In reply to the discussion: Star Trek film has political message (Spoiler) [View all]graham4anything
(11,464 posts)I took it to mean President Obama should not stoop to the Republican level and keep his head on the long term prize and not engage in the republican gladiator mob type actions.
I did take the movie to be about the capture of BinLaden though and doing whatever it took to catch him.
I still don't get though why they need to have clones of the original when none of the actors/actresses brought anything new to the roles that.
It was like they all were playing dressup as the original characters to bring in today's kids.
That said, I liked it and that it was sort of a sequel in a prequel (stopping to not reveal).
And it also reminded me of a different older movie too in the ending.
And at one point, the music was very much like the Rocky theme leading up to the famous part of that soundtrack(but not the famous part itself).
What is interesting is that Star Trek predated of course, all the other later reference points like Indiana Jones and Star Wars and JJ Abrams had bits from each of those in here.
and kudos for a special moment
