I assume you now have already taken revenge over your mum?

Yup

Started watching what she wouldn't let me see before like Stargate, Star Wars, etc etc

(it's the whole alien thing that she doesn't like, lol)

Seen it twice already (in IMAX), go see it. Enjoy.

Gave it a B+ Memorable, but not Almost Perfect.

It's odd that my IMAX doesn't have Star Trek. But I have several theaters more close to my home XD

The movie review in my local paper gave it 3 1/2 out of 4 stars. The guy said it was the best Star Trek flick since 'Wrath of Khan'.

We'll see...

The best and worst Capt. Kirk moments

Sadly, we learn that Kirk is a terrible driver and is willing to point a tommy gun at a kid.

I have always enjoyed star trek, especially the 1960s series, but i never considered myself to be a "fan".

I went and saw this movie last night - Holy crap

That movie starts kicking ass from the moment it starts, and it only stops kicking ass long enough for you to catch a short breath before it starts kicking ass again!!!

Quinto's performance and portrayal of a young spock is flawless

Pine's performance of Kirk - wonderful, cocky, young etc. once in a while he does show a little shatner though "Yes!!! (pause) Mr.... Chekov." but you have to look for it sometimes.

Urban's performance as Dr. Bones... had he dropped ONE more "My God Man!!" in the film, it would have been too over the top.

over all i give this 4 out of 4 stars... this is the movie to beat in 2009

I have tickets for tonite.

My wife bought them yesterday when the first day was sold out.

baggygreen · 05-09-09, 07:01 PM

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

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$$

NEON DEON · 05-10-09, 12:35 PM

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.

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.

The actor who played Kirk was a little too much "matt damon" for my liking.

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.
