“THERE ARE AN UNCOUNTABLE NUMBER OF LIGHTS!”
Polarize the view screen
Still the best variant of this idea:
Our shields can’t repel lens flares of that magnitude!
Activate lens flare deflectors
It’s the Allspark! Wait, no, it’s the Borg.
Lol … the Borg cube transforms into a pyramid
At some point there was an explanation that the lens flares were supposed to be subtext, a visual representation of the old phrase “bright future” and for a microsecond it almost made sense…until you realized how stupid that sounded and unbelievably annoying it was on screen.
Loved when LD:Crisis Point: Rise of Vindicta poked fun at this.
Although honestly, moderately enjoy at least the first Abramsverse film - not peak Trek, but fun enough. For a while, I thought Pine was the best Kirk performance in the franchise, but then SNW Kirk grew on me with the La’an episode and I think it’s tied.
