Star Trek Movie Not To Be Missed

[Wolfehunter]

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.

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.

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.

and Lucas - is a fantastic special effects insider - and one of the worst story tellers known in business.

Why would you ever say that?

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.

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

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

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!?

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 !

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!"

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."

Ya I know she's dead. I saw parts of her ship flying in pieces.

And I agree to your above statement. That is the mentality today. Gene gave us a vision that these companies are destroying for personal profit. Its all about money.
