No, I don't speak Klingon. I always thought it sounded funny the way Kirk's name was pronounced in Klingon.

Kidding aside as a fan of classic Star Trek I am not very hopeful about the new movie. I can take or leave the subsequent spin-off series but the first Star Trek is the one always return to with fond memories.

Re: Star Trek
It looks like dreck not Trek. Flashy and new. Every inch of the new bridge chromed. Classic Trek went so far beyond the sets and special effects. It was the stories and the people acting them that made them worth remembering. I am not hopeful that the producers remember to bring the meat and bones of Trek with them, however I hope to be surprised.FormerBondFan wrote:I wonder why.

Re: Star Trek
I'd love a Star Trek film where The Next Generation crew team up with the Deep Space Nine crew. Unfortunately it would not make that much cash, which is why those who make Star Trek have decided to make something that will appeal to more people.

Re: Star Trek
I just saw Star Trek today, and I thought J.J. Abrams did a great job of handling this prequel. The cast did a great job of playing their part. The main bridge, I thought, was a little too futuristic, but it doesn't matter. The coolest parts in the movie are the opening scene, the bar fight scene, and any scene with the Romulans. However, there are two things that really bothered me the most: and . Well, it's an alternate timeline. What do you expect? Overall, it's best of all Trek movies I've seen.

Re: Star Trek
Just got back from seeing it and I second what FBF said. It's everything that Casino of Solace wasn't: exciting, well-cast (with one exception), smart in the way it made the familiar tropes of the series seem fresh and with a logical reason for the reboot (the alternate timeline). I had a few criticisms: the one exception I mentioned above is the guy who played Chekhov, who looked about as much like Walter Koenig as Daniel Craig looks like James Bond; there was some inappropriate shakycam in scenes where the camera really should have stayed still (though not as bad as QOS's), and Alexander Courage's Star Trek theme over the end credits sat oddly with the rest of the (excellent) music score, which is probably why it's never been used in any of the movies before. Still, I give it 9/10.

Re: Star Trek
Chekhov was w-atrocious. Casting was better in some instances than others and a few aspects of the plot didn't make sense.
I left uncertain on how to rate it. On one hand it was entertaining. On the other it was supposed to be Trek.
I will say that if someone is a fan of the Classic Star Trek series there is nothing for you here. Or rather nothing they have to see.

Re: Star Trek
Can't really rate it... The ads turned me off, I will say, It looks like Fast and Furious in Space. As a Star Trek fan I will pick up the novel and the DVD, but the more I hear about it the worse it seems...

Re: Star Trek
Yup, I hold Star Trek to a certain standard and having it turned into a mindless popcorn blockbuster is below that.
Re: Star Trek
So. I saw Star Trek today aaand.... I liked it.I liked it a LOT.
Won't spoil it for anyone but I thought there were a lot of good lines and scenes-I loved it when.

Re: Star Trek
Fortunately, I think they got the casting of the two leads absolutely right, and that Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto nailed their characters perfectly. I liked Karl Urban as Bones a lot too. Not so sure about Simon Pegg as Scotty. One the one hand, he was nothing like the original Scotty (though I did give a fanboyish smile when he yelled "I'm giving her all she's got, Cap'n!" in classic Trek fashion). On the other hand, I'm a big fan of Pegg in general. For that reason, I'll be charitable and assume that the ropiness of his Scottish accent was a tribute to James Doohan.Blowfeld wrote:Chekhov was w-atrocious.

Re: Star Trek
Actually, Pegg had help with his accent from his wife who is Scottish[/nerdy]
Chekov's accent was my one quibble..it was a bit all over the place at times.

Re: Star Trek
72.5million estimated for the weekend. I'm pretty sure that does not includes the preview screenings.
I thought it would bring in slightly more. Some of paramount numbers are bouncing around. We'll see where it is when it settles.
I finagled my way into a earl prescreening. I thought they got more right than wrong. Overall. It could have been worse and it could have been better.
