my fiancee took me to see it because she knew I'd been hanging out.

I don't necessarily like the fact that we saw an altering of the timeline, that's always a black mark in my book.

Other than that, I didn enjoy it, as did my better half. The one-liners kept her very into it:D

I saw it tonight. The wife and I both thought it was an awesome flick (neither of us are really sci-fi fans). The reviews nailed this one down - it was very accessible to people who know little to nothing about Star Trek (the original is all I've ever really cared for). Smart, action-packed, sexy, funny, and flashy, I'd recommend this film to anyone interested in a fun movie.

Great Movie saw it last night, hell wasn't expecting it to be this good this movie totally kicked a$$ :rock:

I was impressed. They did a great job keeping the old fans happy while playing to the new. I have not been on the edge of my seat at a movie in a long time.

:yeah:

We just saw this movie today. In all honestly I have to say it was "OK"

I paid $8.50 and felt I got my money's worth but I have no desire to watch it again.

I am a big fan of the original Star Trek as well as the Blish books. I was, frankly, expecting more from this movie.

It had great glitzy special effects, but it takes more than CGI to make a great movie. The music was also very nice.

The plot was a bit hokey though.

I felt the person who played Spock stole the movie. What a great selection of actor and excellent acting. :yeah:

The actor who played Kirk was a little too much "matt damon" for my liking. :down: I wished the writers had read some of the Blish books as they went in to the "history" of the characters.

By no means whatsoever am I saying this was a bad movie. Not at all. It was good entertainment, but, in my opinion, not all that great.

The Frau loved it but she admits that she is a huge CGI fan.

Just...wow. Thats all I have to say.

I like the actors. They did a good job in playing there parts. Story was good to. It filled both universes very well to give us a newer star trek.

I didn't like the ship. What they did to her was a total cosmetic change. I didn't like the new phasers. They act like Klingon disruptors with there pulse shots rather than the solid beam's from the phasers.

I understand they're trying to attract new blood into the fan base but they don't have to destroy the ship. :nope:

New Enterprise is very pretty but not reflecting Gene's vision.

Special effects are very cool. I find it too quick to really enjoy it. I may have to watch it again just to see the details. :03:

I give it 6 out of 10. If they kept some of the traditional details like star trek was I would have given it a 10 but they destroyed her. That for me is a big no no.

Why would you ever say that?:haha:

Do they show how Shatner got involved in priceline?

That was pretty much my only major gripe. The bridge looked like it was made by Apple.


iBridge.

Igree! :yeah:

The Bridge looked like it was made by Apple?
Looked great,
bit like upgrading your PC,
to go with the times :D

That totally does look like an iBridge :haha:

Overall, great movie... my son and I really enjoyed it. :yeah:

Pros
All the new actors really did a good job playing up to their predecessors.
Spock was great, but McCoy was probably my favorite of the bunch.
Cool space debris after battles.

Cons
The Spock love interest? Did NOT see that one comin.
Still trying to reconcile the space-time continium disruption in my head. (I think I've decided to try not to think about the two instances of Spock)
A red dinosaur on Hoth :hmmm:

Other comments...

I heard that all the actors that signed on had to agree to at least 3 films. So now that everything has been time-disrupted, the writers basically have free reign to ignore or redefine the storyline history going forward!?

$ 76,500,000.00 opening weekend !

:haha::haha::haha:

I saw it today, just come from seeing it! 5/10! It could had being so much better (the opposite argument is also logic)! But the story (at least some of it), and the way that several caracters were just a caricatures :nope:!

And they talk about Doc Who about the future technology being so retro...!
I share the same though about the ship phasers.
The engine room is also weird/retro kind of way...

As a good friend of mine said (he went see the movie with me) "What is the film number?" "XI!" Ah, it's the teory number, the next one is going to be good!"

I saw it yesterday, and it totally rocked! Only afterward do the flaws in the script become obvious. But it's too late now: I enjoyed Star Trek and nothing will ever change that (unless I travel back in time and spoil the movie for myself)!

And you heard this from a guy with a Starfleet uniform in his closet! :DL

Ah I forgot to say that. New vulcan emotions are acceptable now... Dambit jim.. Spock's green blooded heart feels.. :o

I sure do like that Orion chic hehehe.

Of course the next line of that scene was from Spock:
"Get out of the chair."

I hate to say it however, given the success of BSG, and other more gritty space operas in recent history (including firefly/serenity), was it any suprise that this utopian ideal that was the goal has taken a back seat to the flawed humanity with more futuristic tech that was depicted? We know that Paramount had no love for us, or the franchise. I mean look at what they did to the set (destroyed it), the props (sold those that they could), and documentation (only G/god(s) knows what).
The sad unfortunate truth about Star Trek is that the ones with the money have seen a formula that appears to work, and hated the franchise previously, so took that formula and made of the fictional universe that we all grew into Trek in. Therefore, since the formula works they see a way to create the franchise in an image more akin to their money making schemes, rather than the intent of the creator of the franchise. We will get new fans into our community, and in many ways we will disagree with why they came. But they came, so let us give them a chair, punch, and give 'um a piece of cake (if it isn't a lie), and teach them of the heritage of what they will adopt as their own. Maybe then, they will see the errors of RST or ST2.0 (or whatever you want to call it), and come to appretiate the entirity of our passion for this fictional universe which Mr. Roddenberry so graciously left us to revel in.

I hate to burst your bubble, but as Bones would say: "She's dead Jim."

Sigh... thats not the full quote its "She's dead jim you grab the tricorder I'll get her wallet !" :rotfl:

By the way it seems Data can get a little emotional now too !

OK so this is becoming a vid thread? OK, here's something stupid, and a remix of another sort.

And one of the best scenes of DS9, if not this.
