I stopped the moment 7 was holding someone’s eye, spaghetti gore a-dangling, for a full screen shot, a-squelching and a-jiggling like some 14 year old’s revenge-gone-raw, mad-mamma-mario, overly-hyphenated, underground, VHS, convention shock-schlock.
I don’t have a problem with gore, but why are we doing Troma as if it’s serious? If she’d have looked at the screen and asked “why was 6 afraid of 7?” Then taken a bite saying “because” squelch
“7” squelch
“ate” squelch
“eyes” gulp
that would have been promise. Instead it just gave desperation and hack.
From what I’ve read and seen it was just “hey! Remember this guy!” Over and over while they all performed some kind of brooding emotional lens flare, written by a second gen Hollywood producer getting fluffed while trying to sketch out what “the common old man” wants to see in the era of failing social support systems.
My hopes started to falter when the female romulan villain, even when I found the actress insanely sexy in the role, delivered lines extracted directly from a manual for stupid over the top cartoonish villains. And the lost opportunities were painful (Hugh reuniting with Picard for two scenes and then Hugh being killed; Seven being the (a) Borg Queen for 30 seconds…) So much waste.
And the less told about ‘assimilation-via-transporter but only for young people’, the better. Even more stupid than the transporter commbadges.

But the kids are a-teeming with WOKE! We must save them with imagined grit and toughness of soft Hollywood cowboys! Johwn Whayneeee!
