Meanwhile the 2013 film seems to be speeding through things, quickly checking plot points off a list without getting through to the emotional core. Instead, much like Gatsby's futile attempts to impress Daisy, the film relies almost wholly on flair and spectacle.

The Hunt for Red October 1990
Very good and exciting, I like the idea that the soviets listened to no music but their national anthem all day. Loved the constantly smoking engineer, Jack Ryans sweater, the very different feel between sets, especially the Dallas being much more cramped than the Red October.
Also I want to rewatch TNG: "The Defector"
