Is this some sort of joke?"
He thought it was good.
I told him that I thought it was probably one of the silliest movies ever made.
"What was it supposed to be?"
I asked.
"A propaganda movie made for children?"
The plot is stupid.
The acting is the worst ever for most of the principals and frankly people who look at this sort of tripe and think it has anything to do with life, love or even afterlife, of which it offers an incredibly idiotic view...
need some psychiatric help.
Please, if someone tries to get you to stick this in your DVD or Video player, consider it like you would a virus introduced into your computer...
it won't destroy your player but it will destroy your evening.
If they had made Razzies in the '40s, this would have won in every category.
(PS.
It also goes under the dubious sobriquet of "Stairway to Heaven".)
Despite a decent first season this series never came close to realizing its potential.
Set as a prequel to the original "Star Trek" series it was doomed almost from the start by an executive producer, Rick Berman, who felt compelled to artificially limit and constrict the definition of what a "Star Trek" series could be (which made this futuristic show increasingly anachronistic from a dramatic standpoint).
The actual show-runner, Brannon Braga, didn't help matters by his uninspired and tired rehashing of previous Trek episodes and careless disregard of the franchise's internal mythology (it was painfully obvious early on that he was in it only for the paycheck).
Never have I seen a series' that so consistently did a disservice to a cast of talented actors (Jolene Blaylock excepted)last so long.
It is as if this entire series was produced in bubble existing outside the contemporary television landscape where the audience (even a Trekker audience) is more demanding and sophisticated in their dramatic wants and desires.
Unfortunately it appears as if Berman and Braga have succeeded in convincing the higher ups at Paramount that "Enterprise" suffered from "franchise fatigue" and that its core audience was did not walk away but was driven off.
Produce a quality offering that lives up to the high ideals and standards of its predecessors and they (the audience) will come.
Simply put, In a TeeVee universe where we are given shows like "Battlestar: Galactica" and "The Shield" the powers-that-be must give the viewing public a "Star Trek" that measures up and is dramatically competitive.
It is just that straightforward and easy.
Anybody who has ever been a fan of the original series, or even has a clue about the storyline should be embarrassed by this series.
The Borg does not come around until Q brings the Enterprise to the Gamma sector, the Klingons are NEVER seen until Kirk encounters them, the NCC-1701 was the FIRST ship to carry the Enterprise name....
need I go on?
Berman and Pilliar have made a mockery of Gene Roddenberry's creation.
After he died, they only saw $$$$ and just went their own way.
No wonder Majel Barrett was in every single episode of star trek until this series.
I don't blame her for not being involved with this mess.
Poor Bakula.
He's a great actor, as are the entire cast.
I like them all, but the storyline is tragic and ignores all of the precedents set by the original series.
Just check the ratings.
I think more people watched Deep Space 9 (which was untimely canceled).
Okay first of all, I didn't sit down to watch the premier of a "Star Trek" Series to see a cowboy flying around in space.
this is how a normal Enterprise episode works 1 Archer finds a nebula or something aloung the lines of that and wants to take a closer look but it might destroy the ship.
2 he sends a shuttle into the nebula and and the shuttle get damaged...
in all of the episodes I have seen, all of the problems are happening because of Archer's stupid mistakes.
Oh and did you see the preview of one episode showing Archer and T'pol kissing?
I was planning to watch that episode but after that I totally gave up on Enterprise and turned to TV right off.
Come on!!!!
This is star trek!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Also what was with the banana slug??
In one episode, Hoshi had a banana slug but had to leave it behind for some stupid reason.
Okay fine, little dumb to bring you pet slug in space but whatever.
Okay that was what I thought until they left it on a desert planet!!!!!
A BANANA SLUG CANNOT LEAVE IN A DESERT!!!!!!!!!!!!
How dumb are these writers Any ways, just saying if Enterprise is on DON'T WATCH IT!!!!!
While it's early to say how the series will evolve, I can say that the pilot was less than I thought it would be.
There is still potential for the series, however.
Of course when I first saw Voyager I thought it had potential, too - but was sorely disappointed.
My gut tells me Enterprise won't be as bad as Voyager, however.
As for the impressions of the pilot...
The pilot had some good ideas and good themes.
I liked the introduction.
The show's opening credits were interesting, with the progress of exploration and a fitting theme song.
Scott Bakula is excellent in the role of captain.
Where it fell short for me was largely that the story lacked the "feel" of setting out on a grand adventure.
The plot of the episode itself was more a "generic" Trek story with the themes of "exploration" and "first step towards space" merely subplot and subtext.
Were you to edit out the references to this being the first deep space mission, the plot would be hard to differentiate between the eras of Enterprise, TOS or TNG.
The central plot didn't reflect or do justice to the grand theme of the series.
The plot of launching the first mission would have been grand enough without the "action."
Instead of isolated references to the newness of exploration, they could have been the story.
Get a little more nostalgic and philosophical about it (oh, for a TV show that once again would make us THINK).
Make us feel the excitement of "the wind" and being on "the sea" instead of distracting us with a rescue and a plethora of gunplay.
There was WAY too much gunplay.
We had the feeling more that humans were the "freshmen" in an established school.
New kids on the block, as opposed to venturing into a largely unknown universe.
Sadly, the Klingons landed on our doorstep instead of us finding them.
That meeting could have been far more historic and far more sociological.
Just how DO two such different societies interact?
Don't just hint about it, SHOW it!
I had to think of it more as `Trek with an akward crew and limited technology' as opposed to `the first brave steps into the unknown.'
I wanted to see something newer and fresher.
The series promises to have a new concept but so far I haven't seen this new, great concept.
I will conclude with reiterating the sentiment that the series has potential.
There are some interesting characters.
Bakula is wonderful.
Blalock has potential.
The overall theme is the most interesting since we first saw Kirk in a world before Apollo 11.
If only future episodes can do justice to this grand and wonderful theme, we will have a show which will create new legends.
You shoot an arrow into the air...
Good luck Capt.
Archer.
To the producers: TAKE MORE RISKS AND MAKE US THINK!
:-)
I'm not a huge Star Trek fan, but I was looking forward to this.
I was intrigued by the pre-hype descriptions of the Enterprise, its cramped-submarine styling and rough-edged technology compared to the Treks we are used to.
I didn't see anything all that interesting in this pilot.
I found the plot to be convoluted and confusing.
I will admit that I did like some of the character development - the depictions of the humans as an 'adolescent' species ready to outgrow their britches was entertaining.
And that Vulcan babe had one hell of an incredible rack.
But I don't think I'm going to get hooked on this series.
3/10
The earlier part of the film was rather enjoyable but towards the end it became trite.
Although Turturro is an actor I generally like, his Luzhin often resembled a bad Rain Man impression and the portrayal of the genius as a semi-autistic man was annoying.
Overall it seems as if this film is trying to hard and ends up looking pompous in spite of mostly fine performances.
a movie that attempts to be far smarter than its makers are capable of producing.
the movie twists and turns through miriad plot "surprises" at a desperate attempt to kep the audience guessing, offcourse puncturing the "plot" with steamy scenes they thought would help it along.
