I might watch this again to see whether i missed something the first time round. Why are so many people telling me this was amazing. It wasn't.
Star Trek
- Thread starter sparky
- Start date
Funny enough the more i think about the movie the better it seems to be in my head - either im just trying to convince myself or its something that was quite good but my expectations of it had kicked me on my backside.
Either way i think i'll see it again aswell to get a definate answer!
Went to see it last night, it was better than any other Star Trek movie. It's almost as good as the Star Wars series of movies. If they make another at this level, I'd go to see the follow up movies.
I give it 3 1/2 stars (Out of five)
Maybe it was the IMAX.
*This coming from a person that can barely stand Star Trek.

It was very good.4/5
To tell you the truth - I was a bit dissapointed with it, especially the story, it's too much cramped up, and Nero who had potential to be one of the best evil characters, turns out to be a fecking miner...WTF? It feels to me it was made more for kids, don't know, maybe I expected too much...
Theres a comic strip that goes hand in hand with the movie, it was released before and the movie would take it off from there. It basically explained how the mining ship was beefed into a warship, details of the supernova, that jellyfish ship...
IMO the director tried to turn Star Trek into Star Wars...
twas ok, but i felt myself thinking this is going on too long by the end of it
Just watched it. Enjoyed it quite a lot considering it was plagued with the kind of time travel mumbo jumbo that normally does my head in.
One bit that I did find funny though was when Spocks mum died. Just move back a couple of steps from the edge you illogical woman.

I thought it was ACE!
And explosions and CGI doesn't usually do it for me.
And the chap playing a young Kirk had the Shatner mannerisms down to a tee, at times... made me crack up how much I saw of him in him.

Me and my ex did that midway through the previous X-files film last August... Not hardcore X-files fans or anything... it was just insanely shit, is all.
She's trés confrontational, and wound up getting our money back

You still missing her?
I thought it was a cool movie except for that guy from Charlie Bartlett with the crap Russian accent and the Kirk's friend the doctor who was either a terrible actor or there was some joke that I wasn't getting.
Otherwise it was top-notch!

Karl Urban playing McCoy?
Did a really good job I thought. If you ever watched the original tv series you'd know where he was coming from.
Yeah i though his performance was really up there. TBH i thought everyone did a great job, they actually made you feel it was the orginal cast but younger
Meh.
It was watchable, if I'm being kind

Saw it today. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
Two thumbs up.

Spock fancier
I know...Spock got hot.
I don't remember that in the original.
So did Bones, now you mention it. And Sulu. And Checkov.
Maybe there just weren't any hot actors in the '60s.

Carlos Puyol looks like a one those thingy people with a mars bar stuck on their heads.
That said, there was a distinct lack of anything "...on the starboard bow!"
Maybe in the next one.
I wanna play a Vulcan...when are the auditions?

Oh yeah! Plus the film opened with Sabotage* FFS!
Any film that does that is Oscar worthy, if you ask me.

I watched an episode of Star Trek Enterprise the other day. The plot holes were astonishingly huge.
In the film too.
There should be rules for this sort of thing. Time travel; unless you know where you're going with it, stay the feck away from.
First cricket, and now this.
Sometimes I wonder if we're really meant for each other.
What plot holes? It made perfect sense to me.
And teleportation.
What annoys me is that Star Trek invariably - in whatever form it takes - resorts to time travel storylines. It's as if they run out of ideas in the giant blank canvas that is unexplored space.
The whole time travel angel was totally pointless other than as a weak excuse to include Leonard Nimoy in the film for some reason.
It wasn't exactly explained properly either. "Ah, we discovered this thing which causes this to happen, and then a black hole appears just because, and we all travel back in time somehow, and then take our revenge on everything for a bunch of stuff that hasn't happened yet, in an alternate reality that we can't technically even exist in"
I realise that since it's Star Trek, stuff like this isn't supposed to matter, but, just leave time travel be. It never hurt anyone (except for Arjen Robben)
It was totally explained properly. I got it. Red matter > black hole > sucked back in time > revenge for the death of his pregnant missus.
He wasn't sucked back in time, he was sucked into an alternate reality that happened to be at a different point in time. So technically, not taking revenge for anyone, as it's a different reality to the one his missus died in. Dodgy ground
Either that or fecking about with the past, therefore preventing himself from ever travelling back in time to feck about with the past in the first place.

Yeah he was. He got sucked back to the day of Kirk's birth and then had to wait 25 years for old Spock to come through after him.
Conveniently long enough for Kirk and Spock to get old enough to kick his Romulam ass.
Yeah, I said it.
Did anyone else notice, by the way, that Kirk's dad was actually Kim outta Home and Away?
He wasn't. If he was, scenario no 2 applies.
Time travel - leave well alone
Wait, are we supposed to be giving away the plot for the entire movie in this thread?
Yeah, maybe you should go back and put a big "Here Be Spoilers" sign up.
Oh, and also edit my woeful spelling of Romulan.

To be fair, we are talking about a world where pasty, pointy-eared men with bowl haircuts are considered hot...time travel is the least of their worries.
or maybe I could travel back in time to before the thread was started, "somehow", and ban Sparky.
That'd solve everything

I have an autographed photo of Nichelle Nichols that I had signed by her at a Star Trek convention. This likely makes me the biggest geek on the forum.
