   Went into the Garfield movie with very low expectations.

   It has a story, which is generic but not bad. Some jokes are boring, some fun. The emotional content is plastic.

   The visual art is high quality, occasionally brilliant! Hannah Waddingham's voice acting is a delight!

   Check out this villain song with Waddingham!

     It'a not very Garfield, it's an independent story featuring characters that look like Garfield characters, with some inspiration from their original stories and personalities, except when there isn't.

     @sun @clacke But how does it compare to the 2004 and 2006 movies plot-wise?

     @sun @tk @clacke I love star trek but a lot of it blends together for me especially TOS.

     @sun @tk @triodug None of the JJ Trek are memorable, they're 100% that "reuse names" thing I described, more so than Discovery.

     Discovery tries a lot of things and loses its footing. JJ Trek doesn't try anything.

     @clacke @tk @triodug every jj movie is "use this list of things as a palette" but honestly I feel like nu-trek has outright contempt for the source material

     @sun JJ and DIS got some Trek out there and kept the name profitable until we got SNW, so I can't really hate on them.

     I don't think DIS hates Trek, I just think it tries too hard to be young and hip and relevant. Either way, it's a wrap now. Soon we'll have Academy to gripe about!

     I only saw the first JJ Abrams Star Trek, but out of the earlier movies, the only one I enjoyed was Generations. All the rest felt like they betrayed the TV show (ST-TOS).
     
     Admittedly, I am 100% not a Trekkie, but that's sort of the point. The TV show wasn't trying to cultivate obsessives, while the movies seem to cater to them.
     
     The one JJA movie I saw went back to the original ideal of not cultivating obsessives. Generations felt like it partly ignored the cultists in favor of regular people who liked TOS or TNG. And that's why I liked those two movies and none of the others.
     
     Now, I've never seen any of his other ST work, so that could have been a one-off. But in general, the Star Trek movies suck, and the sooner we admit this, the sooner Paramount can figure out how to make something Star Trek worth watching again.

     @sun I think Picard had interesting ideas but is overall objectively bad ... but I'm a sucker for the fanservice and nostalgia so I liked it.
