - visually spectacular, symbolically designed, contemplative (not the same thing as boring), featuring terrific music - are the same. Likewise, both films have been criticized for wooden acting, uneven pacing, anemic plotting, and something I'll call "outsized ambition" (i.e. the filmmakers have attempted to elevate the source material to undeserved heights)."
Here is the link to the complete original post (please forgive the occasional typo)...
Imperfection and the Divine: Star Trek: The Motion Picture and Tron: Legacy.
Hope you enjoy it.
More Star Trek related goodness coming the next few days.
