![]() ![]() IMAX release rankings from 2016 (in order of RottenTomatoes rating, RottenTomatoes average score, and Metacritic rating):Ĭaptain America: Civil War (90%, 7.7/10, 75/100)ġ0 Cloverfield Lane (90%, 7.5/10, 76/100) Unfortunately, the film's misfortune even followed there as the film lost that Oscar to the next IMAX release - which is a serious problem because first, I do not believe for a second that film had better make-up than this, and second, it's THE worst-reviewed film in DC Extended Universe to date. The film's visual effects was great, especially Yorktown Station, which is my favorite sci-fi city to this day and make-up effects were outstanding to a point where it even got nominated for Best Make-up Oscar (especially Jayla, played by Sofia Boutella). It seems likely that Chekov would get written out should the sequel gets made, but since he was like 20 or 21 during the event of this film (and Yelchin himself was aging very well to boot), I personally wouldn't be surprised if he gets transferred to another Federation starship.Įither way, it's remarkable that they made such a solid film despite a lot of production troubles like initial filming period reportedly lasting for only a month or so and having to add a new character during reshoots (as far as I'm concerned, the character who was added this way was Commodore Paris). As a result, the film was dedicated both Nimoy and Yelchin with the dedication for the former appearing first, followed by the dedication for the latter. While there was no need to alter the film accordingly since the film was almost completed by then, this shocked the entire film industry due to how young he was at the time of his untimely death. Anton Viktorovich Yelchin (commonly known as Anton Yelchin), who played Ensign Pavel Chekov in this trilogy, passed away at the age of 27 due to what has been described as a freak car accident on June 19, 2016. Unfortunately, the film ended up getting struck by an even worse tragedy that no one even saw coming: And due to the passing of Leonard Simon Nimoy (commonly known as Leonard Nimoy) in Februdue to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) at the age of 83, the passing of Ambassador Spock was written into the film and became a major plot point and a character arc for Commander Spock (played by Zachary John Quinto, commonly known as Zachary Quinto) and many fans will tell you that was done in highly respectful way in general. It's really a shame too because not only Justin Lin was a huge Star Trek fan in the first place, which might be why the film was praised as the film that captured the spirit of the original series the most in Kelvin trilogy, not to mention that the film itself is currently the best-reviewed film in Lin's portfolio. Unsurprisingly, the film pretty much flopped at the box office and caused the sequel to get stuck in a limbo even to this day. ![]() Finally, one of the TV spots actually spoiled the main villain's identity, which is one of the biggest marketing blunders that I've ever seen from a blockbuster film. Fourth, this came out on 50th anniversary of Star Trek franchise and they completely squandered the opportunity to capitalize on that. Third, the third trailer felt more like an advertisement for Rihanna's newest song. Second, they advertised the whole thing as a film directed by the guy who directed Fast & Furious (2009), which is actually the worst-reviewed film in the entire Fast & Furious series (seriously, couldn't have they used Fast Five (2011)?). If anyone wants a prime example of how a terrible marketing can ruin a film, look no further than this. ![]()
