Hehe, looking forward to it.

I have been wanting some backstory with George Kirk on film for years now, well ever since he was in the books.

I wanna see how Chris Pine does Kirk. All the trailer pics I've seen of him are encouraging so far.

Might go see it tomorrow with a bunch of friends. I don't expect to be disappointed :D

The ship is ugly, but the movie is awesome... I love the references they had the characters do from previous movies, namely movie VI with Spock's analysis of the situation. 
 
<SPOILER ALERT>The fact that the characters acknowledge that they are in an alternate/parallel time line justifies this reboot in my opinion.</SPOILER>

It's a good movie, not great but good.  I may actually go see it again, which I almost never do for any movie in theaters.

Yeah, that's their saving grace.  If it fails (which since they already green lit the sequel prior to this ones release, I don't think they were really questioning it by the time it was done) they had an out.  It also makes it so that the average Trek fan should be able to enjoy it, but the fear comes with the fact that with success this reality could replace the previous one and many wouldn't want that.  Sort of like a main character waking up and realizing it's all a been a dream.  Fans have invested a lot, and if it's all wiped away in favor of a new reality... that's a scary thing for a lot of people. I just wonder, when will all the time travelling/alternate dimension stuff end and we can get on with having a timeline we can believe in?  It's all fun for an episode or two, but all the time?    Just seems a bit much to me.  Still, I do plan on seeing it at some point, and have no doubt it will be done well for what it is (if only they'd find that reality where the Romulans didn't have those rediculous forheads).

Saw it yesterday...

I want more!

I like this new direction of Trek, a return to action and adventure.

Heh, and I wonder if anyone's gonna model the new fleet of ships we saw in the movie :D

I gotta admit, I was hesitant on the new Enterprise design but it's kinda grown on me. The Kelvin I liked too.

I saw this movie twice today.   it was fricking incredible, if it was a chick I'd give a a ruffie and f*ck her.

Now if only there's enough interest in Trek for a new SFC title to get some funding . . .

Just saw the movie tonight. I had high expectations for this one and to be honest, it exceeded them. I had more fun watching this movie then SW3 Revenge of the sith.

The effects and lighting was spectacular, the story was very good and the acting and dialog was fantastic. Something that SW3 was lacking. I'll definatly go see it again.

When they played the end credit song (which is the music of the 60's original series)that was the icing on the cake.

The whole movie really felt like I was watching a new episode of the original series with up to date special effects etc... Kudos to Abrams and the new actors. A job well done.


Regarding the head of the Romulans, I suggest you buy or read the comic book. It's explained in there.

Saw thie movie this morning after work......WOW!!!!!! :thumbsup:

I thought that it was very well done. Just a few of my thoughts

1. Roms with drones....... and MIRVS  :o

2. Now I never saw that Love Intrest coming  :smitten:

3. For Some reason that Red Shirt with Kirk and Sulu reminded me of 'Kill Crazy" from Red Dwarf  :D

4. I think they need to tone down Scotty just a little bit. :rwoot:

 Saw it with the wife today. We both liked it a lot.  Definitely worth the price of the ticket.

I was hopeful, and I enjoyed it.  It was a good action flick, but I think that's about it.  It was original, but yet, not.  I'm torn about the future of this though.  It's very clear now that the series and movies I grew up with and continue to enjoy are over forever.  Voyager I could do without, but it's sad to know that there will be no continuation of the series I miss so much. 

It's very bittersweet.  Maybe too bitter.

A lot of good Romulan material in the movie and comic book (Star Trek: Countdown) that us green bloods have been craving for a long time. A bit about the new Romulan look:

Quote
"There was a tradition on Romulus that when a loved one died you would paint your grief upon your skin. Ancient symbols of love and loss. In time the paint would fade, and with it the period of mourning. Life would go on. We paint these symbols on our skin now. But we burn them deep. So that they will never fade. Because life does not go on. We died with our friends. We died with our families. We died with Romulus. And all that is left is revenge."

Wish I could get Sethan's take on all this. But take note you filthy Klingon dogs: watch the movie and take note on the proper way to carry out acts of retribution!  ;D
