Just another example of Jar-Jar Abrams not knowing how to direct drama. Don't get me wrong, he can do action scenes, he can create amazing SFX, he can do cool ideas, but he just cannot do emotion beyond adrenaline rushes. He is a good film technician, just not a director. He got his director gigs because of connections.

I never really thought it that way, but I agree with you. He's quite good at a lot of stuff, but his big emotional scenes (or scenes that should be emotional) tend to feel a bit hollow

All the people who cried at the beginning of Star Trek but wouldn't admit to it now would have disagreed with you seven years ago.

Translation, please?

The beginning of the first new!Trek movie had Daddy Kirk sacrifice himself just as baby Kirk was being born, and he got to hear the birth over intercom before/as he died. That was a touching fatherly moment, which means an Abrams movie CAN do it correctly.

So he is actively choosing to be a bad storyteller then?

It is pretty amazing how success-induced complacency can make a talented creator incredibly lazy about their work because they know they don't need to exert a lot of effort to create things that make money, and don't need to create quality things in order to get jobs.

Look, I'm not a huge JJ Abrams fan by any means, but I'm sensing a weird hostility or trollish obtuseness here, not sure which. You know that even the best storytellers don't do a great job 100% of the time, right? You can be a crap writer and have a good moment, or a great writer who has a crap moment, or any point on that spectrum in between because that's how writing works. You will make boo-boos and drop the ball on a regular basis, even if you try really, really hard. This is true of every single person who creates or does art. There are no exceptions.

+100000 ALL OF THIS.

Hrmmmmm.
I remember that scene, and what I mostly felt was annoyed and put-upon. It was so stupidly cheesy.
