time traveling has been done too many times already....I'm disappointed by the movie plot!. I was looking for a fresh story not a recycled plot.

You see when the last tv series with Capt Archer involved time traveler I would expect the new Star Trek movie to offer anything aside from time traveler type of plot. Well I guess I was wrong...I wanted to see epic story epic battle epic struggle because it's a movie not a tv series instead the bad guy is just a mining ship from some years ahead. Sure there ar actions everywhere and terrific aniamtion effects but the story is kind of lame. Give us better next time.

Just saw this recently and really enjoyed it. Thought they covered the characters well and I look forward to what comes next.

Its hard to find a Sci Fi plot that hasn't been done already. If Star Trek hasn't done it than Star Gate has and if not then Dr. Who has...

There is really only about 20 diffrent scripts in Sci Fi they just change things like Capt. Kirk to Col. Sheppard, Cybermen to Borg or Tricorder to Sonic Screwdriver and bam! a new episode is written.

It's probably been posted already, even though I couldn't find it when I skimmed the thread, but:

Quote:

Wow. Canon, arrows, Yesterday's Enterprise, manual fringe, fictional time... all that just to say "I don't like it, it doesn't count"?

Wow, if only Star Wars fans were as creative. We're left with saying "this new prequel trilogy is full of contradictions".

I'm wondering if Trekkies wouldn't make excellent Bible scholars, though. The mental gymnastics they're capable of when it comes to solving the disrepancies, contradictions and misunderstandings of laws of nature in Star Trek would make a bishop swoon:rotfl:. In fact, I wonder if... yes!

EDIT: Nah. Don't wanna derail the thread into yet another flamefest on Jewish mythology.
Amen!

Star Trek is, and always has been science fantasy/adventure. Science fiction involves known science, or nearly known science as a key element to plot development. ST builds plots and then makes up fantasy science to fit. Yes, it uses devices that will require a greater scientific knowledge to build, but the message has always been more of a social study than true science fiction. The term is an overused generality that has become a label for any future story.

At least Bernd Schneider's tries to justify and foundament his opinions, maps, inconsistences, ships designs, warp field teories..errr, etc! And in my opinion he does it quite well. And has always, one can agree or not!

Star Trek is old knows know, Wensday and/or Thursday that the new blockbuster hits...(in Uk it already hited).
