yeah...

looks ok... and I like JJ... my GF has made me go to 2 girlie flicks already... I told her (even tho, I don't really want to) we're going to this on opening night at an iMax theater just so I can wig her out with all the trekkies wandering around.

[[SS]Rator]

I saw that too, looks really good.

[Tagger]

Looks good. May be the only Trek movie I've ever looked forward to seeing.

[[SS]Wally]

I will be happy if the special fx are cool. If the story is good ontop of that would be a bonus for me.

[[SSr]LouSaynis]

My dad is talking about pulling me out of school just to go see it--> BIG bonus

[Tagger]

You've got a cool dad.

[[SS]Shooter]

Star Trek for the 'Zack and Josh' crowd. That movie is designed to plant 14-24 year olds in theater seats for 1-2 weeks so it can make back its production budget before people figure out it sucks.

[Tagger]

I don't know about seeing it in a theater outside of the one in my living room. I'll have to watch it at some point. I can't pass on good fx.

[[SS]Rator]

Young Kirk, cmon, awesome!

[[SS]Wally]

Young Kirk, I thought he was from San Francisco? Or was that where he was stationed?

[[SSr]LouSaynis]

Kirk is from Iowa

[Sabotage]

I've always thought Star Trek was interesting, they follow almost all the rules of physics and astronomy (ya know besides the ships) and I'm a huge astronomy geek. I may pay to see it.

[Tagger]

Never was a big fan. But, what they've accomplished is impressive considering how long ago the TV series began. They were doing Fx with strings and paper cups back then and pulled it off. I wonder if William Schattner (sp?) will be making a guest appearance in this one?

No, he won't.

He's salty about it too...

The thing is most of the original cast members hate each other.

[[SS]Wally]

Isn't that funny? I wonder if it is because they worked with each other so long, or if it is because Shattner is rumored to be a prick. Maybe a god complex?
Hahahaha, I don't care either way.
Just bring Bones back and throw a slug in someones ear for him to dig out.

New trailer...

damn.

[[SS]Wally]

Wow, Star Trek and boobs. hahaahaha thats a wierd combo isn't it?

[Sabotage]

Wally;104612']Wow, Star Trek and boobs. hahaahaha thats a wierd combo isn't it?I guess their targeted audience is ALLL NEEERRRDDSS!

[[SS]Midnight]

No. Their targeted audience is all sci-fi lovers. This movie will be different from all the others. The old Star Trek had a lot of 'cheezyness' in it. This one they have the freedom of choosing new actors and of course the current tech on CG and other movie tricks.

It will be awesome.

The farthest I ever went into Trekie land was around age 12 when I found a English-Klingon book at the library. I grabbed it for 2 weeks. I was surprised that they had made a full on language for Klingon...that lasted 2 weeks. I like to watch the movies. I don't want to speak Klingon, Vulcan, or Farangie..... I just like sci-fi entertainment.

Oh ya and I liked figuring out the warp factor speeds. That was cool.

[[SS]Wally]

The review at cnn is exhilarating. I am excited to see this one, might hit the outdoor theater for it.

[[SS]Midnight]

Gonna go watch it tomorrow.

[[SSr]LouSaynis]

I'm gonna see it tonight so that I can spoil it for the rest of you... : )

[AEJustin1]

I want to go see this right NOW, but i've got to wait till I get my next check :( :(

[[SSr]LouSaynis]

Just got back from it. Pretty damn good. Some things here & there, but I give it a 4.75/5 Won't go into detail, but overall it was definitely worth the price by far.

[[SS]Midnight]

Good to hear they didn't screw it up.

[AEJustin1]

nice!!!!! I am wanting to see this so bad right now lol, I can't wait

[AEJustin1]

No, he won't.

He's salty about it too...

I found this picture and I think it was aimed at J.J. for not putting him in the new movie...........

[[SS]Grifter]

I'm goin this afternoon.....I can't believe I'm actually seeing this before I see Wolverine....There are some movies that you just have to see on the big screen.

[[SS]Wally]

Grifter;107712']I'm goin this afternoon.....I can't believe I'm actually seeing this before I see Wolverine....There are some movies that you just have to see on the big screen.

Exactly why I went to see it yesterday w/ my daughter.

