NEW STAR TREK LOOKING TO GO BOLDLY !!!

The new film, opening this weekend, broke all expectations and carrying a whopping 76.5 Million opening weekend.

Apparently, contrary to some's belief around here, Star Trek did NOT die, and seems to be doing very well indeed.

Almost everyone I've talked to, long term Trekker and newbie Trekkie alike, said the film was AWESOME.

Discuss here, and be nice, I will sure phaser the first person that comes in here being crappy.

If you haven't seen the movie and intend on sh*t-bagging it, STFU. The movie rocked.

I am a sucker for red heads......and apparently green skin too.

I've seen it twice once by myself on Friday, and once with the kids. They basically roll their eyes at anything trek but they both enjoyed the movie.

I thought that J.J. Abrams devoutly followed all of my suggestions regarding how all weapons are sub-light, and that going to warp is really, really, really fast so that you cannot shoot at each other while at warp, and they used AMDs to shoot down missiles and there were a lot of booms and bangs and shizbangs and the other fun Star Wars stuff. They even had Capt. Pike do an Han Solo and say "Punch It!!" when going to warp. All in all, the movie was great.

But, how come Kirk loses the girl to a Vulcan?

They should had had DH take his spot.

Bah, the amount of money earned during the first weekend is irrelevant to how good a movie is. I'm sure everyone remembers how much money Star Wars: Episode One made when it was released. I'm also sure you remember how many Oscars it won and how it was loved by all the fans... oh wait

. Besides they always use money earned instead of the number tickets sold and never adjust for inflation. Therefore what your looking at is totally skewed, especially since theaters have different prices (I saw it in a IMAX theater which meant I spent $4 more than if I had gone to a regular theater).

EmeraldEdge · « **Reply #15 on:** May 11, 2009, 10:59:06 pm »

Well, I heard they gave the go ahead for the next one several weeks ago. Somebody told me today, that it was getting luke warm reviews. Hmmm.

If it actually gets the ball rolling, then it was a great movie (even if I haven't seen it yet)

Ships' profile still looks ghastly. I can only give the film a 9 out of 10.
