Soooo.... star trek script plot is nothing more there than a mcguffin? No REAL impact on whatever the DRAMA story is? IE ST could be replaced with ANYTHING: Game of Thrones, Lost in Space, Star Wars, ANY TV show ??
The poster, the Vulcan sign, the plot point reeled me in... I watch the trailer and see yet another boring Hallmark drama about someone's problems, not an interesting movie with a plot going where no movie has gone before. Big deal.
This is an excellent movie when it comes to raising awareness and understanding of different neurological types.
shareMmm, when they speak Klingon it's a very important point. Other vehicles don't offer a common language like that.
A good film here, the story of a young person on a difficult path to find a place in the world. In fact I think that would have been a better title: A Place in the World.
You'd have thought having a Trek cast member (Eve) woudve provided a fun twist/nod of some kind.. but apparently not (I've only read the wiki plot but nothing of any suggestion there)
shareNot entirely, Toni Collette's kid relates her to Spock in that they are aliens who are distant from humans and then there is the scene with Fatton Oswalt and the Klingon connection. But I agree in general, it's not made clear how or why she formed such a connection to ST in the first place, especially when there are time-consuming superfluous scenes of her past that are just generic Hollywood autistic behavior (music, head-slapping retardation, etc). The problem with these glossy dramas still remains in trying to flesh out irrelevant relationships and give uninteresting characters more screentime, they should have focused more on the central protagonist and what makes her tick rather than the Oscarbaiting fluff.
