Star Trek! Now with 100% more lens flares!
May 13th, 2009 by Matt
This Video pretty well sums up my feelings about the overuse of lens flares and shakey cam in the new Star Trek movie.
Jim Ferolo pointed me to an article about the hot lens flare action.
Also, this was found in the comment seciton of slashfilm.com:
Kirk: Bridge to Engineering
Scotty (off camera): Ay, Cap’n
Kirk: Mr. Scott. I need…those lens flares, andIneedthem…ten minutes ago.
Scotty: I’m giving her all she’s got Cap’n. There just aren’t any more lights on the ship. All we’ve got left are Uhura’s scented candles.
Kirk: Mr. Spock. Suggestions.
Spock: Sir, I do not understand your course of action. It is already so bright in here that I fear we may all suffer retinal damage. Would it not be more logical to turn off some of the lights before we go blind?
Kirk: Damn your eyes, Spock. I…MUST…have more lens flares. I’ve…gotadisease…and the only cure…ismorelensflares.
Spock: Perhaps Dr. McCoy can prescribe something for you.
Kirk: Bridge to Sick Bay. Bones are you there?
McCoy: I’m here, and I’m busy. What do you want?
Kirk: Bones, Spock is worried these lens flares might make us all go blind. Any suggestions?
McCoy: Dammit, Jim, I’m a doctor not an opthomologist! Oh, wait. I guess I am. I’ll bring you guys some sunglasses.

I really didn’t mind the lens flares in the film. I thought they provided a nice feeling of in the moment docu-style sci-fi similar to Firefly.
