I finally seen Star Trek (the new movie)

Lol! I've just looked at Daniel Dae Kim's Filmography, not only was he born in South Korea, he has also starred in Star Trek: Voyager (2000) as Gotana-Retz (in episode "Blink of an Eye") & Star Trek: Enterprise (2003-2004) as MACO Corporal Chang. He has Star Trek pedigree

I just saw this. I like dit. It was interesting that even in the alternate reality everyone still came together. Iwas a bit disapointed in the fact Kirk never really one a fight, oh well there is always the sequel.

OK! I finally saw this. Guess I was the last one left? LOL
I thought it was great. J.J. Abrams seems to have the Midas Touch on everything he does.
I thought the way they handled it was brilliant. I think it was the ONLY way they could have approached this movie without totally alienating all the rabid fans. To make it a "Back to the Future"-ish story where basically everything that came before still happened but someone went back and "stepped on a butterfly" and changed the course of events was absolute genius.
I liked a lot of the little touches and I'm sure I missed a million little homages but they were cool nonetheless. Pike in the wheelchair at the end and in a ST:TMP suit was cool.
I also hated the Spock?Uhura thing. Just didn't feel right. The ship, while odd-looking at first was still unmistakably the Enterprise.
I did not like the Romulan advesary and I didn't even realize he was a Romulan until someone said he was in the movie. For them to make the bad guy in this film look so much like the bad guy in Nemesis was kind of stupid in my opinion.
I guess the only part that actually didn't feel right to me was the part that they really couldn't do....make everything "all better" at the end by having Spock (Nimoy) fix the the timeline like pretty much any movie would have as the outcomewhen dealing with time-travel in this manner. If they did that then the whole point of rejuvenating the franchise would be moot.
I'm not sure where they are going with the sequels but at the very least no fan of what came before can truly say they got rid of or changed the continuity that came before. It still happened and Spock(Nimoy) is the proof.
