STAR TREK is BACK !!!!!!!!!!!!

[PNGwynne]

T1K, actually I was waiting on you to provide that well-rounded review.
(No, I'm not being sarcastic.) I'm curious of your honest, as-objective-as-you-can-be opinion of it.


And Hector...you're cracking me up.

Did anyone here see this movie yet that doesn't think it's the greatest movie ever made ?

I'm not knocking it (because I haven't seen it) .... I'd just like a more well rounded review.

All i'm getting from this thread is sickly sweet fluff

It's not a perfect movie, not the greatest movie ever made. What we all are reacting to that it is a real quality, solidly vivid take on the Trek universe that seems to reactivate the new energy it had in the 1960's.

T1K and Hardygirl, even if you are not hopped up to see this new movie, don't wait until it comes to video, see it down the line at a dollar theater. There are some really nice visuals that should be seen big.

Great, it's Mothers Day on Sunday and my wife invited guests for Saturday night, would it be rude if I just put on my coat and said "going out"?

Of course, it would be rude, but the real question is,"Would such a thing be forgiven?".

Darklord, Adam West...you guys are right. If this movie is good it must be seen with an enthusiastic audience. I wonder if I should see it in my neighborhood or cross the bridge and watch it in the City...?? I'll check it out and see where it's playing and maybe see it this weekend.

Grab your son to take along and just say "Honey, I thought the best Mother's Day Gift I could give you is a little peace and quiet."

That's my plan but don't know if it will work. I love going to a movie where the audience is completely psyched...clapping and cheering when the movie is over. Something that can't be experienced at home.

I'm still w/ Mike on this one, only I'll wait til it comes on TV and I'm bored outta my mind. I hated those little clips that were posted. Not a chance I could sit through the whole movie.

[Riffster]

^ not at all

You know there's a brilliant thing that Abrams has done with this "re-boot" of Trek history that should actually make fans of the original actors VERY happy:



************** TEENY-TINY SPOILER************************









With this new "history" that's been created, Captain Kirk no longer needs to have died on Viridian III at the hands of Soran.

In Abram's Trek universe, that reality (and it's full history) still exists somewhere in a parallel reality. But with the actions of villain Nero and "old" (Leonard Nimoy) Spock, both time-travelling into this past, a whole new "history" is being written for these characters, running parallel with the original one.

Old (Leonard Nimoy) Spock comes from (and has memories of) that other original history timeline reality.

What does this mean for Kirk? Well, if history is now being re-written, and if Kirk no longer has to necessarily end up being killed on Viridian III, then there is the potential (as with Nimoy/ Spock in this film) of a future Trek film that features BILL SHATNER himself as an older version of Captain Kirk.

It's not impossible. Don't forget. Abrams offered Shatner a role in this film which he declined to accept because it was not "substantial" enough.

That tells me Abrams was at least willing to feature a story with "old" Captain Kirk.

With the monster success of this film (it definitely WILL be!), there is at least the possibility of Shatner (or other surviving original crew actors) making appearances in any sequels.

My weekend is pretty booked, but I'm going to sneak off with the boy and see this. I don't think I can make it through the weekend without it. My own eyes and good word of mouth is making it impossible.

The movie was great and so was the story. The guy who played McCoy was great! I wanna see it again!!

[The Bat]

ARGH!!!! That wait is KILLING me!! But...I have my Tickets already bought for the noon showing Tomorrow...and Maine just opened it's 1st IMAX Theater right down the Street from Me!!! There is a GOD!

And...I so happy to hear Mike's at least gonna give it a watch on DVD!

[Hulk]

Loved it! Everything it's cracked up to be. Can't wait for the next two movies! Wrath of Khan has a new contender for the Best Trek Movie Crown in my opinion. Lots of very funny stuff with just enough tribute lines to the original to make if feel authentic. Not even a hint of a Berman influence. A franchise has definitely been reborn.

[thunderbolt]

Oh my GOD...you are going to eventually watch it???

I'M SO PROUD OF YOU, MIKE!!!

That way he can gripe about it with authority.
