I just saw it, and on the whole I liked it. I hated every single one of the "kinder, gentler" Star Treks, which tried to be better Trek but usually wasn't very good science fiction. With this we're back to the good old kick 'em hard and blow 'em up Trek, which is silly action-adventure but at least good fun.

This was Majel Barrett's last work before she died - one last time she was the computer voice.

I watched it on Sunday. And I must say I really liked it. Even my non-ST friend enjoyed some of it

Now I can't throw around any crits or anything like that since I only have watched Star Trek Voyager (got Season 1 and 2). I haven't seen the originals or TNG or any others... yet. But good movie got some laughs out of it too

Yeah, I heard that too about Mrs. Roddenberry, last December I believe.

No kidding? Wow, are you lucky, you get to experience it for the first time.

I recommend beginning early in Season 1, say with Balance of Terror. Interestingly, this battle scene was played out like a destroyer/submarine enagagement.

Great Choice in episodes !!!! That's my favorite one! I remember watching it when I was a kid (when the episode 1st aired) and it made me a Trek fan from that moment on.

I'd also recomend, 'The Doomsday Machine', 'Arena', 'City of the Edge of Forever' and the classic 'The Trouble with Tribbles'. Along with Balance of Terror those are probaly the top five episodes of the TOS.

That would probably be because it was almost a direct rip-off of The Enemy Below. I recognized that when I saw it the first time around back in '66 or so. Not knocking it though - I loved that episode.

I also liked the original Pilot episode, with Jeffrey Hunter as captain Christopher Pike, Majel Barrett as "Number One" and Leonard Nimoy as a very excitable, not-so-logical Mr. Spock.

But I mentioned that once before.

In looking at some of the scenes of the movie and how they were filmed, I would say this is a lock.
