Star Trek Review: Holy. $#!T, JJ

[ 10:00 ]

We were both BLOWN AWAY by J.J. Abram's Star Trek, as a prequel, as a sequel, and as a big summer blockbuster movie... Even though Matt's a life-long trekkie, and Nat's never really followed Trek, it was a unanimous crowd pleaser for us. What about you?

Star Trek Preview: Exclusive Scenes And Interviews
Shatner's out, Picard hasn't been born yet, Odo is still a pile of goo and Janeway? Who's that? J.J. Abrams has taken Star Trek into the realm of James Bond, Doctor Who and Batman, making Kirk, Spock and Bones larger than the actors who play them. Yes, he's re-cast every single role in an attempt to breathe new life into one of the longest running film and TV franchises in history. We've got an exclusive first look at scenes from Star Trek, as well as interviews with J.J, Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto and the rest of the all-new cast of the original series. Matt's a HUGE Trekkie, and Nat not so much, so there will be PLENTY to look forward to in our review next week! ~Matt + Nat

Full Transformers Review - Parts 1 And 2 + Preview...
Matt + Nat loved watching the movie, but at the end of the day Matt was pretty disappointed in the adaptation of the Transformers mythos, and goes off on a mad rant by the end. Do you agree with him? Or do you think Nat's expectations are more reasonable? Let us know at YourGeekNews.com!

Fantastic 4 Ii Review- But Is It Fantastic This Time?
There were some real mixed feelings on the first one… between a strong opening weekend, and a lack-lustre run afterward, a strong message was sent to Fox by viewers: We love the idea, but not the execution. So how well will Fox do with its second outing? We’ll give you a nice preview of the film and our review all wrapped up in a nice little package… and don’t worry, we don’t spoil the ending! ~Matt + Nat

T4 Review: Terminator Salvageable? Satisfactory?...
We both loved parts and hated parts; we both thought parts were badass and other parts had no balls at all... only problem is, we're not totally in agreement on which was which. This isn't exactly a film series that prides itself on continuity, but still, as Terminator fans, and after 25 years of Terminators, we have a certain minimum expectation. What did you think?

T4 Preview: Does Mcg Spell Salvation For The Terminator...
After an atrocious T3, it looked like the Terminator film series was suffering from classic franchise fatigue (seriously, THREE movies about the same exact plot?). But with the arrival of McG in the director's chair, we’ve got a movie about the coolest part of the Terminator universe: the dystopian future that all these wacky killing machines are from. Not to be confused with three hot babes who work for a talking speaker. With a killer film look, some great actors, and a NEW idea for once, Terminator looks like it’s relevant again, and ready to rock this summer's blockbuster season... Check out this sweet preview with TONNES of scenes from the film! ~Matt+Nat

Transformers 2 Preview: Revenge, Anyone?
If you go back to our 2007 review, Matt was on a bit of a tirade about how terrible of an adaptation Michael Bay’s first Transformers film was. Now that all the wounds have healed, Bumblebee is a Camaro, Jazz is dead and Optimus has flames on his trailerless tractor trailer, it’s time to see if this re-imagined Transformerverse has a good story to tell in it. We’ve got three scenes to share with you that give you an idea of what to expect from T2… wait, that acronym is already taken. Either way, we hope you enjoy our take on almost 5 minutes of theatrical footage from the film! ~Matt+Nat

Transformers 2 Review: It was...good? Unexpected.
Michael Bay stunned us. Not only was Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen an entertaining enough film to keep Nat’s attention for 150-long minutes, but Matt, (who RAILED against the 2007 film as a classic G1 80’s Transformers fan) actually enjoyed this one, too! The wounds from Bay’s painful re-imagining of the Transformers have healed in the last two years, and a Mute, Camaro Bumblebee doesn’t offend us quite as much as it used to. Maybe that’s what helped make this sequel SUCH an improved experience over the original! ~Matt+Nat

Spiderman 3 Review- Holy Crap! That Was Only One...
Alright boys and girls… we just saw the midnight showing of Spiderman 3 and man, is there a lot to say about this movie… mostly because there is about enough story going on in it to make up two or three movies, but somehow Sam Raimi manages to jam it all into one. How successfully? Well, our review is a bit mixed, but if you disagree with us, and even if you don’t, leave us a comment and take us to task! ~Matt + Nat

Wolverine Review: Multiple Endings = Multiple Viewings?
To say that Wolverine has multiple endings isn't exactly correct, but it does have multiple post-credit bonus scenes. Much like the post-credit Nick Fury scene in Iron Man, or the Tony Stark scene in Incredible Hulk, X-Men Origins: Wolverine gives you a reason to sit through the credits… and it’s hard to know which one you’ll be getting since Gavin Hood has put at least two different versions out in theatres, that we know of. We’ve seen two different endings, one that’s Deadpool-centric and one that’s Japan-based, but it won't take long to get to the bottom of how many there are, and to see them all! ~Matt + Nat

Quantum Of Solace Review: The First Bond Sequel Ever
It looks to us like Daniel Craig is two for two. Quantum of Solace really did a great job of picking up where Casino Royale left off, keeping the look, the feel, and the Bond consistent. Which means this is a very different kind of Bond film: one that truly functions as a sequel, furthering a common story arc. So how exactly does that work?
