You have seen the film, yes?
Yep, sure did, lined up for it on opening day, 1982.
Growing from dead cells to full adult in a matter of days isn't considered "unstable" to you? It was mentioned right in the film.. he was going to continue growing like that until he died (the next day, at the rate he was going), until they got him away from the effects of the device.
And then he's stable. The device is no more; it's consumed in the process. Isn't it? So what's the nature of an effect that persists for all the matter in the vicinity, but no longer has a source?!
The life on the planet would be the only thing the device affected, not the planet itself.
I got the impression the place was coming apart at the seams, by the end.
That's my take on it, anyway. I thought we were past complaints that movies didn't spell out every last detail in plain English for the stupid audience? It's nice to have films that leave some questions up to the viewer to answer.
Where would be the fun in that? OK, for Inception, sure. But not so much in a throwaway adventure film, where you don't otherwise appear to be expected to apply much thought. TMP tried to be an intellectual SF film...but WOK set out to be straight action adventure. I didn't actually say I had a problem with that, or the corners that were cut. I'm saying it's a double standard - if you're going to identify the dumb stuff in the new franchise as reason to dislike it then it seems inconsistent to not dislike the old one for similar reasons. It has dumb stuff in bushels. It has entire lame movies - I mean lame by broad consensus, not by fan-rage. Why no hate? Because we're giving passes, for emotional attachment reasons.
Truth be told, it probably wasn't supposed to do that originally but added it in at the end as an out for killing Spock. Have Genesis create a planet for Spock's "coffin" to land on so they have somewhere to go to in ST III when they go searching for Spock.
Also my take. It kinda read as the nuts and bolts of filmmaking showing a bit too starkly under the paint.
Yeeeeaaaahhhhh...we don't do that here. :lol
Hell no. :thumbsup :lol