She also wants to go see GIJoe, Transformers 2, and Terminator, but there is no way either of those movies could hold up to Star Trek. I can't wait to see it again. Oh btw, I loved the 1st 2 Star Trek movies, and hated the series.

[[SS]Midnight]

Saw it. Very pleased. Lot's of nice cool action.

[[SSr]LouSaynis]

Definitely not a penny spared on special effects. Extremely awesome in that category.

[[SS]Grifter]

Star Trek = Fucking awesome.

Like Wally - liked the first 2, hated the rest.

[[SS]Wally]

The theater next to my work has these new digital projectors that kick ass. This was the best looking movie I have ever saw my entire life.

I will be buying this on Blue Ray when it comes out.

If they do a sequel, which I hope they do, let's just hope it is just as good.

Agreed Wally. This movie is definitely a keeper.

And I hope that they do a sequel as well. So many places they can take this entire series now that it's been given new life. They haven't even tapped the Klingon aspect of the series yet.

[AEJustin1]

damn you all!!!!!!!!!!! I NEED to see this, hopefully in a few weeks :)

[[SS]Grifter]

I just read a blurb regarding the movie - the core of the cast is signed to reprise their roles in 2 sequels, which is standard practice. Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman and Damon Lindelof began writing the script for a sequel in March 2009, with the hope to complete it by December and produce the film for a mid-2011 release. J.J. Abrams and Bryan Burk will produce, although Abrams has not signed to direct again.

Doesn't mean that JJ Abrams won't, it's not unusual to sign the cast to a trilogy and the director to one film at a time.

[[RVN] SgtJoeFriday]

Seriously Awesome Movie. Saw this Thursday in an early showing.
Love Star Trek, always have.

[Chenzo]

Wally;107720']btw, I loved the 1st 2 Star Trek movies, and hated the series.

What!?

Like liked the first 2 movies, but hated the series? Did you hate teh other 7 movies?

so odd.

(Altho, EVERYONE loves Wrath)

[AEJustin1]

KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Tagger]

Saw it Saturday afternoon and loved it. I hope they planned for a sequel.

I guess hated was pretty drastic for me. I should've said rarely watched. Going to watch it with Dad this weekend, he will dig it if he doesn't fall asleep. lol

[Sabotage]

I never saw most of the other movies but I loved the series. Sab=Astronomy nerd and Star Trek was incredibly accurate when it came to getting this right.

[Tagger]

Dammit Jim, I'm just a doctor!! I lol'd loudly on that line. I was never a treky or too caught up in the crisis of the day. I just liked watching the crew interact.

[[SS]Grifter]

Saw it Saturday afternoon and loved it. I hope they planned for a sequel.

They did. The core cast has signed for 2 sequels :DANCING-banana-032:

[[SS]Wally]

Kick Ass!

[Sabotage]

From what I read is they moved right off the old timeline so that they can do whatever they want and not mess with the original Star Trek.

I won't spoil anything - but they can really take this series into a new direction and develop a brand new fan base.

[Rush]

Yep, very smart. And give non trekies a fresh start to become fans of the series. I gave it a 9 out of 10.

[Tagger]

I'll be looking forward to the next installment and to adding this DVD to my collection. It does make me want to get some of the original episodes and watch them for old times' sake though.

From here at (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_trek) Wiki:

Television series
2.1 The Original Series (1966–1969)
2.2 The Animated Series (1973–1974)
2.3 Phase II
2.4 The Next Generation (1987–1994)
2.5 Deep Space Nine (1993–1999)
2.6 Voyager (1995–2001)
2.7 Enterprise (2001-2005)

[[SS]Chief]

Off to see it tonight on base...with Italian's. This should be interesting....

I can see the questions now: "Why don't they just order a hit on that alien..."

[[SS]Wally]

ROFL!

"Heya, you wanna warp drive, you getta warp drive uh?

Only thing that I can think of that's wrong with the movie is that Spock's mother was in Star Trek IV

Don't forget the main idea of the movie. Excellent movie indeed I was very pleased to see how quite a few "little details" came into existence. Well done.

[[SS]Rator]

Just saw this, great movie. Im a bit of a trekkie and thought the whole friendship kindling with Spock and Kirk was great, Bones was great, you could really tell he studied the way the guy spoke, like his meter and whatnot, very good. The spock/uhura thing, meh, but the whole movie i thought was really well done and not cheesy at all. Buying.
