    Thought it was a good pop corn flick. Glad i'm not as pedantic as most on here. If you want a movie to be a certain way, then chances are it will never satisfy your expectations. I think Abrams will do a good Star Wars flick, he passed the audition with this. Theres even a flying scene that reminded me of the Millenium Falcon.

      Enjoyed the hell out of it, solidly entertaining. Definitely going to be one of the biggest hits of the summer.

      I'd be sad if I couldn't enjoy a fun movie for what it is.

        I have a question just askew of the topic of this thread. But it seems my answer will be found here. In the original series, How many years in the Captain seat was Kirk at the beginning of the series? I am not implying anything this or leading anywhere with this question.

          I believe canon puts Kirk in "Where No Man Has Gone Before" less than a year after assuming command.

              Saw it and enjoyed it. I was surprised they killed off pike. I wanted to laugh a little more, but i enjoyed when kirk accused spock of throwing him "under the bus."

                I do like the fact that these new films make the Engineering part of the ship far more complex than it has ever been before. The ship feels more 'real' somehow, ad a result.

                  Unfortunately, it's not doing all that well at the box office. It's not breaking any records. That being said, all the Star Trek movies never really set the box office on fire. Of the older movies, maybe Star Trek 4 and 8 did any business.

                    A few things I didn't like about the first move is how stark plasticy white the Enterprise interiors were and all the glare and lens flair. Has this been changed or toned down at all in the new movie?
                    You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

                        I know I'm posting the same thing twice but I didn't realize theres two different threads about this movie. Anyway, to repeat myself intentionally....

                        I can't believe they kept the details about this film under wraps the way they did. Go see it before you find out too much about it. What the trailer showed and what the movie is are two different things but the final film is soooo much better than I thought. I'm pretty sure this is the best Trek film to date and word of mouth will help this along.

                        As for the ticket sales you cannot go by those. Theaters are always padding their numbers by selling the incorrect film to the movie you ask for. Last week I went to see Gatsby, and the cashier gave me two tickets for Iron Man 3. Today I asked for two tickets for Star Trek and got two tickets to Iron Man 3. This isn't an accident. Theaters do this deliberately to offset the cost of the price they pay for the number of prints they ordered per theater. I spent years working in movie theaters as a manager and we were told for years by the GM's to do this exact same thing from time to time. Lord of The Rings was a huge offender of this same practice. Box Office cashiers are told to do it discreetly and selectively and it's way more rampant than you might think.

                          I am still surprised that the audience loves a rip off of ST: TWoK.

                          I suppose they should just steal everything in The Undiscovered Country for the next movie, but add an obvious twist to make it 'okay.' Maybe have humans as an endangered species after and accident causes the sun to be extinguished, and General Kang is sent to help The Federation, while Kirk steals a cloaking device and uses it aboard the Enterprise to stop friendly Klingons who try to give food, water and ships to Starfleet. Captain Kirk attacks the new Vulcan colony, makes it look like the Klingons did it, then the Vulcans, the Humans and the Klingons get to have a massive hour and a half space battle in 3D. Ending with Kirk being blown up by Kang's gas seeking torpedo, but then Spock sends Kang to a Vulcan penal colony.

                          Does Meyer, and the writers of Space Seed and Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan, get paid again for their work and ideas (intellectual property)?, or do they at least get a credit for it, or a special thanks?

                            I saw it this afternoon and loved it. A fun ride from start to finish.

                                Yep, this constant negativism is getting old.
